Good reading.......2007-01-06

The books written by WEB Griffin are good reading and enjoyable. They have kept my interest and look forward to the next book everytime I end reading one. I spent several years in the Corps and come from a family of Marines so these book certainly keep my interest.

The Corps series continues.......2005-10-04

I've read all the WEB Griffin novels several times. The Corps series is the best although the Argentina series (Honor Bound) is close. The best novel standing alone is the first one, Semper Fi. The next two or three are an obvious series and do not stand alone as well. They all provide insights that straight history may overlook. Griffin knows some of these people. He served in Korea so the later Korea series gains authenticity. Some object to the progression of Corporal McCoy to McCoy the super linguist. There is a touch of the comic book to some of his exploits but this is fiction. The story of the Inchon landing in Under Fire is true. The story told in Behind the Lines is true. I have a copy of Eric Feldt's book about the Coastwatchers. That was true. Griffin is the best source for military culture in fiction. His details are accurate. Maybe the Magic intercepts weren't quite as complete as he tells us they were but that was all based on truth and he brings it to life. If you are interested in World War II in the Pacific, these books are indispensible. The only thing that touches them is Once an Eagle.

A Marine never leaves anyone behind.......2004-09-23

This book is all about the Marine code of never leaving anyone behind. Fleming Pickering puts together a team to pull two of their men off a tropical island. They have been left there for quite some time in order to be part of the Coast Watchers that were placed throughout the South Pacific. Their purpose was to keep an eye on what the Japanese were doing in order to maintain the US position in Guadalcanal. The thing I really like about these books is the characters that Griffin has portrayed. I feel like I know each and every one of them. I like the history lesson about the war in the Pacific as well. I have to admit - I am hooked on this series.

A Waste of Time.......2003-01-14

I picked up these books hoping to gain some insight into the actions of the Marine Corps in the Pacific during World War II. What I found instead was a sort of soap opera that rambles on for hundreds of pages without getting around to much actual fighting. For example, The Marines don't even get to Guadalcanal (their first major offensive) until the end of book III, some 1200 pages into the story. Those 1200 intervening pages are mostly conversations (ad nauseam) between stateside Marine Corps officers as they sit around headquarters, or go out on the town chasing skirts.

The small portion of the books that is devoted to actual battles is done in such a cursory fashion that you're left with the impression that the author either finds this aspect of the Marines' mission distasteful, or doesn't understand it well enough to write about it. Mr. Griffin could have deleted about 80% of his material, and would have ended up with better books, albeit still not good ones.

If you're the sort of person who likes to watch daytime soap operas, then you may enjoy these books. If, on the other hand, you're interested in military history, the banality of these books will leave you screaming in frustration.

A very excellent, interest keeping book.......2000-04-13

I'm current reading Line Of Fire and I'm almost done with it and I think its really great I've never had a military book go into such detail, well I take that back this one and one other book I've read has gone in as much detail as this. I really love the way W.E.B. Griffin writes he's really good and I'm gonna read more of his books. I hope those who like stuff on the military (esp., the Corps like myself), will look into the books by W.E.B. Griffon, cause he writes really good.

Book Description

Daisy Perika has no place in the modern world of cold, rational science. Hers is the realm of the spirit -- of ancient and sacred magic. But visions of Coyote and fire have awakened the aged Ute shaman once again to the Dark One's workings among the whites of southwestern Colorado.

For Granite Creek police chief Scott Parris, the late-night murder of a brilliant female graduate student is a brutal and baffling as anything he encountered during his years as a Chicago cop. Now the investigation is leading Parris into worlds he has never known -- and toward a remarkable alliance with a beautiful journalist and an elderly Native American mystic that could prove both enlightening...and deadly.

Customer Reviews:

A Compelling Series.......2007-09-09

Wonderful justoposition of Indian metaphysics (what we in the Western world call "occult," but only because we haven't scientific instruments to measure) and the white world. Nice character development with Pariss, the Chicago cop come to the Southwest who has learned to act on his emotional nudges, the elderly Daisy who interacts with The Dwarf, Charlie Moon with a foot in both the Anglo culture and grudging awareness of the other world of his Ute upbringing, Anne the investigative reporter, and Pariss and Charlie's growing friendship. A wonderful continuing series. Read in chronological order -- though each book is complete within itself, characters are introduced and grow.

But read only if you are willing to suspend disbelief about the mental-spiritual world.

Nice to have on your bookshelf with Tony Hillerman and Peter Bowen.

Too much X-Files.......2006-03-22

Remember when there was an X-file? So does Doss. At least in the first [and worst to my limited reading] of a long series of books. I would not actually suggest reading this mediocre series unless you are 1. desperate for another Hillerman [and this series is so tangential to Hillerman's rational, occasionally elegant series that questions get begged] 2. just love the southwest no matter what and need a fix 3. just desperate for a book to read. If any of these conditions apply to you then I further suggest that you DO NOT start with Shamans Sings since it is almost irrational, but one further into the series where the bad guy didn't do it because he hears voices! Yes, incredible but true! Kinda sad when you think about it. And Charlie Moon begins to take over the action from a totally blah and uninteresting Scott Parris [that's two rs!]. Charlie ain't much but he's more! At least his inherent dishonesty will keep you guessing.

Dossn't deliver.......2003-09-30

Apparently, I have a divergent point of view from the other folks. Being a Tony Hillerman junkie, I was, of course, thrilled to see this author being compared with Hillerman on the back of the book. I was disappointed in the quality of the writing, however. Where to start? The dialog seemed pretty stilted to me. People I know don't talk like this. The relationship between the cop and the newswoman seemed to drift into a higher level of intimacy, seemingly without any development. I always wonder when authors have characters calling each other "Dear" or "Darling" practically right after they've met. And what was he doing, taking a woman he'd just met on a dangerous homicide investigation?

The loop to visit Chester (or Buster, take your pick) seemed to stand by itself with very a tenuous connection to the story. I could go on, but won't. I also won't read any more of these, and I'm sorry, because I really need a Hillerman fix. I'll have to wait for Tony's next for that.

Doss is the Boss!.......2003-04-23

I picked up this book, Doss' first in this mystery series, at a book swap and I'm going on book series number three. I was instantly captivated by this author's writing style. His vivid descriptions of the first crime scene at the beginning of this book had me up at night losing sleep (a compliment). I could not wait to dive into the next book. As a native of New Mexico, I traveled extensively to Colorado so I can say from firsthand knowledge that Doss' depictions of the scenery and setting as well as characters were so vivid and real. Best reading I've done in a looooong time!!

verdaeni on 'the shaman sings'.......2003-01-22

This is a great book for people that like some humor with their mysteries. Although the titles of this series sound like the shaman is going to be the main protagonist, it doesn't work that way. There is a very humorous interaction between Charlie Moon, of the Tribal Police, who doesn't believe in magic, and his Grandmother who pretends she doesn't when around the priest but who sneaks out to confer with the local landspirit, a type of dwarf. The mystery is well thought out and kept interesting by the complex (but not TOO complex) characters. Of great importantce to me is that the characters also act within their characterization and motivations. This is a particular joy in this book where Charlie and his Grandmother are often working at cross purposes motive wize and a delightful weave of information back and forth as you move towards the ending. The grandmother in particular is sort of a ute 'maxine' with never a good word to say and a hillarious lineup of grumbles and mumbled complaints.

Book Description

Crack at Dusk: Crook of Dawn (Two Canoes Press, 2000), the third novel in The Winona Trilogy, (Winona's Web, Compass of the Heart) continues to explore the deep divide between the modern psychological view of life and the traditional Lakota (Sioux) spiritual perspective, following the same characters: Dr. Meggie O'Connor, the psychologist and Hawk, the Lakota medicine teacher. In Crack at Dusk: Crook of Dawn, the two lovers marry but soon find their relationship sorely tested by the addition of an emotionally disturbed boy, Winona's grandson, who has been violently exposed to the forces of evil. Hawk argues that the boy's soul has been stolen, thus requiring special ceremonies. Meggie is adamant that the boy is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and needs hospitalization. Together the two of them must find - through love, ritual, and story - the way into the boy's heart to bring him back home. An affirmative, healing story, Crack at Dusk: Crook of Dawn provides an uncompromising view of the contaminating nature of evil and the path back to wholeness.

Courageous, healing tale -- if you can handle it.......2005-12-26

I thoroughly enjoyed Priscilla Cogan's first two novels in the Meggie O'Connor series. When I read some of the reader reviews of Crack at Dusk Crook of Dawn I was put off but determined to judge for myself whether it was a worthy successor to the other two novels. The first, Winona's Way, dealt with "Good Spirits." The second, Compass of the Heart, with "Trickster Spirits" and this third with "Evil Spirits" -- at least from the perspective of the Lakota. Cogan has successfully woven the strands of her story together so that the reader is drawn into a tale about the nature of good and evil. The issue of satanic ritual abuse is included with some graphic detail that will (and should) make readers uncomfortable. But as one of my teachers has said, we must continue holding up the light despite the scary and ugly things it illuminates. Cogan drives that point home. A worthy read, but only if you dare face your own shadow -- and those of others.

The experience of life's reality.......2002-07-06

I read a few reviews and was tempted not to buy this book because of the negative feedback. I am glad I changed my mind because I am glad to have completed the ongoing story of Meggie and Hawk. It gave me quite a bit to think about with the story line of ritualist abuse. I did not find it offensive, I found it informative and it brought out love for a human being who overcame personal tragedy. I especially enjoyed how the contiuation of the Lakota ways were always there. It also brought in a lot of thought about other belief systems. The story is one of courage, hope, and faith. The love of a child and the ways of the spirts, helped Hawk to be strong and determined even when no one else believed in him. Meggie's unconditional understanding and her fears made the story believable. I recommend this book to anyone who has read the first two novels. You'd be missing out of a great story based on reality in fiction.

The Path takes the next step..........2002-05-27

In this book Priscilla continues her way of making us feel at ease with not just Christianity working together with the tribalism from the previous book, but she goes on to build it up with Judaism as well.
In times like these it is utterly important with tolerance and respect for eachothers views of life.

She brings in the enemy as well however, but she gives the enemy a very distinct face in this case. I do think it works, but it could have been a very dangerous path for her to go down as the author she is.
A Satanic sect is her choice of evil for this book and therefor it is dangerous as well, since it is also a religion - Priscilla seams to be giving her best at broadening the reader's tolerance for religion and it's different faces. Therefor I think it is dangerous for her to go down this path, where she has singled out one particular religion to be the bad guy, I can only hope that her readers are ready for it.

It's a detailed story and I think this might be the chance of a life-time offered for an outsider to step into the mind of a child in this position. It might be horrifying for some, if not all of us, but it serves the point well.
She describes the western pshychological ways of working realistically as well, but with something for me, important - I didn't get too upset with their ways, for it hits close to home knowing how difficult it can be to the next of kin of the patient.

Hmm... Excellent writing, very tough subject.......2002-03-05

As with Ms. Cogan's first two captivating books, I read Crack at Dusk Crook of Dawn in one sitting. Although brilliantly written, the subject matter of extreme child abuse by a satanic cult is spelled out in full stomach-turning, heart-pounding detail (something I was unprepared for, and quite a deviation from her other writings). The path taken to heal the child is equally realistic, and although inspiring, did not balance for me the too-gruesome focus of the story...

the other side to healing :using the Red Road.......2001-08-06

Tackling the subject of childhood abuse from any perspective can be a difficult task, but Ms. Cogan takes the reader into the inner workings of the slow grueling steps that often accompany healing from such a trauma. She dares the reader to walk in the steps of a child who has to peel away the layers of damage caused by abuse. Using the power of the Red Road and telling the story of what happens through the eyes and soul of the victim, Ms. Cogan illustrates the truth behind what it takes to heal from the things locked within the psychy. I thank Ms. Cogan for undertaking such a difficult subject for it hits very close to home. Being a survivor, I have used the Red Road and am learning that telling the story opens the door to true healing. She presents with fact the effectiveness of how the Red Road is a powerful tool in everyday life, but can also aid in healing. I would encourage anyone to read this book to see through the eyes of the victim as well as the healer.

Legendary Tale of Mediocrity.......2007-06-08

I just finished this saga, I have read four others (Njal's Saga, Eyrbyggja Saga, Erik's Saga, Jomsvikings Saga) and it is far shorter than any of those. It boasts of it's legendary people, even of its "knights" and all I kept thinking was Hrolf isn't as much Beowulf as the introduction lends, but as King Arthur. His champions reminded me much of the Knights of the round table, except Bodvar's and Hott's (Hjalti) story which had me riveted. Their tale of being had me going but the other parts seemed to putter along without the cold breeze of wonder and excitement that previous sagas had on me. It reads in the scriber's own day and time and not in the time that the actual events fictiously happened in. The scriber didn't take me back into a frozen wonderland of mystery, vast journeys and people with heart and soul. This is my least favorite saga I've read, but like other reviewers have said, it has a kind of charm that makes you want to see the end of it all. Love it or hate it its only 79 pages of your life and its still worth a read.

An Essential Nordic Legend.......2006-08-22

The mythology and legends of a people portray their philosophy, ideals, morality, and character. This saga takes place mainly in pre-Christian Scandinavia, and is a testament to the heroic nature, and high standards of personal honor idealized by the cultures of Northern Europe. The central character is King Hrolf Kraki, a Danish warrior-king of great status in his region. As is common in most Scandinavian Sagas, the story starts with the ancestors in previous generations, describing how the main characters came to be in the significant circumstances of the narrative. The saga contains the exploits of numerous people, good and evil, noble or corrupt, whose actions result in the plight of the primary heros. It is through the tale of one of these main characters, Bodvar, that we have an insight into the Heroic Ideal of ancient pre-Christian Scandinavians:
Bodvar was a warrior of abnormal strength and courage. He was one of three exceptional brothers, all born with abnormal supernatural attributes due to a spell upon their parents at the hands of an evil sorceress-queen. Bodvar went forth to become a warrior in the service of King Hrolf Kraki. At the court, he found that the favored means of entertainment by the king's champions, was to hurl bones at a week, clownish and pathetic man named Hot. They forced him nightly to sit in the bone-pile, where he was frequently injured by this abusive hazing. Bodvar's sensibilities are outraged by this vile behavior against a defensless person. The champions are mostly a clique of loud-mouthed braggarts. Bodvar enters the hall, speaking to no one. His first action, is to drag Hot out of the bone-pile, and sit him on the bench next to him. All the king's champions are outraged by this audacity, and after some tense silence and hard stares, one of them acquires the nerve to throw a large ox bone at Bodvar. Bodvar catches it, and hurls it right back at the instigator, killing him outright. At this point, the king inquires as to who he is, why he is there. After introductions, Bodvar is welcomed into the king's service. Bodvar retains Hot as a sidekick.
Later on, it has come the time of year when a monster makes his annual visit to kill and eat one of the king's warriors (echos of Beowulf). Bodvar takes Hot out to find this monster, and he kills it outright. Hot, being very mortal, is terrified. Bodvar forces Hot to drink the monster's blood, and then gives him arms, and trains him to fight. Hot undergoes a transformation. At the hall, king Hrolf renames him Hjalti the magnanimous. Together, Bodvar and Hjalti eventually kill off the remaining thugs in the king's service, and recruit better men to serve the king.
This, to me, is the measure of a true hero. A hero can not abide dishonorable behavior, and takes a stand against it. He helps a weak person to be strong, and doing so, creates yet another hero.

Exciting reading.......2005-06-29

This is an excellent translation of an interesting Viking saga that has many parallels with Beowulf. The original author of this saga is unknown. It tells the story of King Hrolf Kraki's family and how he became king. There are also tales about his champions, their families and how they came to be in the service of Hrolf. This is one of the shorter sagas, only 77 pages, and reads easily. The story is filled with battles, sorcery, greed and deception. There is also an excellent introduction and notes section at the end of the book.

A MUST READ for any fan of medieval history........2003-02-06

Author, Jesse Byock, is considered the world's leading expert on the vikings. This new translation of the Norse epic brings clear a tale that is very similar to the story of Beowulf---however, it is told from the Norse point of view.

This is a MUST READ for anyone interested in the Vikings .

Interesting and Distinctive Saga.......2002-11-09

This is an interesting saga featuring semi-legendary Norse characters. It is presented and translated by the distinguished scholar of Icelandic history, Jesse Byock. The saga is a series of linked tales related to the life of the legendary Danish monarch, Hrolf Hraki. It is an example of a form of Icelandic saga based on the legendary or semi-legendary Norse past rather that the family or historical basis of many well known Icelandic sagas. This saga is drawn from the same stock of legends and characters used by the Beowulf poet. The stories are definitely interesting, the translation reads well, and Byock's introduction and notes are excellent. Nonetheless, this saga is of greater intellectual than artistic interest. Unlike Beowulf, this is a compilation of tales, not a unified poetic work. While the tales are good reading, this saga lacks the focus and poetic majesty of Beowulf. This saga lacks also the intensely realistic qualities of the family sagas and the unity derived from concentration on a few characters. This book is short, reads smoothly and is well worth the time expended on reading it.

Great telling of myth.......2007-01-13

If you can read translated myths then you can read this book. That statement is a warning as this book is not an easy read, but it is a worthwhile read. The book IS NOT fantesy, as fantesy is completely created by the author. Rather this book is a retelling of the existing myth. I find it interesting that what seems to be the downfall of many a hero, is that they forget to worship the old gods. Effectively a mythological warning.

A myth well re-told........2002-08-11

Poul Anderson took the Viking saga of Hrolf Kraki and crafted this magnificent fantasy novel from the legendary king's story. Hrolf was a sort of Arthurian equivalent of the northern folk tales and myths, but Anderson brought him to life in this novelized retelling of his exploits. Like much of northern mythology the story is dark in spots, dealing with such items as murderous sibling rivalry, incestuous relationships, and the common every day brutality that must have been common in the era that was rightly called "the Dark Ages". Even so, Anderson captured the heroic nature of the story, as well as the courageous outlook of the original saga recorders.

The story is a myth retold, rather than historical fiction, although the opening framework sequence is set in historical times with a woman being asked to recount the old myths to a royal gathering during a feast time. Anderson also pens a good introduction which gives some of the historical and legendary background to the tale. Tales, rather, as the saga is actually a series of stories about several of the warriors who end up in the service of Hrolf. A final battle and glorious defeat mark the end of the story. Like much of Northern mythology there is courage and hope even in the face of tragedy and loss. The parallels to some of Arthurian legend seemed rather marked to me, and made me want to go back and reread some of those tales.

In my mind this is what the best books do, they plant a seed which makes you want to read more. At his best, (and HROLF KRAKI is one of his best) Anderson does this. I've listed below some of his other books that are similar to HROLF KRAKI'S SAGA.

Anderson was probably best know for his great science fiction, but he penned several fantasies and historical romances set in the Viking era and world. Besides HROLF KRAKI'S SAGA, I would also highly recommend THE BROKEN SWORD, THREE HEARTS AND THREE LIONS, THE KINGS OF YS, MOTHER OF KINGS, SIGN OF THE RAVEN, THE GOLDEN SLAVE, THE GOLDEN HORN, ROAD OF THE SEA HORSE, WAR OF THE GODS, THE MERMAN'S CHILDREN, THE DEMON OF SCATTERY (co-authored with Mildred Downey Broxon) and even THE HIGH CRUSADE (a science fiction story, but one in which medieval knights are captured by an advanced alien civilization, but turn the tables on their captors). Several of these books are still in print, while some others are out of print, but all are worth finding and reading. Let me restate "Highly recommended".

Highly Recommended.......1999-05-14

It took me a little while to find a copy of this book but it was well worth the wait. This story is a dark, fatalistic and ultimately moving retelling of the legend of the Scandinavian king, Hrolf Kraki. I highly recommend this work to those interested in Nordic culture as well as fans of fantasy.

Wonderful tale from pre-Christian northern Europe.......1999-01-10

In the tradition of high fantasy and magic, Poul Anderson here presents the translated tale of the heathen Danish king, Hrolf Kraki, a sort of pagan King Arthur. In the dark days of the very earliest middle ages (around the time of Beowulf), we find Hrolf king of a small Norse kingdom in what is today part of modern Denmark. Lord of the ancestors of the modern Danes, this unprepossessing ruler of men gathers about him the heroes of his day (or so legend apparently had it) and creates a brief golden age in a violent time. But Hrolf is star-crossed, the product of an unfortunate liaison between unhappy lovers (he is both son and brother to his mother) and scion of a family of violent and bloody strivers, a hero who, in the end, must defend all he has against the predations of his kin. In the process he has numerous adventures, confronts dark magic and builds a court of war-like champions. It's an episodic story which largely tracks the original saga itself (since another version, translated by the scholar Gwyn Jones, is almost the same although somewhat briefer). But it's a nicely told, fast-paced tale and, if Anderson translated it himself, he did a great job of it, turning it into a book in the genre of modern fantasy. Worth the read for anyone who likes fantasy . . . or sagas. -- Stuart W. MirskyThe King of Vinland's Saga
