The Healer
Iread this novel 22 years ago and loved it. If you love freedom
and sci-fi you've got to read this book. And if you're a gun nut
you'll love the shotgun Steve and Pard use in the ending; and the planet Flint!

Wonderful, pure escapism!
I first read this book some 20 years ago, and it has haunted me ever since. I truely wonderful bit of sci-fi spanning time, space and mortality. Whilst it was in my possession I read it many many times, but made the unfortunate mistake of lending it to someone, never to see it again. Some time later I discovered the LaNague chronicles (encapsulating "Healer") and got the book. Whilst Healer remains my all time favorite, LaNague is almost as good a read. Should anyone know of or have contact with Mr F Paul Wilson, would they extend my thanks, and plead with him on my behalf to put pen to paper (or fingers to key-board) and produce further "Steve & pard" novels, as there is far to much meat on this bone to let them off travelling the universe and time in just one book!

A good read
I read this book when I was young and still read it every few years to relive the magic. About a man who finds immortality unexpectantly, and then has to figure out what to do with it and how to fit in socially through time when nobody knows what he has. The climax is a bit lame, but this doesn't detract from a brilliant read.

Attractive, engaging, informative, beautifully produced.
Gillian Wilson is the curator of decorative arts at the Getty Museum and draws upon her considerable expertise to provide an informative, authoritative commentary on each of thirty-two objects, ranging from 1665 to 1785, selected from the Getty Museum collection, and showcased in this beautiful survey including the marks, provenance, exhibitions, and publications of each piece. Superb color and b/w photography wonderfully illustrates each piece. Mounted Oriental Porcelain In The J. Paul Getty Museum is an attractive, engaging, and beautifully produced volume that would grace any personal, academic, or community library artbook collection.
