Griffin Jove, 1982 Excellent military novel (with flaws) If you want to understand the "culture" of the military, read this book. Then, if you liked it, read the whole "Brotherhood of War" series, of which it is the first book. I spent four years in the Navy (one in Vietnam), but I never really understood the positive side of the military until I read "The Lieutenants." It's easy to find novels that are critical of military values, and it's easy to ...             Last of Zinja (Shike, Book 2)24 reviews Robert Shea Jove, 1986 The Amazing Zinja Saga! I am a 21 year old student interested in all things mysterious and interesting. I love reading and have read many great book, but the "Shike" series is by far the most amazing i have ever read. Upon reading the first few chapters, i was instantly transported back in time to ancient Japan following the journey of the warrior Zinka monk, Jebu, and his soul mate, Taniko. Filled with suspense, ...             November of the Heart31 reviews Jove, 1994 A Tender and Sweet romance! One of the best i have ever read! Levyrle Spencer can just make you feel what her characters are feeling so effortlessly that you laugh and cry with them and almost forget that they are not real. Lorna and Jens are one of her most real characters and their situation is also so real. The way they are helpless against their attraction to each other even after knowing it would be disastrous was so beautifully written that you could ...             The Eternal Mercenary (Casca, No. 1)41 reviews Barry Sadler Jove, 1987 Original Idea, Great Writing, Entertaining Historical Series A while back a friend of mine mentioned something about a series of books following a man who is immortal, and this man was immortal because he was cursed to live forever by Christ as he was dying on the Cross. The man's name is Casca. Casca is a soldier of the Roman army around the time of Christ's death, sometime around 33 A.D. Casca is the soldier assigned to the mundane task of waiting for ...             The Light Bearer90 reviews Donna Gillespie Jove, 1996 I loved it! Suspenseful, passionate, breathtaking imagery The Lightbearer is truly an amazing read. Once I began it, I couldn't pull myself away from the spell of Auriane, woman warrior, fighting for the survival of her embattled Germanic tribe against the all powerful Roman army. The characters are so richly drawn, I had an immediate sense of our shared humanity, despite the remoteness of their times. I was captivated by the vivid descriptions of ...             To Sir With Love23 reviews E. R. Braithwaite Jove, 1979 A Classic About Both Education & Life A very enjoyable book. Braithwaite tells an inspirational story about both teaching kids but also overcoming prejudice as a black man in post WWII England. I'm a new teacher and hope to develop the type of relationship he had with his students with mine some day.             The Grand Sophy42 reviews Georgette Heyer Jove, 1981 Sophy is Grand This is one of the best of Georgette Heyer's novels. For anyone unfamiliar with her works, she is Jane Austen with an even strong sense of the absurd and the wit to see through people's pretensions. Sophy is the "not-so-little any more" niece of Lady Ombersley, whose arrival promptly sets the family's well ordered world on its ear. Her cousin, Charles, is at first infuriated and then gradually ...             Cotillion33 reviews Georgette Heyer Jove, 1982 Sweet story, funny, better each time I have read it I first discovered Georgette Heyer when I was a teenager. I read her book Friday's Child and was completely hooked. Cotillion is one of my favorites. The interweaving of the romances of four different couples is delightful. By the end of the book, you feel as if you have spent time with friends. I cannot recommend Heyer's books too highly. She, in my opinion, created the Regency romance ...             Nightworld19 reviews F. Paul Wilson Jove, 1993 "THE END OF LIFE AS WE KNOW IT"? Nightworld is a seriously scary book. Not personally scary but scary for the world as we know it. Nightworld completes the Nightworld series, which consists of six books, starting with The Keep. I've read all books and until the publication of Nightworld, it was called The Adversary Series, taken from the fact that the underlying element of this series is the ongoing confrontation through ...             Angel Unaware22 reviews Dale Evans Rogers Jove, 1979 Touched my life in a very special way.... I received this book for my 10th birthday from my parents, many years ago. At the time, I was very impressionable and this book made a significant impact on my life. I learned then that what we as fallible humans consider to be "imperfect" according to our standards of ignorance and bias is usually the most precious of all things to God. Now, I have a two-year-old son with Down Syndrome and I ...             8 Million Ways to Die21 reviews Lawrence Block Jove, 1984 A shiny new edition of an excellent '80s mystery It's 2008, and it's the 25th anniversary of the Lawrence Block's Eight Million Ways to Die. So let's put out a celebratory edition! I've never read a Block book, so I'm not sure why this particular book warrants a re-issue in a special hardcover, but it does mark a significant milestone in Matt Scudder's career, so maybe that's why. This handsome hardcover also includes an afterword by Block, ...             Arabella19 reviews Georgette Heyer Jove, 1983 Light romance, with a lot of humourous moments Another Heyer favorite of mine (of which I have many!LOL), this story chronicles the escapades of Arabella. She is the eldest daughter of a vicar in the countryside, with 7 other siblings, and she has just received notice from her godmother in London that she will be sponsoring her coming out into polite society. She is one of Heyer's younger heroines, being only 17, but she is a very delightful ...             The Gunsmith 070 (Gunsmith, The)20 reviews J.R. Roberts Jove, 1987 A thrilling conclusion for the web of magic series! I must say it wasn't the best in the series and it wasn't the worst, it was perfect. I am a BIG fan of the avalon series so right away when it was out I so bought it. Anyways now with the story which is basically what we are supposed to type about, Emily, Adriane, and Kara now finally have to destroy black fire... and all have a major part to fufill(i may have spelled it wrong!lol) the prophcey ...             Greely's Cove19 reviews John Gideon Jove, 1991 Wow! It is refreshing to find a book that can give me the creeps. Greely's Cove showed me that there are still stories out there that can push the right buttons for me. Right from the beginning I knew this would be a special story. Some of the ideas presented in this book were simply outstanding moments of horror. A mother is driven to suicide after the miraculous recovery of her autistic son ...             They Speak With Other Tongues19 reviews John L. Sherrill Jove, 1982 A Classic - as relevant now as the day it was written I first read "They Speak with Other Tongues" as a very young pastor, more than forty years ago. At the time I already believed in and practiced the gift of speaking in tongues. Still, I found this book to be a tremendous confirmation to my faith. It was especially interesting to me because the author was a non-Pentecostal and at that time the vast majority of people who spoke in tongues belonged ...              search for books angel, arabella, bearer, book, brotherhood, casca, cotillion, cove, eternal, grand, greely, gunsmith, heart, last, lieutenants, light, love, mercenary, million, nightworld, november, other, shike, sophy, speak, they, tongues, unaware, ways, zinja books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
