The WHOLE Series
Just for the record there are MORE than 12 books. Furthermore, yes, they are incredible. It's an ongoing adventure with a fantastic plot. I've used them to get my students into reading allowing them to DO something with their reading. But yes, there are more than 12, I DO in fact have them all and am NOT in fact interested in parting with them.

Great Series
The Lone Wolf series is a great series. I have all 12 books and am going through them all again. Get this book.

brillant book,period.
The book basically brings you right smack into the surreal world,whereby evil and good fight for control.I can say joe dever moves you with all the vivid memories of how lone wolf journeys through the land to arrive at durenor to get the sommerswerd.The book made me think about life in fact and could even control my feelings[angry,sad,etc.]with the vivid descriptions of the situations.UNFORTUNATELY the books are all out of print.I just wish joe dever would actually consider reprinting new issues,as i never had a chance to find out how lone wolf developed in the later issues.PLEASE DO REPUBLISH THE BOOKS.

Who Tamed Who Here?
This is the first book of the de Burgh family and my God I can't wait to get to the others if this one is indicative of what is coming. WOW!

This is the story of the eldest son Dunstan deBurgh and Marion Warenne. It starts out with Marion being rescued by Simon de Burgh and brought to Castle Campion (home to the de Burgh clan)where she stays for the next 6 months before even meeting Dunstan - the eldest de Burgh son. Marion has sustained amnesia and after months of of trying to find out who Marion is the discovery is made and she is to be returned to her Uncle. After putting it to a vote of the 6 de Burgh brothers, Dunstan was elected to return her to her Uncle.

Dunstan had his own property to care for and was very much aginst having to take the time to return this 'piece of baggage' back to her uncle. Marion still did not remember her past but knew, without a doubt, that if she was returned she would be killed. Consequently the trip to return her was one escape attempt after another as she tried to run away from Dunstan.

Dunstan had his own problems, honor bound to do complete this mission his father gave him, and trying to tell himself that he was not feeling any kind of attraction to this 'little brown wren'. Stubborn to a fault, he did NOT believe in love and this was something that did not happen to real people.

What a delightful trip! Naturally, these two get to spend some time together - alone - and what a reckoning this becomes! WOW - Dunstan is one lusty kind of knight and the passion is returned from this 'little brown wren' ! Definitely a page turner and one you must try to get your hands on because you will want to read this one over and over again! The best!

A wonderful read... too bad it's out of print.
I found this book in my workers' lounge and truly enjoyed it. I could barely put it down. I know it's out of print... but if you can get a copy... you won't regret it. Happy Readings everyone!

one of the best medieval reads ever!
I was sad to see this book end, it was so incredible and really drew me in. I felt a real connection to these characters and have read it again several times since because I was so involved with their story. If you are a medieval lover, and even if you're not, Taming the Wolf will take your breath away!

Takes Star Trek style story to the next level
For those of you who don't know, Gerrold is the unoffical co creator of Star Trek The Next Generation. After reading this novel it made me think of how much better the characters might have been had he been writing the Next Generation TV show. All of the characters in this novel take the Star Trek theme to a more realistic level.

A great "star-trek" style novel !!!
Gerrold is a master story-teller,this book is great example of "space opera" science-fiction. The story is about a young first officer on is last voyage before taking command of his ship,the book also speaks about the first days of a terrible war,and the struggle of a crew and his captain to engage and destroy an enemy vessel in order to gain a name for their ship. If you like true sci-fi stories and well-built characters you must read this book. Well done David,we hope to read more about Korie and his crew.

It was much better then Cats.
Gerrold gives you a "Star Trek" like story line combined with a reasonable (and rather elegant) explanation of how the technology actualy works. (Even if he does forget that time is distorted at FTL speeds) He allso wrote the "Troubles with Tribbles" episode and you can see it in his trek-like writing style.

Great Story and Great Game!
This game has an excellent RPG system and storyline.
I like the 'random # table' and 'combat results table' Dever uses in this book (and other RPG books of his). The book is just like a video game with all the options that you can do (Which makes those "Choose Your Own Adventure Books" I played as a kid a big joke) and many options in the battles (fight, cast a spell from your staff, flee, use item, etc.). The story is gets a little complex as your character uses his newfound powers of the moonstone to defeat an evil wizard in book 4.

excellent!!!
the whole series is great! I wish there were as many sequels as in the original lone wolf series!

Incredible Adventure!!
Grey Star has his work cut out for him. As the finale of the series, Dever and Page really went the full nine yards to create a quest that is not only suspenseful, but challenging. I would have to say that my favorite moment is when you are being chased by a thousand ugly demons and your horse is put out of commission. You are left with two options: run 20 miles to safety, or die! There are new challenges around every corner. I wish that more of this series was written.

wonderful
This is a wonderful book with lots of amazing wolf and landscape pictures. While some people might be disturb by some of the dead animals in the picture, as a animal lover I reckon this book had shown the reality of the nature truthfully, and I really love this book.

Beautiful Photos
This is an excellent book on artic wolves. I enjoyed reading about their lives. If you are not in the mood to read the photos are worth the cost of the book.

It takes a village-the wolf still knows what we've forgotten
Brandenburg's experience shows the wolf as a loving and compassionate family-oriented animal that is as wild at heart as they come. These highly intelligent creatures seemed to stay a step ahead of their distant watchers. This leads to some hilarious encounters and a tear jerking ending. Follow this up with "Brother Wolf."


Winning Management: 6 Fail-Safe Strategies for Building High Performance Organizations
Published in Audio Cassette by Achievement Pub (1997)
Author: Wolf J. Rinke
Amazon base price: $59.95

Mission and Vision: Defining it and articulating it
This book is a "must have" for all managers: young and old, mature and just beginning.

For new managers, the book contains essential guidelines for establishing a vision, communicating the mission, and securing buy-in of your team members. It will help the new manager communicate effectively and establish confidence with the team.

For the mature manager (read "aged" manager), this book augments your "home-grown" techniques with many new ideas. I found the book re-inforced my "home-grown" style and augmented it with new ideas.

A Must Read!
Once again Wolf Rinke provides readers with the necessary steps to succeed... this is the second book I have read of his. It is well written, easy to understand and follow... and perhaps most importantly - easy to implement so that gaining the highest performance becomes reality. Wolf Rinke's strategies for success are second to none!

Superb book for managers
Wolf Rinke's latest book is a great addition to his collection of well-received books and and personal improvement products. "Winning Management" clearly shows the reader what must be done to excel in management. This is a practical guide to success on the job and can be used easily by any supervisor at any level of an organization. My copy is well-used!

Having seen Dr. Rinke present his strategies for success as a seminar leader and author, and also having heard the outcomes of his plans of action, I know that he can positively and quickly affect your success at work.

Very Enjoyable!
I thought that WOLF AMONG THE SHEEP was a very enjoyable read. This one kept my interest all the way through. It has a fast moving plot with an interesting cast of characters. It has plenty of intrigue revolving around two homicides in two days. Are they connected?? Not to worry....Nick Wolf is on the case! Although Nick might have some issues in life, his intuition and hunches push him in the right direction.

I recommend this book for lovers of creative murder/mystery novels with an added touch of humor.

Nick is someone the reader can immediately identify with
Les Blain is a former respiratory therapist, photographer, dog lover, and first-time author. Hailing from Central Illinois, he loves to watch trains and people.

Wolf Among The Sheep is Blain's first Nick Wolf detective mystery. Nick is a Second Grade Detective with the Skuller County Sheriff's Police. With twenty years under his belt, Nick is divorced, hates cats, loves dogs, and hates Fundamentalists...especially the type who dominate women. Nick is called upon to investigate an apparent car accident which resulted in the death of one Julie Looper, whom the townspeople knew as Sharon Mowry. Julie/Sharon had gotten involved with The Flock, a group of Fundamentalists headed up by Sam Harshman. Then a psychologist named Dr. Elizabeth Peterson is brutally murdered the day after, right after Nick interviews her. He is the only one who sees a connection, especially after reading Dr. Peterson's descriptions of the seduction of converts to these groups:

"Dr. Peterson had gathered enough experience with this group that some patterns had begun to emerge. The first stage she called the seduction. That was where the potential member came into their initial contact with the group but hadn't yet joined. They maintained their skepticism and their identity at this point. This is the stage that she called 'love bombing' began. Established members of the group were encouraged to pay a lot of attention to the prospect at this point. Lot of phone calls and expressions of concern, gifts and favors out of the blue, that type of thing."

Nick Wolf differs from your basic pulp detective in that he absolutely adores his children and misses being married. In fact, his paternal instincts are his prime motivating force in uncovering this crime. A likeable character who is completely unaffected, Nick is someone the reader can immediately identify with. His caustic wit is his way of handling the horrors he encounters, and his sidekick Benjamin Lowenstein completes an "Odd Couple" type of relationship that is touching and funny. Blain does an excellent job of depicting what life is like in rural America. Life is simple, but people are still as complicated as they are in larger cities. It is the quest for control and power that creates the criminal mind...no matter where one lives. A great read.

The irony...GREAT mystery
The irony in the title of Wolf Among the Sheep is that "wolf" implies the bad guy and "sheep," the innocents. Les Blain has created an excellent mystery where the "wolf" is Detective Wolf, but then again it can mean a possible bad person amongst the sheep, any way...this is a great book. I recommend it.The mystery part blows you away; keeps you turning the pages. Blain describes in great detail the lifestyle of the "sheep" in a fundalegalist society of narrow minded Christians who really believe it is, "their way or no way." Wolf has his work cut out for him when two women come up dead and they both have ties to the congregation of "sheep." The wife of the leader of the group sums up the group's mindset when she says, "I listen to him (her husband, the leader) the way a sheep listens to a shepherd. I wouldn't think of going against what he says." Hence, "sheep" may not be so innocent, more of the irony.The book is well written and the characters are delightful, especially Detective Wolf. There is humor, information about many religions, medical facts, police investigatory practices; in total it is a lot of story packed into one mystery. Outstanding.

Wonderful Novel About West Texas and It's History
This book ranks among my top five personal favorite novels of all time. Mr. Kelton weaves a tapestry of West Texas culture and history and storytelling that will envelop a reader. The story of two men, Gideon Ledbetter, a former slave who becomes a US Cavalry soldier (or Buffalo soldier, as they were historically known), and Gray Horse Running, an American Indian fighting for his way of life, is an absolute must-read. His description of weary solidiers travelling through the West Texas desert will have you reaching for a glass of water!! I first read this book as a college assignment and have happily recommended it to friends and family for years. I consider it to be Mr. Kelton's masterpiece, even better than "The Good Old Boys" or "The Time It Never Rained" which are also outstanding. Some smart person is going to make a great movie out of this book one day.

I read it twice for reviews
Luther Butler THE WOLF AND THE BUFFALO BY ELMER KELTON Elmer Kelton skillfully takes the rugged geography of West Texas, accounts of the Texas Comanche wars, mixes in the Buffalo soldiers with their hair the Indians thought looked like the curly buffalo, and adds white officers, Comanches, buffalo hunters, and makes an epic struggle of two cultures that will be enjoyed by many generations of readers. And to add spice to the story, he stirs in the women of San Angelo, Texas who washes not only clothes but who provide sexual relief for the men who chase dusty savages into a world unknown to them. The story centers around two strong characters. The Buffalo is Private Gideon Ledbetter, a recently released Louisiana slave who is now a member of the Tenth U.S. Calvary stationed at Fort Concho, Texas. Hated by most of the white settlers, Ledbetter has two jobs. When he is not chasing Comanches, he spends his time building adobe buildings and shoveling horse manure at the fort, but. he prefers to be on patrol trying to make the savage Comanches go to a reservation in Oklahoma Territory. He goes out with Lieutenant Hollander under Black Sergeant Nettles. Ledbetter grows stronger in his position until he eventually takes over Nettles job. The wolf is Gray Horse, a young Comanche warrior who tries to keep the invading settlers after the Civil War from killing his people's source of food, the buffalo. In constant visions, the wolf and the raven seek to lead the developing warrior to new buffalo herds. Symbolically, Gray Horse sees visions of a red buffalo calf. Unlike Ledbetter, Gray Horse declines in prestige until he is forced to make a suicidal attack before his people go into servitude on the Oklahoma reservation. Ledbetter almost loses his focus because of the beautiful mulatto, Hannah York, who gives a purpose for him to not only live, but to advance so he can earn enough money to marry and start a family. The old woman who controls the desirable young maiden saves her charge so she can sell sexual favors to the white officers. After the young soldier has enjoyed Hannah's body numerous times, he finds her with his commanding officer, Lieutenant Hollander. Hannah is forced to leave. Sergeant Nettles saves Ledbetter's career by talking sense to the betrayed young man who planned to marry his beloved. Hollander's subsequent marriage to a proper young lady and his attempt to repair the damaged relation with Ledbetter forms a hinge that much of the latter action pivots on. Gray Horse leads Ledbetter's unit on a wild chase into a land where there is no water. The chief thinks he has destroyed the enemy only to find the new enemy is invincible Even after the white government turns white hunters loose to slaughter the buffalo for their hides, does Gray Horse fail to acknowledge that the only hope for his people lies in going to Oklahoma Reservation where the Quakers will rule them. At Adobe Walls, the Comanche leader begins to glimpse the truth when a few buffalo hunters with their rifles that can kill at over a mile, turns back a gathering of the Indian nation. General Mackenzie's rout of Comanches at their winter quarters in Palo Duro Canyon makes Gray Horse realize the end is near. Gray Horse goes to the hated reservation a wounded and beaten warrior to shed his buffalo robes and become a cattle raiser. He realizes he must make one last try to find the red buffalo calf after he finds his wife with their son who is dying because of poor living conditions. Taking a band of warriors, he goes in search of the mystical calf. After he and his men brutally slaughter a group of buffalo killers, Gray Horse realizes his dreams of being free are over. After finding the red buffalo calf, the warriors kill it and eat it! To him, a way of life ends. Out numbered by the buffalo soldiers who come to punish the Comanche band for slaughtering the buffalo hunters, Gray Horse makes a suicidal attack on Sergeant Ledbetter's unit. Even though the Indian's arrow goes through Ledbetter's shoulder, he is able to fire the final shot that brings an end to his enemy. Like the end of a Greek epic, the defeated Indian is carried off on a symbolic shield to be given a hero's funeral. Ledbetter recovers from his wound so he can fight a new enemy, the Apaches. And I hope he eventually finds Hannah, nurses her back to health, and goes into retirement to live on a small farm and raise a family. END

A winner.
A buffalo soldier fresh out of slavery tries to enslave the free Indians of West Texas. While you read this book try to find out why. It doesn't make sense, but it makes a good story. Try my novel by searching butler, luthe

Delightful
"WHITE WOLF", my favorite of Susan Edwards popular White series, pulled at my heart strings. Susan has a great flare for bringing her characters vividly alive so you feel a part of the story. The rugged Oregon trail had you sweating and your feet hurting as you walk behind the wagons. Yet, the picturesque landscape catches your breath. Jessie, my favorite character, had me chuckling at her antics as she imitated a boy. This character gave a twist to a romance out of the ordinary. I highly recommend Ms. Edward's "White Series", a reading experience you'll thoroughly enjoy.

Exciting story
The story of White Wolf leading the wagon train to Oregon touches every emotion. Susan Edwards weaves a beautiful story in a book that is hard to put down once begun.

EXCELLENT BOOK LOVED IT
I REALLY ENJOYED THE BOOK I WISH YOUR BOOK ABOUT STRIKING THUNDER WOULD COME OUT SOONER THAN YEAR 2000 !
