It's easy to miss this gem
This is the most practical grammar book I have found and I have purchased a number of titles. The book is comprehensive with just the right level of detail. There are a few popular grammar books I also liked such as Woe Is I and Sin and Syntax but they not a reference titles. A number of "Grammer" books that I purchased turned out to be more about style than grammar. At first I overlooked this book because it didn't have a review and it was so cheap. After buying a number of more expensive titles I wish I would have just bought this one.

A Scary Postwar Scenario
This is a gripping adventure speculating on what might have been, or perhaps already is!

What if Adolph Hitler had a son? What if he was spirited away as Berlin was falling? What if a powerful group of ex-Nazi officers was gathered in Argentina looking to resurrect the Third Reich? What if Hitler's son fell among these die-hards?

The writing draws the reader into the story, but the mood is ambiguous. Do we want the boy to survive to manhood or be put away as U.S. intellicence officers prefer?

Strong character delevelopment and well-documented, this is a worthwhile book for any interested in the end of World War II and its aftermath. The feeling of the expatriot Nazi community in South America seems particularly realistic.

My only criticism is that I found the ending hard to swallow. Others, however, may find it inevitable. But this makes for a well-told tale that is worth mulling over.

Blood Son by Donald Webster
Blood Son is a terrific read. Webster has taken a nightmare,the resurgence of the Third Reich, and made it plausible. He takes the reader right into Hitler's Bunker as the Russians are taking Berlin and aactually engenders empathy for the beleagured Nazis. Hitler has entrusted his and Eva Braun's son, Frederick,to two of his trusted subordinates and wants him taken to safety. Ernst Brunner and Hitler's friend and secretary Greta make a hair-raising trip out of Berlin to South America with the boy. Webster's characterization is so skillfully handled that the reader finds himself rooting forthe trio but, by the end of the novel, ardently hoping for Brunner's defeat. The reader, after the exciting climax, is taken several years into the future and finds out what has become of the characters--to a point. There remains the question of Frederick's future. What will he do next? Webster also retires one of the most likeable sleuths in fiction, Adrian Drum. One can only hope that there willbe a sequel, Adrian will come out of retirement, and there will follow further adventures of Frederick. In addition to being a first-rate story, Blood Son is a pleasure to read in terms of style.

Not as fun as the KISS books...
If you are looking for just a small handy reference for over 5,000 computer terms, this is easy to use. If you are more into surfing, then you might want to pick up the KISS Guide to the Internet or any of their computer books.

This is just basically a dictionary wtih computer terms and
nothing fancy.

The best general computer science dictionary on the market.
The fifth edition is now old (1994). However, a new edition is due out September, 1997. I own about 10 or so general "computer dictionaries." When I look up terms in Webster's, they are usually listed. However, when I search in the other dictionaries, the terms are usually NOT listed. Unfortunately, this book does not enjoy the widespread readership it deserves. I hope more distributers will carry and promote this reference book. After all, computer science is a major industry and major component of our infrastructure in the USA. I have been a computer programmer and now work as a senior software/systems engineer. I have been in the field of computer science for 17 years.
