Steve Brown, has done it again. Writing the second book in the Everlasting series of Role Playing Games. Following up with his award winning Book of the Undead, Steve has written a much needed counter to the darkness found in the first installment. In the Book of The Light. We are introduced to the various creatures of the light, or essentially good beings. Players now have the choice of playing such character types as Angels, Questers, and Daevas. Angels of course being the messengers from heaven, are available to the players in several forms, include the Exhusai or Angels of Death and the Cherubs. Questers are brave men and woman who have devoted their life to a cause, and because of this devotion, they are granted immortality and can leave through the century's striving to fulfill their goal. Daevas , are demi gods and goddess. Immortals who have at one time , might have been worshiped by the Greeks or the Norse. The Book of the Light is a stand alone, and a supplement. If you are new to the Everlasting world, you can use this book to get you started. I highly recommend that anyone who is interested in gaming, that is not gothic to the extreme like Vampire or Were Wolf. Then this is for you.

Compared with Steven's Unix Network Programming, this book is more simply and clearly written. Not like Steven who is an expert in explaining details, Comer is good at giving a sound explanation of the network programming principle both in theory and in practice. You will find nice "Algorithm" part in many of the examples which is a good abstraction of the general problem. So after the reading you will feel comfortable because of the gain in not only knowledge but also the kind of insight you could use toward other problems. As a distinguished professor in computer science, Comer spells out the single word of engineering ,"Simplicity is beauty", again by presenting this clearly written TCP/IP programming book.
Also some most exciting stuff like RTP (realtime transport protocol), Web server programming models are also included in this latest edition of his Vol 3. And as you expected, the full source code of all the chapters is available online.
