His run on the book, is still one of my favorite runs on any comic, past or present. The book also describes in excellent detail, the work of another landmark artist to work on Wonder Woman, Mike Deodato. Whose Wonder Woman was polished stylized and helped to update her look yet again, showing fans a new side to the character. The work that painter Alex Ross has done on Wonder Woman is amazing. You can see the Linda Carter influenece in how he paints her. Kindom Come, the book Ross did about aged DC heroes, showed Wonder Woman as eternally honorable, beautiful, strong and willfull character.This series made her a more enjoyable character. Even though I can honstly say I'm not a hardcore Wonder Woman fan, this book was excellent to help fill in the gaps in the character's history that to this point I did not know.

I recoomend this book, or any of it's counterparts to those who are interested in the myths and legends of some of this countries most eduring icons. I sincerely give my highest recommendations to this book.

On the plus side, this novel features great action scenes, a decent grasp of physics, and a really likeable main character. Unlike so many other books, it hints at past history among characters without fulling spelling out the details - I got the impression that Moran knew a lot more about his characters than was revealed here. Trent, the failed telepath turned WebDancer [hacker], is a lovable wise-ass who has to abandon the girl he loves in order to save both their hides. The title refers to his prolonged escape flight across the inner solar system.

As another reviewer said, you should read "Emerald Eyes" first. It's such a lousy novel that I almost hesitate to recommend the series. Get a friend to tell you the plot of "Emerald Eyes", and then enjoy reading this one.

The tone of this book reminded me of that Coen Bros. film "O Brother Where Art Thou". Not quite Southern Gothic, but enough folklore/folk belief thrown in that you get a great sense of the mentality of that part of the country during a specific moment in time. Highly recommended.

Daniel Keys Moran is an insightful and creative storyteller who combines a beautifully detailed universe with a hard, gritty, fast paced future filled with political, societal, and technological uncertainties and dilemmas.

Moran's style of writing satifies the classic SciFi fan while it entertains and enthuses those with the borderline post apocalyptic bent of Blade Runner and the Cyberpunk genres.

_The_Last_Dancer_ is the fourth book in the Continuing Time saga falling in line a couple years after the events of _The_Long_Run_ (a masterful piece ISBN 0-553-28144-5).

The story details the events in the life of Denice Castanaveras, a genetically engineered telepath and daughter of the notorious David Castanaveras (_Emerald_Eyes_). It is 2076, 14 years after she was believed to have been murdered in the massacre of "genies".

The TriCentennial Fourth of July is approaching in an occupied America held together by the iron rule of the French led UN. Denice finds herself poised to alter the events of the burgeoning rebellion, and the only person able to halt or help the ambitions of the mysterious and charismatic Reb leader Sedon.

Having been a great fan of Dan's work and gone to extreme lengths to obtain copies of all his works, I can honestly say that The Last Dancer (tLD) was a great book! It was poignant story filled with love, hope and in some places, humour.

This ongoing story of the last of the Castanavera's children is another riveting read in the detailed world crafted by Dan which many of us have found and love.

I wholeheartedly recommend not only this book, but the entire Continuing Time Series (if you can find them all!) to anyone who loves GOOD Sci-Fi!!

To my mind, the success of a book is shown in how available it is in second hand shops. I know from experience how hard it is to find Dan's books secondhand! Everyone who has read them, refuses to part with them! I have to fight to get mine back when I lend them to friends... What better recommendation than that can you ask for?

The characters are a blend of purpose and psychosis. Andrea is downright scary, irreverent, yet oddly maternal-perhaps fiercely maternal? I would not want to catch her in a dark alley in a bad mood. The description of her cutting the Cor Hunter's throat is chilling-although strangely just. Her chance encounter with Cor Hunter's children is a sobering comment on the violence that had forever change her life.

Far from predictable, the plot carefully prepares the reader for twists yet to come in rest of the trilogy. I can't wait to find out what happens to the sympathetic although often cruelly pragmatic K'Rin. Will Andrea's only ally, H'Roo-Parh, reconcile after he rebukes her for her brutality. Will the clone Tara get tough and do what she needs to do? Will Brigon, sort of a clone bandit, leave the wilderness to join the resistance? Will Andrea's rage go over the edge to insanity? I see hints that Andrea and Brigon's rocky start portends a deeper interest.

The treatment of clone technology is accurate and troubling. The Quazel Protein operates much like the protein that causes mad cow disease. Where do Dawson and Graham get their material? I checked their reference to the stranger-than-fiction Bat Flower--origin India, Earth. It's real.

All in all, this book is a must read for anyone who wants a page-turner that makes you think.

This book was fabulous! I really didn't know what to expect, since the back cover is kind of vague, but what a wonderful surprise it was to find myself immersed in a truly gripping story of heartbreak, betrayal, acceptance, friendship, love, vengeance, secrets, lies, and loyalty. There are also some key points of humor, and plenty of tense and exciting action. Andrea's story is not as cut and dry as you might imagine in the beginning, and the plot twists and secrets that are revealed along the way make for a wonderful page-turner that teases the mind and leaves you begging for more.

The world building was wonderful, and the characters were rich and multidimensional. There were times when I really wondered, who were the good guys and who were the bad guys? ... and I'm still wondering about some of them, even at the end of the second book (Tenebrea's Hope), which was just as amazing as the first. The plot is woven together with such expertise that I was doomed to read the entire book in one sitting, never once having to skim over a dull spot ... and that is very rare indeed. I highly, highly recommend this book!

The main character, Andrea Flores, will no doubt become the female counter part to Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan. Fans will be eagerly waiting for the next book to enjoy her exploits. Her quest for revenge over the murder of her family plunges her in to an intergalactic war. Admiral Hal'Rin, himself an interesting alien character and father like figure to Andrea Flores, trains her in the special operations that is at the core of this noval. Her exploits are simply thrilling. How any learned reader and conisuer of quality science fiction could rate "Entering Tenebbrea" as anythng other than exceptional "five star" quality science fiction is hard to imagine. The writng is incredibly good. Don't miss this one folks. Treat yoursleves to the very best!

In part one aspects of brewing technique are covered with chapters on hitting target gravity, hop selection and utilization, malt profiles, and several other useful technical subjects.

In part two we are treated to 14 mini style books. History, techniques, and commercial examples relating to the styles are presented. Accompanying this information is Ray's unique presentation of the profiles of ingredients used in commercial and winning homebrew recipes. If you've ever asked "What really goes into a _____?" This is the place to look. Chapters also have sidebars that summarize the contents -- like the box at the end of each chapter that lists tips for successful brewing of the beer style.

This is a wonderful book I can't imagine not owning.

There is a boy named Peter Pan. He sprinkles fairy dust in Wendy and her two brothers. Then he shows them how to fly. He takes them to Neverland and shows them to the Lost Boys who live there. Wendy becomes their mother. She makes up rules, like any other mother would do. The boys have to follow these rules. Everything was fine until Captain Hook came with his crew to where the boys and Wendy were. While Wendy and the boys were at the lagoon, where they go every day after dinner, they see a girl named Tiger Lily, princess of her tribe. She was captured by Smee, one of Captain Hook's men. Then Peter saved her. A few days later Wendy and the boys were on their way to Wendy's house when they too were all captured by Captain Hook. Then Peter saves them. Then the lost boys, Wendy and her brothers go home. All except for Peter.

It is mostly about what the people in the book think is right with childhood. The kids in the book think that if you grow up it is bad, but in our case it is actually good.

Peter Pan is a violent book not really made for children under the age of 10 but people 10 and up can read it. It is violent because of the language that is spoken and the idea that killing could be fun. Also, the vocabulary is very difficult for children under 10 to understand. Even if you're older it is difficult to understand.

Overall, it is a good book but watch out for the violent ideas if you are reading it to little children.

It's difficult to know what to say about a book like this... everybody knows the story. But I guess that unless you've read this book (not just seen a movie or read a retelling), you don't really know the character Peter Pan, and without knowing the character, you don't really know the story. So read it.

By the way, if you enjoy this, you probably would also like "Sentimental Tommy" and its sequel "Tommy and Grizel", both by Barrie. There are differences (for one thing they're not fantasy), but there are also compelling similarities. Anybody who found Peter Pan a deep and slightly bittersweet book would be sure to enjoy them.

One of the best books any child, young or old, can read is Barrie's Peter Pan. Although written in the past century, it has something for any generation at any time. Its humorous views at the world from a child's mind left me rolling over the floor, laughing; the exciting storyline kept me busy with reading until the end; and the serious undertone made me think of whether the world wouldn't be a better place if we realised that deep down, however deep, we are in fact all children. So if YOU are a child, which you most certainly are, get yourself a copy and enjoy your ongoing childhood.
