Book Description
For thirty years, Robert Ludlum's novels have set the standard for the finest in international intrigue and suspense. With an unbroken string of bestsellers in almost every country in the world, his books have been enjoyed by hundreds of millions of readers and are widely acknowledged as classics in the field. Now, after the bestselling Covert-One novels The Hades Factor and The Cassandra Compact, comes the third thrilling novel in the series. A fiery explosion in the dark of night shatters one of the laboratory buildings in Paris's esteemed Pasteur Institute. Among the dead is Emile Chambord, one of the leaders in the global race to create a molecular or DNA computer. Unfortunately, Professor Chambord kept the details of his work secret, and his notes were apparently destroyed in either the bomb blast or the raging fire that followed. Under the cover of visiting his friend Marty Zellerbach, who was severely injured when the Pasteur lab was destroyed, Covert-One agent Jon Smith flies to Paris to search for the connection between the Pasteur explosion and the forces now wielding the computer. Following a trail that leads him across two continents, Smith uncovers a web of deception that threatens to wreck havoc and forever reshape the world.

Stupid.......2007-09-21
Marginal as a thriller. Flunks as a spy or tech novel. If you know anything about technology you'll be pulling your hair out, screaming. It's that bad.
Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03
Another job for Smith! Well, Smith and his CIA and MI6 counterparts, as well. As per previously, Smith is tasked to look into a bombing that is used as cover to enable the left of a supercomputer type device that has a biological basis.
People are desperate to get this computer because it supposedly has ORAC type capabilities, in being able to control other machines.
total lack of authenticity.......2006-08-28
I've read a lot of Ludlum books but this book is so totally "off" in terms of technical authenticity and detail that anyone who understands a little about computers, etc. should stay away - it is just to difficult to read when you can't respect the knowledge of the authors.
Not as good as the first two, but still entertaining.......2006-05-22
Too many characters make a story difficult to follow and that's the case with this book in the Covert One series. However, the premise of this super computer is startling and makes for a good story line. I do love the main characters, Marty, John Smith, Randy and the droll englishman. Worth a listen, especially on tape.
Ho-hum Humdrum Ludlum.......2006-04-07
The early part of the book was pure Ludlum, good opening, strong plot buildup, etc. The second quarter went off on a tangent of the spy hero suddenly meeting up with another spy, an old female flame, and yet another spy, a British tongue-in-cheek type.
This was followed by paragraph after paragraph of what they all once meant to each other, ad nauseam.....gaaaaaagggg. The whole story took a new direction possibly aimed at getting women to read spy thrillers.
I don't know. I don't care. The unread remains of this trivial pursuit spy scam lies buried in a wastepaper basket somewhere in my house waiting for next week's trash collection. I'm just glad I bought it second-hand.

Book Description
They were both outcasts by a harsh decree -- and on the brink of a shared destiny of passion!
With her father murdered, her home burned, lovely Alyx Blackelt fled to the woods -- and sanctuary in the camp of Raine Montgomery, a nobleman outlawed by the king's edict. There she hid her beauty in the guise of a boy, and her sorrow in her work as Montgomery's squire.
But how long could such loveliness as hers be hidden? How long could such a gallant man's desires be blind? And how soon -- even as a blood feud raged between the Montgomerys and the Chatworths, as angry swords clattered in the name of family honor -- one woman's love would make all the difference...one woman's love would inflame a hero's passion, touch a king's pity, and raise a song of praise in every English heart.

No no no no .......2007-07-25
Hated this book. Just hated it. I love most of Jude's books but this one was a huge disappointment. First, the romantic lead. He's a big, sulking bully. He spanks his wife. Seriously, he puts her over his knee and spanks her because he doesn't like the way she is acting! Give me a break. Second, the couple just fights fights fights. We're supposed to believe this couple who cannot have a civil conversation loves one another? No way.
Just skip this one.
disappointment.......2007-02-22
ok - so i reviewed an earlier book in this series and said i was disappointed but i might not have been had i looked at the publication date. well, i knew the publication date and was still disappointed by this book.
basic plot of this book goes something like this - Alyx has been trained since she was small and treated as special in her community b/c of her amazing voice. after her father is killed she hides in the woods with raine and his group of cutthroats and misfits.
here is what i liked about the book - alyx was a likable character for the most part who grew throughout the book and came into herself. i liked seeing some of the previous characters and how they fit in with each other.
and here is what i didn't like - raine. i HATED him, he was hard and unforgiving and constantly acted like a child. he never grew up until the end of the book. he refused to listen to anyone and didn't care about anyone else or how they were hurt as long as he got what he wanted and his 'honor' was intact. **spoiler** i also hated that alyx took him back as easily as she did. to begin with she left her two month old daughter to go back to raine after he left her and treated her horribly. then after he continued to treat her like a leper and to act like a donkey, she sent her daughter to him. hello, how many of you mothers would send a young child to an unforgiving man? i know i would never risk that, especially given his previous actions. she took a huge chance (and obviously since this is fiction she won) however, i am sorry, i felt after she took him back so easily she deserves whatever things he dishes out to her - i believe the saying goes fool me once shame on you fool me twice, shame on me. and she defeinately put up with too much.
so, now that i have ranted i will say that if you have read the rest of the series and loved it, the you will probably like this book, but it isn't as good as the previous velvet highland. either way, i hope you enjoy whatever book you end up with :)
A woman with an incredibly cruel tongue. A man who sulks like a spoiled child. These two deserve each other........2006-06-24
I love the Montgomery family story. Also, I really enjoy Deveraux's humorous and passionate writing style. Those are really the main reasons I gave this book 3 stars instead of the 2 that it really deserves. I have a hard time liking a story when I can't like the people involved. This main couple, Raine and Alyx, are both miserable and cruel people.
The Hero:
Raine Montgomery is a sexy, beautiful man... physically. However, he is a horrible husband and an even worse father. He spends all of his time blabbing about "honor", meanwhile he abandons his wife twice, and never bothers to make any attempt to meet his daughter.
The first time he abandons Alyx, she is a month from giving birth to their child. He dumps her at his brother's home and refuses any letters from her. He sulks for months until their daughter is 2 months old. Then, he still treats her coldly as she struggles for his forgiveness. Her crime... she had hurt his pride by trying to save him from stupidly getting himself killed.
The second time he abandons her is for several months. Again he dumps her at his brothers house and refuses any word from her. By the time their daughter is a year old, he still has never seen the little girl or asked about her well- being. He takes no interest in her until Alyx finally sends the child to live with him for a few months. Alyx's crime this time... she hurt his pride again by trying to help him.
I can't love a "hero" (stretching the word here) who is a deadbeat dad and neglectful husband. To Raine, pride comes before his family.
The Heroine:
Alyx has a tongue that cuts deeper than a sword. She insults Raine constantly. I can't count the number of times she calls him "stupid", "overgrown ox", and other charming pet names. Whenever Raine finally calms down from his sulking spells and attempts to make amends, Alyx can't shut up. She belittles him and presses every cruel button she can think up. Raine calmly warns her several times that she is "going to far", but she just can't shut up. The most pleasant part of the story is during a few days when Alyx loses her voice.
Alyx also makes one hugely stupid move that cuts Raine's heart to pieces:
Raine is hiding in the forest until he can get a pardon from the king. When Alyx must leave the forest, Raine is ready to go with her and protect her. She wants him to stay in the forest where he is safe. Rather than just trying to sneak away from the camp, she goes along with a plan to hurt Raine so badly that he'll let her leave without him. Throwing half her clothes off, she jumps on his best friend to make look like they are having an affair. It works. Raine is soul- destroyed. Cruelty with a capitol "C."
The main story:
Alyx has great talent for music. She can sing like and angel and compose her own songs. In her village, she is held up on a pedestal. However, when a neighboring lord (Lord Pagnell) hears her sing, he is infatuated with her. He tries to rape her. She fights back and manages to escape. In retaliation, Lord Pegnell murders her father and burns her home to the ground. He announces a reward for her capture, claiming that she is a witch who uses song to entrance and bedevil men.
The priest of Alyx's village plans an escape for Alyx. There is a band of outlaws living deep in the forest. Because these outlaws would likely ravish a helpless female, they disguise her as a boy. When she arrives at the camp, she is introduced to leader. Raine Montgomery is a lord who has been excommunicated by the king. When the "boy" is dropped into his care, he decides to make Alyx his squire.
After weeks of training the "boy", Raine discovers her true identity. The two fall in love, but clash with one another constantly. He blows his temper at the drop of a hat, she insults and belittles him at will. The people of the outlaw camp grow to hate Alyx. In fear that they may harm her, Raine decides to take Alyx away from the camp. She wants him to stay, fearing that the kings men will find him and kill him. Raine's best friend, Joss, comes up with the plan to make Raine hate Alyx.
Joss and Alyx wander the country, earning their meals with music. After a month of traveling, they discover she is caring Raine's child. They continue to wander for several months until they are found by the evil Lord Pegnell. He plans a trap that will murder Alyx and capture Raine at the same time. In a sham trial, Alyx is found guilty of witch craft and sentenced to burn at the stake. Knights are posted all around the area to capture Raine, for surely he will come and try to rescue her. Pegnell has made sure that Joss went free, knowing that Joss would go to Raine for help. Joss informs Raine that the affair between himself and Alyx was not real. In an act of love and bravery, Raine gathers his loyal forest outlaws for a rescue. As soon as she is safe, Raine takes her to a chapel and marries her.
From here the story goes down hill. This is the point where Raine will abandon Alyx twice and never bother with his child. Alyx will continue to insult Raine with words so stupid and cruel you'll want to slap her. There was just too much anger and meanness between these two. No marriage like this one could survive. Why would either of them want the each other?
The book is a quick read. I read it in a day. Deveraux is great at creating fluid and detailed settings and personalities. Her love scenes are charming and steamy. The Montgomery family as a whole is very likable. These facts kept me from tossing the book before I finished it.
As disappointed as I was with this story, I will continue to read the rest of the Montgomery series.
I love Raine! (Deep sigh).......2006-03-20
I am so into the Velvet series and am reading them all in a row. I looked forward to reading Velvet Song because this one is Raine's story. Velvet Song is my favorite installment thus far. Raine Montgomery is now an outlaw after he gathers knights for a personal battle against the Chatworths. Now he hides in the woods with other outlaws and rejects. He is the one in charge of keeping order, peace, work and food in the camp and seems content with his new life except for his constant concern over his family and the Chatworths. His life isn't the same when a "boy" arrives at his camp and becomes his squire. Alyx Blackett is a gifted songstress who lives a simple life with her father in a small village. But when a nobleman, in retaliation after Alyx rejects his brutish advances, kills her father and burns her house, she flees her small village after she is accused of being a witch. She is taken to Raine's camp, posing as a boy. Her cover is blown and a passionate, intense love ensues between the protagonists, but the long-standing feud with the Chatworths, pride and honor will get in the way of their happiness. There are various twists throughout the novel.
Raine, Raine, Raine! Sigh. Why aren't there men like him? What could be sexier than a one-woman man? His passionate nature, his stubborn pride and sense of duty and honor are what make him so appealing to me. He does get on my nerves in the second half of the novel, but I love the way he humbles himself. Alyx could be quite irritating as well. She does make a lot of decisions without consulting him first, and while I don't applaud Raine's pouting and stubbornness, the heroine presumes to know what is best for them throughout the novel, though her heart is in the right place. The hatred between the Montgomerys and the Chatworths escalate all the more in this installment. However, there is some development of Roger here that I like very much. The author hints on the fact that he may not be the devil incarnate after all, that he may just be as proud, rancorous and vengeful as the Montgomery men. He does some awful things in Highland Velvet, but there has always been something interesting about him and I hope there will be more development in Velvet Angel. It was nice to read so much of Gavin, Judith and Stephen in this installment. Stephen is more interesting and appealing here than he was in Highland Velvet for some reason. Maybe it is the fact that he talks with a Scottish brogue now and wears plaids regularly. This is another intense offering from this engrossing series and I look forward to reading the conclusion of this saga in Velvet Angel. I recommend this one most highly. However, read these books in order. They don't make good standalones.
Good, but I had higher expectation for Raine's story - 3.5 stars.......2005-11-06
All her life, Alyxandria Blackett's world has revolved around music. So it is while she is deeply immersed in her newest composition alone in the forest when she finds herself fighting off the advances of Lord Pagnell. Although she manages to escape, the rejection isn't taken well by her would-be attacker. That same night, she sees her father murdered and her home burned. And when Pagnell realizes that she has again escaped, he declares her a witch and puts up a big reward for her capture. With the help of their priest, she pretends to be a boy and takes up sanctuary in the camp of outlaws and works as a squire for Raine Montgomery.
A few weeks before, Raine was declared an outlaw by King Henry when he made the mistake of attacking his beloved sister Mary's captor while in command of the king's army. Accused as a traitor, he has hidden himself deep in the forest and became the leader of England's rejects. But while obedience from them came quick and easy, it wouldn't be quite the same with his new squire.
From day one, Alyx has shown contempt for Raine holding his noble birth against him. But as quick as she is to dislike him, she also quickly learns that Raine is nothing like Pagnell. Fearing that she will soon lose her heart to him, she tries to protect herself by hiding behind the pretence of hating him.
VELVET SONG is the third instalment in the Velvet Quartet. If you have read the first two books, you might be a little disappointed to see that Raine is not quite the humorous, easy-going man he once was. Sure, we get to see glimpses of the "old Raine" once in a while, but for most part, he is bitter and quick to believe the worst of Alyx. But having been through so much agony since the tragedy that befell his sister, I could appreciate why he's changed so much. What I couldn't understand though was how he could have stayed away from his own child for so long. As for Alyx, despite her insecurities and constant bellowing, she was much easier to like than the second book's heroine. And the constant bickering between the main characters does provide some humor and I liked the part when Alyx loses her voice and seeing Raine take advantage of the situation.
Overall, this was quite an enjoyable read and I liked the way the author set up the pace for the finale - Miles' story (VELVET ANGEL).

As usual, Jude Deveraux writes a wonderful book. I like the way she covers all the family members with their own story but by reading the previous books you notice how she refers to instances in those as well.

Formulaic horror stories from a Mieville I hardly recognize.......2007-07-09
Ok, before I get any flak from the legions of Mieville fans out there, I have to mention that I love China's Bas-Lag books (Perdido Street Station, The Scar, Iron Council) and I will use this review to plug them to the best of my ability, but Looking for Jake just isn't the Mieville I know. The stories contained herein are formulaic and repetitive at best, as if they hail from the author's experimental phase when he was still trying out new ideas and writing techniques. By no means bad, this collection is a must-have for die-hard fans, but it's just not what I expected. I had hoped that it would contain stories that were written after China established his unique style consisting of arcane descriptions and the use of self-made terminology featured in his Bas-Lag novels, but I was sorely disappointed. Sure, there are a few stories that were written after he attained publishing success, but these are not what I expected and they bored me. If you are looking for the brilliant characterization and nightmare inducing monstrosities Mieville is good at creating they will not be found within these pages. I realize short stories make it hard to build on character but these tales felt like reading someone trying to write Stephen King and failing. After reading Looking for Jake I realized that I much prefer Neil Gaiman's short fiction. Nevertheless, there were three tales that stood out, and which I quite enjoyed beyond the norm. One is "Familiar", a story about a warlock who creates a familiar and then tries to get rid of it, "Details" a Lovecraft inspired story about sentient patterns in a wall, and "The Tain," a novella about an invasion from the world beyond mirrors. The other stories (even the sole New Crobuzon story "Jack," which I badly wanted to love) are poor fare at best, and are definitely not as engaging as his novels. Give Looking for Jake a try if you are a Mieville junkie, but don't expect anything on par with his Bas-lag books.
Dark and enjoyable!.......2007-03-03
Excellent collection of stories. This is my first exposure to Mieville's work, and I'm very impressed. These are not "light" stories; they require your full attention while reading them, or you will miss something. Some of them are somewhat uncomfortable, and a couple of them made me look at some pretty commonplace things in a whole new light! Only 4 stars because there were a few places in some of the stories that I felt the author was being intentionally tortuous in order to hide the twist that came at the end.
the deep order of chaos.......2007-02-26
While most of the short stories here are far less complex than Mieville's stupendous Bas-Lag novels, they are still eminently readable and thought-provoking displays of Mieville's emerging literary talents. Granted, a few of the tales here are a bit too simplistic and merely offer limited development of quirky ideas, like "The Ball Room," "Entry Taken from a Medical Encyclopedia," and particularly "'tis the Season," which is a funny but totally typical slab of modern corporate satire. However, this collection is perfectly rewarding overall, thanks to Mieville's abilities in creating richly visual settings and subversive social philosophy, and to blend the elements of fantasy and horror. Also, there is a noticeable running theme of paranoia in many of the stories here, as freethinkers find themselves oppressed by society's strictures in "Looking for Jake," "Go Between," and "An End to Hunger." Mieville also utilizes fairly common horror archetypes in several tales, but extends them into new realms of creepiness that are far superior to the forbidden love obsessions of today's mainstream horror. Great examples here of Mieville's true skills with psychological dread include "Foundation," "Details," "Different Skies," and the intriguingly odd "Reports of Certain Events in London." This collection is most useful in proving that Mieville is capable of literature that is both more laidback and more stylistically expansive than his deservedly famous novels. [~doomsdayer520~]
PM's master of DANGEROUS VISIONS.......2007-01-12
CHINA MIEVILLE continues to delight,astound and terrify in this fine,pithy collection of PM DANGROUS VISIONS.The anthology is uneven. Several stories("On the Way to the Front";"Foundation")disappoint. Overall effect of this abyss-trip into hearts of darkness is startling.THE FAMILIAR is terror tale out of H.P.Lovecraft and Kafka~A dreck "thing", anti-logos made in the image & likeness of a pathetic third-rate occult adept,plunges into the world devouring raw experience and "being"to become a PM incarnation of The Monster from the Id.
"Different Skies" is Twilight-Zone-like thriller where an unwary recluse finds himself gazing into portal of the feral.Same/Same for DETAILS~a tale of demonic obsession where "The Id lurks at the threashold" ready to erupt into a fragile world of Logos-less men. "'Tis the Season" is welcome aside into black humored satire. CHRISTMAS has been "patented" into very expensive, Thought-Police-guarded,entity sold by the pound to a feckless populace of the spiritually vacuous for whom even a Christmas Tree is a cosmic,illuminating,re-HUMANIZING sacrament.To the rescue comes the Gay Men's Radical Singing Caucus:Here!Queer!Ready to bring Cheer!ALLELUIA!
TAIN is good,if not quite successful tale of inter-dimensional War. "Jack" is fine,Bas-Lag/New Crobuzon-based adventure about B-L/NC's Robinhood fREE-Made called "Jack-half-a-Prayer";and how he is betrayed,captured and martyred. Cover-jacket of the anthology(cropped from THE SCAR)seems to be a great cathedral from which all Crucifixes have been lopped-off.LOOKING FOR JAKE continues to evidence Mieville's scriptomaturge mastery over language,plot,and bizzare character...as well as his uncanny ability to expand meta-categories so that the common may be revealed as pregnant with danger;and the dangerous provide precious opportunity to recover forsaken,squandered Humanity through challenge to--again--CARE.These are bold,Dangerous Visions'parables of a surreal Time where mistakes are last chances to do something...real/redemptive...rather than curse God and/or blame friends abandoned long ago.
Mieville short fiction... different from novels but recommended.......2006-03-05
Although I have not read "King Rat", I have read the 3 other novels of Mr. Mieville, all of which are quite different from the short stories contained within this collection (with the exception of one of the pieces ("Jack") which is set in the world of "Perdido Street Station", "The Scar", and "Iron Council"). There is a bit of variety here in the stories told. While Mr. Mieville does have his own style (especially in his novels), his short stories show many stylistic similarities to that of Thomas Ligotti. The pieces "Looking for Jake", "Different Skies", and "The Tain" are especially so. My favorite work is without a doubt "Reports of Certain Events in London", which is easily worth the price of the whole collection by itself. I don't think there is much that I can compare this particular piece to, but I would say that it has qualities similar parts of Danielewski's "House of Leaves" and Vandermeer's "The City of Saints and Madmen".
