Book Description
When The Far Pavilions was first published nineteen years ago, it moved the critic Edmund Fuller to write this: "Were Miss Kaye to produce no other book, The Far Pavilions might stand as a lasting accomplishment in a single work comparable to Margaret Mitchell's achievement in Gond With the Wind."
From its beginning in the foothills of the towering Himalayas, M.M. Kaye's masterwork is a vast, rich and vibrant tapestry of love and war that ranks with the greatest panoramic sagas of modern fiction.
The Far Pavilions is itself a Himalayan achievement, a book we hate to see come to an end. it is a passionate, triumphant story that excites us, fills us with joy, move us to tears, satisfies us deeply, and helps us remember just what it is we want most from a novel.

Happy Birthday, Mom.......2007-09-22
This review is purely a little tribute to my Mom, who would have been 76 today (9/21/2007).
My folks loved to read, and that rubbed off on me. I was surrounded by books in every room of the house, and I can't think of a better, more long-lasting gift for a parent to give a child. Books have made my life so beautiful in so many ways. I will always love and thank my parents both so much for that.
My Mom loved historical fiction above all other genres, especially Victorian and Raj tales. M.M. Kaye was one of her most cherished authors. The Far Pavilions must have been her favorite, because she had every book Kaye ever wrote, and The Far Pavilions was the one that seemed to show up now and then on the coffee table and on her nightstand, year after year. I guess she read it a number of times. I think she savored it like a fine wine, pulling it out every few years to see how the vintage was moving along. I saw her reading thousands of books when I was a kid, and this was one of the only ones that showed up repeatedly.
To be honest, it's not a genre I know much about, and I haven't read any Kaye at all (might be time!). But I know that if Mom were alive and was asked about her favorite books, The Far Pavilions would be at or near the top of the list. So, I just thought I'd share these thoughts, and maybe, if they have a good broadband connection in heaven, she'll read this and remember how much I loved her.
Happy Birthday, Mom.
Save for a vacation with lots of reading time.......2007-09-01
I have to agree with the others that this book is one of the best of its kind. I purchased it after reading the great reviews (thanks Amazon - found M.M. Kaye after Ordinary Princess recommended for my daughter - wonderful story). I had no particular interest in India but have much more so after reading this book. I just saw a picture of one of the regions where this takes place at the Afgan/India border on the cover of Newsweek - fascinating. I also recommend her other books (so far haven't read even a mediocre one). I'd also recommend BUYING her books so you can loan them to people. And lastly I'd save this for vacation or sometime when you know you'll be able to read it in chunks because you can just loose yourself in it and it's painful to put down (and end which I'm going to do today).
My favorite book of all time.......2007-08-21
I've been trying to get my bookclub to read this book but they're intimidated by the size. I've read this book at least 5 fives over the past 20 years and no other books comes close. It has everything a fabulous book needs - history, romance, intrigue, treachery and just a darn good story. It's one of those rare books which I wish I hadn't already read so that I good have the total joy of reading it again for the first time.
Transportation to a distant place and time.......2007-05-12
When I first got "The Far Pavilions" at the recommendation of a friend, I was doubtful that I'd enjoy a book set in colonial India. By book's end, I wanted to read nothing EXCEPT books about colonial India! Of course, I recovered from that syndrome, but the book continues to fascinate me and rewards re-reading. It is a marvelous and highly dramatic blend of history, romance, culture, as well as an examination of how very different cultures meet, clash, attempt to co-exist, and, very rarely, blend. I recommend the book highly, and in fact bought this copy as a gift, the highest recommendation of all!
excellent.......2007-01-05
This book was excellent. A lot of pages, but you could not put down. It
was better than the movie.

Customer Reviews:
Not too exciting.......2002-04-05
I sympathize with the author's idea of creating a book of photos and art that would show readers of her novel, The Far Pavilions, the images that inspired it. The novel is a classic set in India, but this picture book did not particularly help me visualize the scenes from the book. I think my own imagination, prior knowledge of India, and previous browsing of books and magazines portraying India created all the mental images I needed to interpret the novel. However, some people may really enjoy what the author compiled from her own files, which include both color and black and white photos and paintings of landscape and people. None of them are recent of course, the book having been published in 1979, and some of the images dating back as far as the 1800s.
Book Description
In rich, atmospheric mysteries set against the backdrop of modern-day Mississippi, Carolyn Haines has given the southern belle a brilliantly hip makeover. Now Haines and her unforgettable heroine, Sarah Booth Delaney, are back with a tale about skeletons in closets--and elsewhere.
Crossed Bones
Sarah Booth Delaney is no ordinary P.I. A born-and-bred Mississippi belle, she struggles to hold on to her family’s plantation and keeps up a running conversation with the ghost of her great-great-grandmother’s nanny, a busybody who decks herself out in a stunning new outfit every day--and schemes to save Sarah Booth from spinsterhood. Not one to wait around for a white knight, Sarah takes on the kind of cases no one else will touch. Like trying to exonerate a man accused of murdering Sunflower County’s most popular musician.
The two men met in prison: Ivory Keys, a gifted black blues pianist, and Scott Hampton, a rich white boy turned racist. Somewhere between the two men, a spark was lit. And by the time he came out of the joint, Scott Hampton had not only renounced his racist ways, he had learned to play a blues guitar that made grown women go weak in the knees. So why did Scott plunge a steel shank into his mentor’s chest? Ivory’s widow doesn’t think he did, and she’s paid Sarah Booth to prove it. No easy task, especially since the delicate racial harmony of Sunflower County is threatening to come undone under the heat of Sarah Booth’s investigation.
For a woman feeling a little heat of her own--navigating between a rich, available businessman, a married lawman with a waffling heart, and the sexy bluesman who is angling to become much more than her client--this case is taking dangerous twists. A town’s slumbering passions have awakened with a jolt, a matchmaking ghost is dressed up like Jackie O, and Sarah Booth is caught between her need to know the truth and the consequences it will have on her town--and on her life.
With riveting suspense and a sparkling cast of unforgettable characters, Carolyn Haines has woven a rich portrait of a part of America grappling with its past, its illusions, and its hopes.
Crossed Bones is the most dazzling work yet from a uniquely gifted writer.

Enough already.......2007-09-27
I have been a faithful reader Ms. Haines, but this time, she did not come through. The main character of the books, Sarah Booth Delaney, has turned out to be too much of a slut. In love with a married man!!! Where is the true Southern Belle, don't kiss and tell?? By the time Sarah drops her panties, and she drops them all the time, the whole town knows about it. Does Sarah have everyone in town on speed-dial? A southern lady - Sarah is not! I don't believe I can struggle through another book.
Series going downhill instead of up - pretty mediocre.......2007-09-02
Ugh, who cares about Sarah Booth at this point. Where is the mystery? These books can be figured out in nanoseconds. The author seems intent on creating her main character as a femme fatale. I don't buy it (though to my regret, I did buy this book.) Who else thinks it very unsexy that the main character is becoming hooked up with a married man?
Beyond that, the book was tiresome. How many times do we have to be told that the guitar man is sexy in order for us to believe it. Apparently, many more times that the author forced down our throat.
Mystery? As soon as the bikers showed up, I figured them for the murderers.
Weak, weak, plot. Characters are becoming card board and predictable. I'm sick of the author's gimmick of having her character be haunted by a black, ex-slave. Wouldn't the ghost have family members of her own? She is obsessed with her former owner's bloodline and has to ensure that it continues. Why? Who cares?
Tinkie continues to be the one bright spot in this lackluster series.
Fun, fast read.......2006-11-11
Just wonderfully enjoyable reading. This series is quirky (a ghost with a past we have yet to be told), a decaying but well loved southern mansion as background, and an otherwise regular woman, with hopes and dreams, foibles and strengths. Characters become less two dimentional as the series unfolds, but the situations continue to surprise. I like the weaving of the background stories, the southern culture (up to a point, the "daddy's girl" references and some of the female stereotypes are tedious and stop the flow of the story, but all in all a series to read, enjoy, if not to ponder deeply.
Best of the Series.......2004-10-20
I really enjoyed this entry in the Mississippi Delta series. It deals with a more serious subject than previous entries - that of a racism that is, unfortunately, still prevalant in some communities.
In this episode, P.I. Sarah Booth Delaney is asked by the widow of a murdered black blues musician to find out who really killed him as she doesn't think the man accused, a white formerly racist bluesman, is guilty.
Sarah Booth must deal with, among the normal problems an investigation brings, a town that is divided along racial lines due to the killing, a son of the murdered man who hates all white people, two biker friends of the accused (also racist), and, of course, Jitty, her house ghost. I must admit that I agree with one of the other reviewers that Jitty can be tiresome as she contradicts herself repeatedly and, for some reason, the author insists on describing her various outfits down to the smallest detail.
Also in the plot is some romance - Sarah Booth is in love with the married sheriff, she is falling in love with the accused, and she has a few dates with a rich northerner who is in town to buy the club that the murdered man owned.
I think that this book is the best of the series thus far - it seems to reach a new level of competence in its style of writing and tackles a very serious subject with sensitivity. For me, it was almost a 5-star book, and would have been even closer to 5 stars if Jitty had been dropped completely or been a smaller part of the book.
Will definitely be reading the next in the series, "Hallowed Bones."
Too much romance, too little mystery.......2004-04-26
And no wonder. Sarah Booth, our Mississippi broke-but-upper-class private investigator, has three romantic interests in this book: the sheriff, who is married; a wealthy businessman who is pursuing her; and a bad-boy blues musician who is charged with a vicious killing -- he's her client.
So -- although there was mystery at the beginning and mystery at the end, most of the middle seemed to be romance. If you like a lot of romance, you'll probably really like this book, but if you're more of a fan of mysteries, you may find all of Sarah Booth's dates and endless soul-searching about who is the man for her, etc. rather tedious after a while.
The plot involves racial tensions in the Mississippi delta town of Zinnia. A black man who owns a blues club has been viciously killed, and the white man who is the star musician in the club (they met in the penitentiary) is accused of killing him. The black man's wife hires Sarah Booth to prove that Scott the star musician didn't commit this murder. Scott has an unsavory past as a racist (not to mention the stretch behind bars) and he's belligerant and rude, but Sarah Booth comes to believe that he is indeed innocent and sets out to find the proof. The motive for this murder is the key to solving the crime, if she can only find out why he was killed.
Racial tensions are rising in Zinnia, and a lot of people are not happy that Sarah Booth has taken this case, so she is in some jeopardy herself. The dead man's son Emmanuel is convinced Scott killed his father and wants to see him convicted, but Emmanuel is a racist in his own right.
I really enjoyed Them Bones, so I picked up this book expecting to be equally delighted. I wasn't. As I said earlier, too much time spent on romances and too little on the mystery. This book could have been shortened by at least 50 pages and would have been improved. I think that the author needs to let the editor edit. I will try another of this author's mysteries to see if this book was the exception, or Them Bones was.

Book Description
Terror stalks the land of Ithlal. A great cosmic cycle is coming to an end, and the fate of all life is unknown as the fabric of reality comes undone and draws inward, to be recreated again.
In this time of approaching chaos, someone has unleashed a terrible force that is destroying the land itself, and which can prevent the rebirth. And in the vast forests of Cernwood, the Vordlai, hideous winged creatures, have awakened from a centuries-old sleep, craving mortal blood and flesh.
But the Land Spirit, the embodiment and Soul of all that is, will not willingly fade into oblivion. Its avatar has assembled a group of unlikely and unwilling heroes: an immortal who is half-human, a monk sworn to his vows, a reclusive forest dweller, a short tempered dwarf, and a young musical mage who unwittingly possesses a gemstone of unimaginable power. Together, they may be able to stop the growing darkness, but time is slipping away.

gripping.......2007-08-03
The story is gripping and very well constructed, I am looking forward to the second part and I hope Tim has it ready soon. The book could be reviewed better, there are some typos which I always find distracting. There are some cliches as well, but somehow they fit the story and it all works quite well together.
Good read and engaging characters........2002-01-09
Good characters and good first book for this writer. I was drawn into the cultures and personalities almost imediatly and his blending of mystism and magic is quite good.
I look forward to the sequal.
A refreshing change!.......2001-10-09
I love fantasy novels. They create the illusion that there are worlds out there that are more interesting than ours, more magical than our every day existence. However, from Tolkien on down, they do have a way of all falling into a pattern. A magical land is threatened by the resurrection of some ancient evil, and the heros embark upon some lengthy and difficult journey to set it right. I say heros not to be sexist, but because that's the way it is. Most of the characters are male, and what few women there are, with only a few exceptions, are either token females or loyal helpmates of the heros.
Tim Rayborn breaks this pattern - in fact, he breaks a lot of patterns. While the basic plot is still the same, most of this book departs in a very noticeable way from other fantasy novels. The women are as powerful and heroic as the men - and on some occasions even more so. The Great Master, called the Land Spirit, who sets the heroines on their way is a foppish dandy, powerful, but not all-powerful, more concerned with his clothes than with explaining to his people exactly what they're supposed to accomplish. At least one of the protagonists actually doesn't like him!
Each of the main characters possesses a very special skill which the others lack.. The first protagonist we meet is Dorinen, an impulsive but dedicated Diana-type archer, a lover of the forests, with a high level of intuition, whom the Master sets on her way. Dorinen is instructed to awaken Mylth, an immortal immersed in a hundred-year meditation possessing the wisdom of six hundred years of living. Mylth, another archer, is the character that doesn't like the Master! In a separate story line, we meet Andra, a female bard who possesses a strange violet jewel with immense powers that are activated when she plays her instruments. Her companion is a monk named Narcom whose knowledge of the martial arts is unsurpassed.
Eventually, the two couples join forces with each other and with a rather abrasive dwarf called Bayark. The five of them face numerous hideous foes before triumphing over the evil. The villains are the Vordlai, a hideous demonlike race powerful enough to enslave other demonic races less powerful than they. But the Vordlai only serve the evil magician. I won't tell you who or what this character is!
Unlike some fantasy writers who feel obligated to write in a stiff and ponderous style, Rayborn's writing style is free-flowing, simple, and very easy to read. The story takes a number of twists and turns, and one of the female characters, despite her attraction to her companion, comes very close to entering into a lesbian relationship with a dancer who claims magical powers. There is just enough magic in the book to make it interesting, but not enough to outshine the skills, ingenuity and courage exhibited by the characters - who are so complex and well-drawn that the reader actually CARES about them. For me, this is what makes a good book. This is definitely a fascinating read, guaranteed to keep you awake at night!
According to the subtitle on the cover of the book, this is only the first in a trilogy. Speaking for myself, I can't wait to see the second volume!
Amazon.com
George Carlo and Martin Schram are aiming to become information-age Ralph Naders. They ask a question that ought to concern America's 103 million mobile phone users, as well as those who merely come within earshot of these popular devices: Is the wireless future a threat to public health? "Visit any public building, college classroom, courthouse, or commuter train, and look around: You'll see people using not just wireless phones but also wireless laptop computers and miniature palm tops," write Carlo and Schram. "What you won't see are the microwaves that are criss-crossing a confined space where a number of people who are not even using these instruments are bombarded by these waves." It sounds creepy. And Carlo, an epidemiologist who once oversaw a multimillion-dollar research project on health for the cellular industry, believes the news is not good: there may be a link between cell phone use and brain tumors. The research is not conclusive, but Carlo and Schram think it's disturbing enough to warrant government action. Needless to say, the industry that once backed Carlo's work now considers him persona non grata.
Due largely to Carlo's coauthorship, Cell Phones is unavoidably a one-sided story. Key business figures didn't agree to interviews. In fact, this might have been a better book if it were written by Schram, with Carlo as one of several major characters rather than a collaborator. Then again, it would lack the passionate advocacy that will draw many readers to it. And even the most skeptical may want to take a few of the simple safety precautions the authors recommend in a concluding chapter, such as wearing a headset or earpiece when using a cell phone, in order to keep a distance from the radiation-emitting antennae. One look at the x-ray photos reproduced in the book, which show how radiation easily penetrates skulls, will give even the most impervious observer second thoughts. One thing is probably certain: This book is a harbinger of litigation. If Carlo and Schram are correct about their concerns, the cellular industry--as unbelievable as it sounds--may go the way of Big Tobacco. --John J. Miller
Book Description
Essential reading for the 100 million Americans currently using wireless phones, this thoroughly researched and documented cautionary work stands alongside of such classics as Silent Spring and The Coming Plague. With news reports proliferating of the possible connection between brain tumors and cell phone use, Dr. George Carlo was hired by the cell phone industry in 1993 to study the safety of its product. In 1999 funds for Dr. Carlo’s research were not renewed, and the industry sought to discredit him. Undeterred, Carlo now brings his case to the public with a powerful assessment of the dangers posed by the microwave radiation from cell phone antennas—disruption of the functioning of pacemakers, penetration of the developing skulls of children, compromise to the blood-brain barrier, and, most startlingly, genetic damage that is a known diagnostic marker for cancer—as well as a presentation of safeguards that consumers can implement right now to protect their health. “.…the authors raise serious questions about the integrity of the cell phone industry and the FDA.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Extraordinarily informative...[a] captivating story….”—Publishers Weekly
Customer Reviews:
Not very scientific, but very profiteering.......2006-02-02
I can't say it better than Michael Fumento, a senior fellow at Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C. who in his recent column "Is the cell phone scare finally over?", dated Jan 26, 2006 said:
/
Dr. George Carlo, then an epidemiologist working at the George Washington University School of Medicine, administered a $28 million research project funded from 1993 to 2001, via a blind trust established by the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA).
As the project wound down, Carlo pre-empted a study that later appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association. He claimed it showed a tripling of the risk of a brain cancer called neurocytoma among cell-phone users.
Yet the study had no such conclusion. "Regardless of how frequently the phones were used per month or how many years that the phones were used, there wasn't any relationship with the developments of brain cancer," its chief author told PBS.
Carlo insisted he had no reason to fudge anything, since he wouldn't be "re-upping" for the project. He didn't mention his forthcoming book, Cell Phones: Invisible Hazards in the Wireless Age. Sigh.
And that's the sordid cell phone story. It's time for it to end. After all, there's so much more scary pseudoscience in need of media attention.

In my opinion your hard earned money would be better spent elsewhere.
Well-written book if you don't agree with the subject.......2005-08-14
Because of the growing use of cell phones throughout the world, research into health hazards of mobile phones has intensified. The authors need to applauded for taking on a topic that is highly debateable, not to mention controversial. The book is well presented, but presents its case only on one aspect of the controversy.
As the author of "It's Your Call: The Complete Guide to Mobile Phones", I have a different take on the subject. There have been many studies on the effect of radio waves on mobile phone users. Not one has produced a repeatable, identifiable risk. So far the only established fact is slight heating. In fact, going for a walk will warm your head more than talking on a mobile.

No References What So Ever.......2005-05-19
I was not satisfied at all with this book. As a matter of fact, I could not finish it. When dealing with areas of science, references are important. This author may have good information, yet without references it is hard to discern because there aren't any for 99.9% of the material in this book. It is hearsay or religion or more like a novel. If you are looking for information that can be researched or confirmed, this is not the book. Great artistic book cover, yet no hard evidence on the inside. It is true, 'you can't judge a book by its cover'. The title of the book gives a clue to the references in it, 'invisible'.
Can you hear me now?.......2002-04-22
Cell phones have become an integral part of American (and increasingly the world) society. They are ubiquitous in the business world and day-to-day life activities. The authors discuss in detail the risks associated with cell phones, particularly those of the digital variety. They tell the all to common tale of industry PR "spin" vs. public safety and common sense. While it may not be correct to state that cell phones cause brain cancer, the preliminary indications and not heart warming.
Thus far clinical studies have shown:
1) Cell phone radiation penetrates deep into the developing brains of children.
2) Cell phone radiation results in chromosomal damage to blood exposed to wireless phone radio waves. There is a link between chromosome damage and brain cancer.
3) Cell phone radiation breaks down the blood brain barrier. Think of the blood brain barrier as an immune system for the brain. As it breaks down, other environmental toxins more easily enter the brain and cause damage.
4) A number of studies showed a statistically significant correlation between brain cancer deaths and cell phone use.
5) Cell phone radiation can cause pacemakers to malfunction is they (pacemakers) are not properly insulated from cell phones that are within 6 inches of the pacemaker.
The above are based on elaborate human, animal, and laboratory experiments that examine the effects of cell phone radiation. The experiments in the book focus primarily on cell phone use - when the phone is near the head. If cell phone radiation is able to penetrate the human skull, the effects may be even more dramatic on soft tissue such as reproductive organs that may be continuously exposed to radiation by a phone carried in a pants pocket.
Based on the scientific evidence in the book you should avoid using a cell phone or being around one to be perfectly safe. Since that is not likely, the following precautions can be taken:
1) Despite the aggressive marketing practices of the industry towards children, keep cell phones out of the hands of your kids, they are particularly susceptible to the radiation generated by cell phones.
2) Use a hands free model and keep the phone away from your body.
3) If you put the phone up to your ear, point the antenna away from you.
4) If you have one of those cool little phones with a built in antenna, the whole phone is an antenna and you are getting a heavier dose of radiation. GET A HEADSET OR A DIFFERENT PHONE.
5) A cell phone has to pump out more radiation when the signal strength is low, try not to use the phone unless the signal strength is near 100%.
Initial studies show a clear link between cell phone radiation (especially associated with digital phones) and adverse health effects. In the next 10 to 20 years the effects will become apparent with the general public serving as the test subjects. Tread carefully on those wireless stocks over the long term, and take precautions today so you don't become a statistic. Many thanks to Dr. Carlo and Martin Schram for timely well written book packed with critical info for all wireless customers.
THIS BOOK COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!.......2002-02-05
Having worked with wireless technologies for over 30 years, I am an expert in the subject and can verify that the contents of this book are true and undisputable. If you use any form of wireless technology, especially cell phones, you must take the necessary precautions! One thing that the vast majority of people don't understand is that, when cell phones were analog, there was a greatly reduced risk of radiation danger. The reason - analog radio waves are found in nature, i.e. they are natural. The real risk and danger is that today, all cell phones being manufactured are digital and transmit digital signals which are never found in nature because they are man-made. This type of unnatural radiation going through the body is flat-out dangerous and a very high risk to your health. Want to know what's even more scary? There is really no way to protect yourself from the millions of digital wireless cell phone signals passing through your body every day. You are not protected in your home, your office, or even in a bunker. The only type of building that may be able to ward off these digital demons are totally metallic buildings because they tend to relect radio signals. Beware!
