This complex, brilliant author passed away March 15, 1998 in Chico, CA. He left a number of works unfinished and it is hoped that they may be published in some form. This book is an insightful look at the "romance and reality" of Alaska. A good read for anyone who has ever thought of going to Alaska for an adventure lifestyle.

"Leaving Alaska" is an excellent example of an auto- biography. Grant Sims has a woderful an unique writing style with descriptions of a time and place that puts the reader right into the story. Any would-be-writer should read this incredible account of one man's experiences and memoirs of a beautiful and rugged land. J. Edward Gladden

Of what I can guess of the first book, I can say that the reviewer is accurate. What she says of the Shadow and Harry Vincent is true, for in the second story Harry is very loyal to the shadow and would trade his life to protect the shadow in the second adventure. The writing itself, as the reviewer suggest is very simple. I would also have to agree with this too, for I also thought the writing was simple and not met to stupefy any reader who chooses to read his books.

Harry Vincent had decided to end it all, and was ready to jump to his death when he met a man who saved him - then claimed Harry's life for his own. Harry would live in comfort, the man declared, there was but one thing that he wanted from him. Absolute obedience.

Harry agreed.

He was slipped, immediately, into intrigue like he had never before known. Placing his trust in the mysterious unseen figure who had rescued him, Harry conducted a sideways investigation. He was a tool, gathering the pieces of a puzzle so complex that the only person who could see the whole picture was the mysterious figure who had orchestrated his investigation to begin with, the man that Harry called The Shadow.

THE LIVING SHADOW, originally published in 1931, is a mystery/detective novel starring -- in a sort of behind-the-scenes fashion -- the classic radio hero The Shadow. Easily readable and full of twists and turns, it's hard to believe that this book ever went out of print at all! One must admit that the prose is not the most lyrical or evocative ever written, but it is a genre novel. Its purpose is to entertain, not to stupefy the reader with its eloquence!

For this reader, whose sole experience with The Shadow is part of an old radio drama and the movie starring Alec Baldwin, this was a real treat. The story isn't glamorous, and The Shadow is really nothing more than a vague blur in the narrative, but THE LIVING SHADOW is a fascinating adventure from the point of view of one of his 'claimed' men. This book is a must-read anyone who has ever found themselves intrigued by the tale of The Shadow.

This new electronic edition of the book also features an introduction written by Jean Marie Stine.

No other Lobo story produced holds a candle to Lobo: The Last Czarnian. Keith Giffen and Alan Grant's dialog is inspired as well as laugh out loud hilarious. Simon Bisley's artwork is amazing. It's truly his best art, and some of the best art ever published by DC.

The story is deceptively simple. Lobo must transport Mz. Tribb- his 4th grade teacher and author of his scathing unauthorized biography- to Vril Dox. Lobo has promised to deliver Mz. Tribb alive, and Logo never breaks a promise. The worst news is Lobo would like nothing more than to kill his former schoolteacher. He vents his homicidal rage in a series of hilarious adventures. Four comic books are reprinted in this volume and by the end of book 2, Lobo is being hunted by

The Legion of Decency- psychotic, tea-sipping grannies out for blood
A convoy of space truckers -their leader is an Elvis impersonator
The Sons of Lobo- biker Lobo wannabes
Oneida Police Swat Team- who want to kill Lobo after he kills their police chief
Storm Troupers of the Pan-Galactic Demolition Dance Company- desperate to pay Lobo back for upstaging them during their chainsaw ballet.

During his adventures Lobo also runs afoul of the Orthography Commandos, a group of hooded literacy loonies that hold lethal spelling bees.

This story was far ahead of it's time. Originally published back in 1990, it's every bit as relevant, irreverent, and hilarious today as the day it was published.

---Also, a must have for Garth Ennis fans!---

With dialogue by Alan Grant (Batman:Anarky, No Mans Land, etc) and art by Simon Bisley (Slaine), this comic is bound to be a success.

Lobo is a lunatic bountyhunter (more like bountyslayer) who has killed everyone on his birthplanet, just to be unique! The problem is that his old schoolteacher has survived and he has to protect her. The story is set in the DC Universe paralell to the Legion of Superheroes. Parts of the plot includes chainsaw ballet and a murderous spelling contest.

This is a good comic book and is recommendet to those who have read "Hitman" and such comics. Try this one instead, the original.

I read a Polish translation of this book when I was 9 years old, re-reading and re-re-reading it many times. Many years later, having migrated with my parents to Australia, thanks to that book I was very familliar with Australia's early history, seeing me well into high school. As well as that I became very familliar with new Zealands history of white settlement, as well as some history and geography of South America. This book is Verne at his best.

THIS IS A WONDERFUL BOOK, MY FAVORITE OF JULES VERN'S. EVEN THOUGH IT ISN'T VERY WELL-KNOWN, I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO READ IT WHEN I WAS ABOUT TWELVE. IT HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE EVER SINCE. EVEYBODY WHO LOVES ADVANTURE WILL LIKE THIS BOOK! ENJOY!

If, like myself, your opinion of music critics has ranged somewhere between tolerance and contempt, prepare for a delightful awakening. In this survey, Mark Grant proves that critics are not only sensitive, dedicated intellectuals -- they are actually human. Grant makes his point via anecdotes, sketches and quotes that bring his cast of personalities to life. And what personalities! From the super-curmudgeon, H.L. Mencken, to the super-artist, Virgil Thompson, you'll meet an array of scholars and scoundrels who, whether you like it or not, helped to shape your tastes. You'll discover that their ranks included not only professionals, like Deems Taylor and Olin Downes, but such unlikely "amateurs" as Emerson, Whitman and Howells. You'll also discover Mark Grant, himself a composer and musicologist, through whose readable, unpatronizing style we share a love for his art and for those sometimes-noble, sometimes-naughty music critics.

I highly recommend Mark Grant's Maestros Of The Pen to all lovers of classical music as well as to performers, composers and followers of the American cultural scene, past and present. When I picked up the book, I was expecting to wade through a dry but informative academic tome; instead, I found myself being swept along by Grant's witty verbal virtuosity applied to a surprisingly fascinating subject . In addition to his concise historic synthesis of the critics and their aesthetic, Grant's endeavor also features a consistently stimulating subtext, juxtaposing the "then" and the "now". By reaching backward and forward in time, Grant personalizes his research and gives his work a tremendous contemporary resonance.

Menefestation of his presence is such an awesome book. So well writen I hardly knew I was in the middle of the book.I laughed, I cried, and I laughed again. Sophia lets you enter her life by sharing all that she has experienced. She reveals how anything is possible with help from God. Everybody should read this book and give it to someone who needs to feel Gods love!!

I found this book to be such a wonderful selection of short stories. It seemed more like I was reading the story of Sophia's life. Once I started, I couldn't put the book down until I completed it. It made me laugh, cry and feel very inspired spiritually. This woman had great faith and the book shows how faith can get you through anything life dishes out!

While I am only in my thirties I can remember my family driving thru Bath and my folks describing the terrible event that transpired years previously. How what would have been 3 of my dad's cousins were killed and 1 injured. This story somehow stirs sad and nostalgic feelings within me. This book really makes such an unbelievable event seem very real, and something in my life will be missing forever because of Andrew Kehoe

Two days before Charles Lindbergh flew the Atlantic the bombing of a school took place in Bath, Michigan. On May 18, 1927, a deranged killer by the name of Andrew Kehoe attempted to kill as many children and adults by dynamite explosives planted in the Bath schoolhouse. His success was thwarted when only half of the dynamite exploded. The events leading up to the "Bath School Disaster" are well documented by the author Grant Parker. The story of mid-America in the 1920's is chronicled in a accurate and informative way by the author, as he presents a way of life that was disrupted for many families for a lifetime. I have a special interest in this book because both my mother and my uncle were in in the other half of the school that did not blow up on that Mayday. For more than seventy years the survivors of the disaster have met in the Spring of each year to continue their survival bonding with each other.
