Book Description

Key of Light:
The Malory Price Life Plan does not include a quixotic quest - but the strangers on Warrior's Peak claim that she must find a key that will release three souls held captive by an evil god. Little does she know that the quest will bring her two new friends, the love of her life, and danger beyond anyone's imagination.

Key of Knowledge:
To Dana Steele books and the knowledge they hold are the key to contentment. But now that search for knowledge must include the second key. She won't be alone, for she's formed fast friendships with two very different women. She can't allow herself to be distracted by the return of the man who broke her heart so long ago, for a danger beyond anyone's imagination is determined to keep her from completing her quest.

Key of Valor:
Light and Knowledge have succeeded in their quest, and two of the keys have been found. The final, and last, test goes to Zoe McCourt - Valor. Zoe has the courage to raise her young son alone, and to face all the adversity life has thrown at them. But will she have the courage to face a foe determined to do anything to stop the third key from being found - even destroying everything - and everyone - she loves?

Key Trilogy.......2007-07-07

I have read these books several times, and have them on CD for travelling. Nora Roberts is amazing, and every time I reread her stories, they take me away again. This particular story gets me involved over and over. The characters are so real, and so much fun!

I thought the story lines were very entertaining and cool the way they all go together. The "reader's" voice was pleasant and easy to listen to.

A very enjoyable listen.......2007-06-01

The Key series is just great! I really enjoy how likable the characters are and how real they seem. I laughed out loud several times in each book and I was on the edge of my seat in each book. You can relate to all of the characters. Great story line, especially the fairy tale. The narrator was especially good. She did not try to change her voice to be every single character. She read the story the way it was supposed to be read; not monotonous or hyper-active, just how you would read it in your own head.

I had already read the books, but also enjoy books on CD. I have to drive in a lot of bumper to bumper traffic and this really relaxes me as I drive. I enjoyed her other stories on CDs like Midnight Bayou and the Three Fates. Because the CDs were adbridged and not the full version of the books I was set to be disappointed with things they might leave out. I wasn't, it was merged in such a way as not leaving the listener who might have already read the books miss the parts left out.

Wonderful! Kept my attention, read the whole thing twice it was so much fun!

Book Description

USA Today bestselling author Susan Mallery returns to the idyllic setting of her sensual Marcelli sisters trilogy -- California wine country, where love and laughter flow, and where an unlikely couple discovers the one thing their hearts hunger for most: a place to call home.

The rebel of the Marcelli family, Joe never joined his sisters Katie, Francesca, and Brenna in running the winery business. Instead, he chose a life of military service. But now that this handsome, headstrong former Navy SEAL has received a new, undercover assignment -- protecting none other than the commander in chief's daughter -- he finds himself stationed back at the California vineyard he defiantly left behind. First-daughter Darcy Jensen has been placed in hiding at the Marcelli Winery after surviving a kidnapping attempt . . . and now it's Joe's job to keep the fearful, fiery beauty out of harm's way. Begrudgingly, Joe heeds his presidential order -- until "babysitting" Darcy proves to be the greatest pleasure he's ever known. How can Joe protect Darcy from danger, when he's falling dangerously in love? And can Darcy trust that Joe's intentions are true -- when no one else's have ever been?

Customer Reviews:

first time reader of Susan Mallery.......2007-03-23

I reallly enjoyed finding this book as now I am looking forward to reading several more written by Ms. Mallery. The characterization was fascinating and I often felt like I was in the kitchen of the winery with the Italian grandmothers and the other cast of characters. The heroine was sympathetic and not an idiot (another big plus); the hero was incredibly stubborn but beginning to thaw; and the scenery and love and mayhem all added to a most enjoyable read. Mia was the only one I found trying.

Great Read.......2007-01-07

I started reading this book this morning and finished it this evening. I couldn't put it down. I have not read any of the other books in this series, but plan too. The sneak peak at Mia's story in the back sound very good. I know that reading this one first gave away a lot, but I think going back and reading the others will fill in a lot of blanks for.

4th Book in the series .......2006-08-28

The Marcelli Bride by Susan Mallery is Joe's story. Joe (ex-Navl SEAL)is ordered home to the Marcelli home to protect the President's daughter. The whole Marcelli gang is back and opens their hearts to Darcy Jensen the President's daughter after she was kidnapped. This is my favoriate of the series so far - everyone is back with all the heart of the soul of the Marcelli Family - plus some danger and mystery.
Check out the whole series; The Sparkling One (1),The Sassy One (2),The Seductive One (3), The Marcelli Bride (4),The Marcelli Princess (5 coming out 2007).

The Marcelli Male's Story.......2006-07-11

Navy SEAL Joe Larson is the biological son of Colleen and Marco Marcelli, the result of a teen romance that their parents thought would fizzle out. Several decades and four daughters later, the Marcelli's are still going strong, and after suffering a lonely childhood in the foster system, Joe just wants to be left alone. When a prank by his SEAL team goes awry, he is sent to baby-sit Darcy, the president's daughter while she is hiding from potential kidnappers at the family winery. The last thing Joe expected is to fall for the black sheep of the first family.

Darcy is a plain Jane who likes to wear black and sink into the background. Always a distant second to her blond and buxom sister, she has always felt that she was not enough, especially for her father. At sixteen, she discovered on her mother's deathbed that she was the result of an illicit affair, and her insecurities have only become more prevalent. Add to that the fact that her kidnappers release her because she "is the wrong one." It is enough to make anyone lack self esteem.

Marcelli family patriarch Lorenzo insists that Joe join the family in his rightful place - as the head of the winery operation, despite no desire and no knowledge or interest in wine. Joe resists Lorenzo and the rest of the family at every turn, and tries to resist Darcy, who is more in tune with him than he wants. And his attraction to her is putting her in danger as he cannot control his desires.

Mallery adds another great chapter in the romantic exploits of the Marcelli family. While this is a great stand alone novel, it helps to have a little family background to understand why Lorenzo is so set in his ways about a male heir. Adding tons of comic delight is sister Brenna - in all her pregnant glory. And a secondary romance (though not fully developed) between two of Darcy's security agents adds additional romantic tension.

A pretty good contemporary romance.......2006-07-05

This is the third of Mallery's books that I've read, and I've enjoyed them all. Not to say this is a two thumbs up book, because it's not, but I liked it quite a bit. Mallery has a nice writing style. She always keeps me in her stories. There's a nice flow to her words, and she tells a good story.

The Marcelli Bride is primarily a romance, but there is a sideline plot; the whole kidnapping thing, but it's really just a background issue. Even so, it adds a nice element to the story, gives it some meat. I wished I'd read the other books in the series so I could have a better idea of the family dynamic, but without reading them, you still get a good idea of everything. Mallery has created a great family in the Marcellis. I enjoyed reading about them.

I think the one thing I can complain about in this book is that for whatever reason, I wasn't exactly feeling the chemistry between Joe and Darcy. There was definitely an attraction, and they worked nicely together, but the writing just didn't convey the chemistry all that well. But that didn't detract too much from the overall story. My only other minor complaint was that I'd liked to have had a little more information about the antagonist when it was all said and done. The answers to 'why' were a little bare.

In the end, good book. Not great, but a nice read for a general romance. I'd like to read the others in the series.

Book Description

Suspended helplessly between life and death, Luke Skywalker lies in state at the Jedi academy. But on the spirit plane, Luke fights desperately for survival, reaching out physically to the Jedi twins. At the same time, Leia is on a life-and-death mission of her own, a race against Imperial agents hoping to destroy a third Jedi child -- Leia and Han's baby Anakin -- hidden on the planet Anoth. Meanwhile, Luke's former protÚgÚ Kyp Durron has pirated the deadly Sun Crusher on an apocalyptic mission of mass destruction, convinced he is fighting for a just cause. Hunting down the rogue warrior, Han must persuade Kyp to renounce his dark crusade and regain his lost honor. To do it, Kyp must take the Sun Crusher on a suicide mission against the awesome Death Star prototype -- a battle Han knows they may be unable to win... even with Luke Skywalker at their side!

Customer Reviews:

Read it if you must.......2006-08-02

Good story, terrible writing.

Anderson's prose is trite, unimaginative, and, far too often, simply laughable. Which is a shame because the story is compelling.

This is a key part of the Star Wars extended universe, however. So, read it if you must. But you've been warned.

A Fine Book!.......2006-03-14

I love the Jedi Academy Series and I love this book. I really like this book out of the series. A great way to wrap up a fantastic series.

Not much more to say, I just loved this book very much.

What a great finale to the Jedi Academy Trilogy........2005-12-19

My goodness. I deeply enjoyed this book and Dark Apprentice, both of which express the challenge of the jedi and the temptation of the dark side. The trilogy explains of how Luke Skywalker begins his Jedi praxeum (academy) and how his students are tempted to the dark side by Exar Kun, an ancient sith lord who had had his spirit entrapped in the New Jedi Order's temple on Yavin IV.

The highest ranked female officer in the Empire everywhere, Admiral Daala, is trying to become a force to be reckoned with in the galaxy, along with her force of four Star Destroyers (of which has been halved since the beginning of the trilogy). Daala is a suicidal commander, and is sacrificing ship after ship to the attempt to wound the New Republic. You can guess where this crusade will end.

Kyp Durron, the greatest of Luke's students, embraces the dark side and decides to become the Lord of the Sith. He takes a stolen doomsday device, the Sun Crusher (which destroys entire systems instead of just planets like the Death Star), and goes on a rampage throughout the core worlds, destroying three star bodies before coming to his senses again.

I will not give the entire book series, but that is a general outline. It is very good for any fan of Star Wars or the science fiction genre in general. Kevin J. Anderson is not the best author, and sometimes I notice screwups in his writing, and I am not exactly a professional. Also, I looked through his acknowledgements, and he says he has someone transcribe the story through tapes. There is lazy for you. :-)

This book contains much about the Star Wars Universe and I recommend it to all. It has a fairly complex plot, and yet is simple at the same time. Also, everyone should read the Thrawn trilogy. It is quite obvious that THAT book series is my most favorite.

Long live the Galactic Empire!

Your lord and master,
Grand Admiral Thrawn

Anderson's grand finale........2005-11-25

Champions of the Force concludes Kevin J. Anderson's Jedi Academy Trilogy which began with Jedi Search and built up to the cliffhanger ending at the end of Dark Apprentice before delivering the payoff in this novel. Luke Skywalker lies comatose in the Jedi Academy hanging between life and death, the result of a battle with the spirit of Exar Kun, the Dark Lord whose spirit has corrupted Kyp Duron, Luke's most powerful student, and led him on the path to the Dark Side of the Force. Luke reaches out to Jacen and Jaina Solo, his nephew and niece for their help. Meanwhile, Luke's sister, Leia Organa-Solo, has a fight of her own, as she races to the planet Anoth to rescue her youngest son Anakin Solo before Imperial forces can destroy the young Jedi child. Kyp Duron is using the Sun Crusher to destroy star systems loyal to the Empire, which he believes to be a noble cause, but this is a heinous act which will continue to have impact decades after the end of this story. Admiral Daala is still seeking to strike at the New Republic, using her Death Star prototype. Other Star Wars favorites are included here--Han Solo, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, C-3PO and R2-D2. Champions of the Force is a superb finale to Kevin Anderson's excellent trilogy, and I recommend these books for all Star Wars enthusiasts.

The Jedi Academy Trilogy.......2005-10-02

The Jedi Academy Trilogy (1994.) A three-book Star Wars saga by Kevin J. Anderson.

NOTE: This review is for the entire trilogy.

INTRODUCTION:
The Star Wars film series is, without question, the greatest science fiction series of all time. George Lucas captured the minds of people young and old across the world. But as anyone knows, there are only a limited number of films, and for many people, this just wasn't enough. And thus, the Star Wars Expanded Universe was born. The Expanded Universe consisted of comic books, video games, novels, and other media. Many of the stories focused on the characters in the films, many focused on unknown characters from the same universe. Among the authors who tried their hands at creating Star Wars novels was Kevin J Anderson. He was a fairly notable science fiction author, and the middle of the nineties, he wrote several Star Wars novels. One of his best-known Star Wars projects was the Jedi Academy Trilogy, released in the middle of the decade. Read on to see how the series measures up!

OVERVIEW:
The Jedi Academy Trilogy occurs seven years after Return of the Jedi. It takes place right between the Dark Empire comic book series and the novel Children of the Jedi. Luke Skywalker has a dream to find force-endowed beings across the galaxy, so that he may train them at his new Jedi Academy. This way, a new line of Jedi Knights can protect the New Republic, just as the original Knights defended the Old Republic before its collapse. Luke sets out to find candidates for his Academy, while Han Solo and Chewbacca get themselves into a dangerous situation. Even after escaping their first of these dangerous situations, they wander into something even worse - and discover some long-lost Imperial remants, working on a weapon capable of wiping out an entire solar system. This is a three-book saga.

REVIEW:
Overall, I would have to say that the Jedi Academy Trilogy is probably the finest multi-work piece of Star Wars literature that I have read thusfar. Kevin J. Anderson is an excellent author, and he does every aspect of the universe excellently. I'm surprised to see the stories in this saga get such a backlash from fans - I found them to be every bit as enjoyable as the more widely-revered Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn. In fact, I prefer Anderson's writing style over Zahn's. A little word of advice - if you've just finished the Thrawn Trilogy, and you want to read what's next in the series, DO NOT IMMEDIATELY START THE JEDI ACADEMY TRILOGY! READ THE DARK EMPIRE COMIC BOOKS FIRST! I didn't read Dark Empire first, and it's a very important story occuring between Zahn's Trilogy and Anderson's. If you don't read it, you'll be left confused at many of the comments made in the book about a resurrected Emperor Palpatine. Overall I really enjoyed this Trilogy of Anderson's. He's one of the best Expanded Universe novels, and if you need proof, read this saga.

EDITION NOTES:
The Jedi Academy Trilogy remains very popular, so it's not surprising to see that its books are still in print and readily available. If you want to read them, most bookstores carry them, so they shouldn't be too hard to come across.

OVERALL:
In the end, this trilogy flat-out rules. Where many Expanded Universe authors have failed, Anderson succeeds with flying colors. If you're just getting into the Expanded Universe, I recommend starting where the movies left off and working your way through all of the stories up to this one before reading it. Trust me on that one. Overall, any Star Wars fan should get a real kick out of Anderson's Trilogy. Highly recommended! Five stars.

Please Use Biblical Discernment.......2007-07-04

On the surface, this book appears to fit into biblical principles. Except for one thing, one of the authors uses his or her young son as a Christian "medium" to located demonic spirits and report what the spirits are doing. The Bible is quite clear on the use of mediums [Deuteronomy 18:9-12], even those who claim to be speaking for God [Acts 16:16-19]. This book has charismatic overtones. If you read this book, have your Bible open so that you can readily compare everything to Scripture. The devil loves to mix a "little" deception with "a lot" of Christian doctrine.

A Must Read Book to protect your home and family.......2007-06-27

This is a must-read book to educate you about protecting your home from spiritual darkness, just as the title states. The book points out things that are happening in the spiritual realm of homes. The authors teach you about protecting your home as well as cleaning your home.

Beginner Book.......2007-01-12

This is a great book for all beginners to the spiritual warfare aspect of their Christian walk.

WOW!.......2007-01-12

What an eye opener. Every christian should read and pray this one through. I read this through so quickly I could not put it down! And I could think of several people to pass it on to. There are several things that caught my attention. And got me to work on spiritual housecleaning. Movies mostly and after you read this you will watch movies television and books with different eyes.
And when I got to the chapter about the masons and shriners.... I went to sleep thinking I had no concerns about this part and closed my eyes, but when I woke the next morning the Holy Spirit said "Oh yes you do!" and gave me visions of my parents leaving the house with their vests on, full of patches they had earned.
This would also be a good way of helping others that you know that are doing things that you know they shouldn't but you don't know how to tell them they are messing with the dark side like reading the horoscope etc.
A must read for all.

Protecting your home from spiritual darkness.......2006-08-03
