Fantastico, otra gran produccion!.......2007-03-24
Despues de haber escuchado Jerusalen, Caballo de Troya 1Caballo de Troya: Jerusalen (Caballo de Troya), la cual fue como una pelicula para los oidos, estaba desemperado de escuchar la segunda entrega. Definitivamente me metio en la historia de nuevo, los felicito.
Contestas algunas preguntas y hace otras........2007-02-20
Esta segunda saga del gran viaje a la época de Jesús la cual es imposible de entender si no has leído la primera. Se explica los motivos de un segundo viaje.
Aunque el libro dedica las primera 100 pagina al despegue de la nave desde Masada, esto es un sacrificio que vale la pena ya que en esta parte muchas pregunta de la primera parte se contestan y se hacen otras nuevas.
Con un relato extraordinario y un final de película el autor nos deleita con sus descripciones impresionantes las cuales te dejaran sin aliento y con la sed de conocimiento sin saciar.
Magnifica interpretacion.......2007-02-18
La serie de Caballo de Troya, por Fonolibro, es magnifica, ya que no es una obra narrada, es interpretada, como una radio novela. La versión de Caballo de Troya 1, es superior a la 2. Ansioso espero este disponible por Fonolibro Caballo de Troya 3.
ALEJESE DE EL.......2007-01-22
Si la obra fuera presentada como ficcion pasaria, pero el autor jura y jura de nuevo que el ha recibido esos documentos atestiguando hechos no comprobados por nadie mas ni del mundo cientifico-milital ni civil de ningun tipo. Tuve la dicha de leer de corrido los primeros 4 Caballo de Troya gracias a un hermano que me los presto, por tanto tuve tambien la dicha de descubrir las inconsistencias e incongruencias que de haberlos leido con la distancia en el tiempo por publicacion no hubiera logrado. Me molesta mucho la deshonestidad por unos dolares mas, el mundo cristiano deberia saber que juega con sus sentimientos religiosos para lograr mas lectores (mas dinero en su bolsillo)

Download Description
While Harrie Clark's husband was alive, their homestead in the soaring crags of Idaho's Salmon River Canyon was their paradise. When the raging river claimed his life, Hattie grew lonelier than she thought possible. Then Toby, an eight-year-old runaway, comes into her life. An unspeakable secret has driven Toby into the wilderness to search for his great-uncle, Afton McCabe, Hattie's gold-mining neighbor. McCabe, a loner, struggles to eke out a living from a river that promises riches but delivers heartbreak. He resents Toby's intrusion but lets him stay. After Toby is nearly killed by a devastating illness, Hattie and Afton become convinced that they must return Toby to his father, despite the boy's wish to remain in the wilderness forever. Together they take the treacherous downriver trek in an all-out confrontation with nature's fiercest elements--despite the boy's deepest desire to keep his new family together forever.
Customer Reviews:
Best in the trilogy.......2002-11-02
Let me start by saying that this book is not what is described above in the story details. Amazon has crossed this with another book. This is Daniel and Mercy's story and the final book in the Wabash trilogy.
Daniel and Mercy have been inseparable for most of their life since being adopted by Liberty and Farr. Actually they were rescued/saved by Liberty/Farr. They have grown up as brother and sister through all of their life. They aren't as close in the past years as they are both starting their adult lives. But when suddenly strangers appear in town and insist that Mercy is actually their sister Hester things change quickly. Percy is back a a villain in this story and he is now in the slave trade, actually he is running a slave "breeding factory" and is evil as ever. He still hates anyone or anything attached to the Quills.
One of the biggest turmoil's in this story is that Mercy's brothers who basically have no manners to speak of want her to go back to Kentucky with the to see her dying mother. This makes her wonder who she really is..... Along the way she and Daniel realize that they both love each other but are afraid to tell the other. On goes the struggle.
A good romance story!
If you like frontier novels, you'll love this one!.......2002-07-27
Dorothy's Garlock's Wabash trilogy is the best of the best. You'll fall in love with these characters. I feel like they are dear friends. I've read this book and the other two books of the trilogy over 20 times. Daniel and Mercy, Raine and Amy, Libery and Farr, it was wonderful to see what happened to my beloved characters.
Another excellent tale from Dorothy Garlock!.......2002-03-15
Another excellent Garlock book. Ms. Garlock is a master of including people from other stories and interweaving them through the lives she writes about, and this one was definitely no exception. Mercy and Daniel are charming characters, with many of the traits of Liberty and Farr - the couple that raised them, and were featured in a previous book of this trilogy. I was not ready for this story to end, and would also have liked to read about Farr and George, and Amy and Rain coming home. However, Ms. Garlock made it very clear they were in route. Nevertheless, I would have enjoyed the homecoming.
Mercy is not quite as strong as Liberty or Amy, from the previous books in this trilogy. She did seem pretty dependent on Daniel, however, she was going through quite a lot, and that seemed only natural. She held herself together very well, with her chin high and the same quick temper of Liberty Quill.
Their love story was so sweet and warm, and very enjoyable to read. With the involvement of the family rival, Hammond Perry, still bent on revenge after all these years... the story keeps moving at a fast pace. I found it hard to put down, like the others in this trilogy.
A good ending to a fabulous trilogy.......1999-12-21
The only problem I had with this book is that my favorite characters of the Wabash trilogy, Rain and Amy, were only briefly mentioned. I wanted to see them enjoying a wedded bliss and meet their two boys. Otherwise, this book featured a great love story between Mercy and Daniel. At first, I thought that they would be a pale version of Amy and Rain or Libby and Farr, but they and their story was unique. Mercy's character was similar to Libby's and Daniel's to Rain's. Mercy's sharp tongue and short temper were a delight, but her neediness wore me out. Daniel was dependable and decent, a great combination, but he was a bit boring at times. The discovery of Mercy's origins was a good plot twist and I grew to like her family. Mercy's and Daniel's shot-gun wedding is extremely funny and I re-read it several times. Eleanor is more lovable here than in "Dream River" and Gavin is still wonderful. I was a little bit disappointed that Ms. Garlock briefly described Tennessee's and Mike's romance without giving it an end. Although Mike became weaker here than in "Dream River", I enjoyed what little there was about his and Tenny's romance and hoped that Ms. Garlock would spend as much time on them as she did on Eleanor and Gavin in "Dream River". This novel lacks a satisfying ending, which would be Farr returning with George and Amy and Rain making it to the family reunion.

Book Description
With a long list of her mother's dos and don'ts swirling in her head, and with a ticket that will get her only halfway home at the end of summer, fourteen-year-old Megan Barnett boards the eastbound train. Her destination, the Mississippi River at Burlington, Iowa, is twenty-four hours and a host of unfamiliar seatmates away. The most pleasant of these characters is Horace, an engineering student whose passion for newspapers, combined with a sharp curve of the tracks, land him nearly in Megan's lap. The parade of interesting strangers-some of whom aren't what they seem- doesn't end with Megan's arrival in Burlington, where she joins her sister's family on the riverboat, the Oh My. River travel, as Megan quickly learns, is fraught with danger, both on the water and off. A keen eye, for seeing beneath the surface of things, can make all the difference. Leaving a trail of discarded rules and newspaper headlines in her wake, Megan takes on the river and reaps its rewards.

Excellent Coming Of Age Story.......2007-03-15
Megan Barnett is about to have an Adventure. She is leaving home (a Nebraska farm) to live with her sister on a riverboat for the summer.
She gets on the east-bound train, and her transformation begins. She talks to strangers; she, who has a gift of "seeing" learns that things, especially people, aren't always what they seem.
She has harrowing experiences, exhilirating experiences, and life-view changing experiences.
This book is chock-full of fantastic characters and situations. It is well written - you won't want to skip a paragraph. You fear for Megan, you cheer for Megan, and you want to read the last 1/3 of the book over and over; or at least I did.
This is a fantastic story for a young girl; I whole-heartedly recommend it!

Excellent story of encounters and growing up........2006-12-10
Teen Megan is bound for the Mississippi River via train - and headed for an encounter with strangers that will change her life during the journey. Ignoring her mother's 'dos and don'ts' may affect her life in ways she can't predict in this excellent story of encounters and growing up.
Unforgettable.......2006-10-15
If you have a young girl reader in your life, YOU MUST GIVE HER THIS BOOK. Part historical fiction, part adventure mystery, part love story, it is exquistely crafted and deserves a place on everyone's shelves. Don't miss this one!

One of My Ten Favorites!.......2006-04-25
Tomorrow is a River is on my "Ten Most Favorite Books" list. I first read this book probably 25 years ago and have re-read it at different stages in my life since then. It appeals to me on so many levels - the history in it appeals to me as a middle school history teacher, the gentle romance appeals to that part of me that enjoys happy endings, and the theme of Christian healing appeals to me as a Christian Scientist. This book is uplifting, inspiring, and a joy to read!
Karen Terrell, author of Blessings: Adventures of a Madcap Christian Scientist
Gone with the Wind of the Midwest.......2005-10-08
This was a wonderful reading experience. The author made the likable characters so likable. Knowing that the author Barbara Vroman lives in the rural Wisconsin area, made reading the book more personal. As a point of interest not mentioned in the book, the fire from the Peshtigo area actually spread over the bay to the Door Penninsula and killed 77 persons as marked at a wayside approximately 7 miles South of Sturgeon Bay. I look forward to reading her new book "The Experiment"
An unforgettable book!.......2004-04-26
I live near the Tomorrow River in Wis and I was lucky enough to find this book in a local second hand store, signed by the author! I was asking God to give me a sign that angels really do exist...and that is when I found this book by chance. This book is about so many things, it is about the history of Wisconsin and how the Indians lived here off the land. It is about the inner strenght many women have but do not know it. This book would make a great movie. It has been a long time since I enjoyed reading a book this much, not to mention that it remains an excellent reference source for Wisconsin and Civil War history. Do not start reading this book until you can devote at least a day to it, because it is hard to put down. Most of all the reader comes away with a feeling that YES, angels, God, and miracles really do exist....even when horrible things happen.
A Classic!.......2004-02-17
There has been only one other time in my life, when I read a book all night long, only to call in sick to work the next day in order to finish it! I esteem this novel right up there with "Gone With the Wind". It's a wonderful story! I just love it!
Couldn't stop reading it.......2001-08-22
I teach history at a private high school. Stumbled on this excellent book about 12 years ago because a student of mine brought it to class from home when we were studying the U.S. Civil War. That 15-year-old student was so captivated by the book she didn't even realize how much she was learning. I got hooked on it too, so I must have asked if I could borrow it. I do remember that I took it home and read it in a day. Then I ordered it for the school's library.
The story is extremely well told. The history is accurate: fiction based on truth.
Was just searching for another book and Tomorrow Is A River came up on the list. I'm taking the time to review it because I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a good read, or is interested in the mid-1800s or the history of Wisconsin. It really should be in every high school library.

Book Description
In a world whose seasons are defined by Christmas sales and Spring Fashions, hundreds of tiny nomes live in the corners and crannies of a human-run department store. They have made their homes beneath the floorboards for generations and no longer remember -- or even believe in -- life beyond the Store walls.
Until the day a small band of nomes arrives at the Store from the Outside. Led by a young nome named Masklin, the Outsiders carry a mysterious black box (called the Thing), and they deliver devastating news: In twenty-one days, the Store will be destroyed.
Now all the nomes must learn to work together, and they must learn to think -- and to think BIG.
Part satire, part parable, and part adventure story par excellence, master storyteller Terry Pratchett's engaging trilogy traces the nomes' flight and search for safety, a search that leads them to discover their own astonishing origins and takes them beyond their wildest dreams.
Customer Reviews:
A children's book for adults.......2007-05-15
These stories have everything. Humor, imagination, satire, an exciting plot, plucky characters, adn philosophical musings. Pratchett gently makes fun of religion and pomposity, making you laugh all the way.
As good as Discworld.......2007-05-12
I say this with a caveat. Some discworld novels just are not for kids. Also, I had no idea what these books were about when I bought this anthology so if it seems strange for a 34 year old to burst out laughing at a children's novel, just forgive me.
The fact that Terry Pratchett was the author was the reason I bought this and by the second page I was in love all over again. It was like finding a new discworld, this "store." Some of the absurdities that we adults take for granted in our crass commercialized world get a good seeing to from a child's point of view.
Pratchett's wit once again has bowled me over and I would recommend this to any child or adult that I know.
Great Terry Pratchett!.......2007-03-26
This book is a great read. Very interesting writing and yet simple enough my 3rd grader could read it too!
I highly recommend it to those that love sci-fantasy with a lot of humor.
Inventive, endearing, great read-aloud. .......2006-09-26
When we finished "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" I read this trilogy to my 11 year old daughter. What fun! The plot is lively, the characters are endearing and Pratchett gets his point about religion across with precise use of analogy. The story drags in places, but never for long. The witty dialogue and thought provoking ideas more than make up for it. I enjoyed it at least as much as my daughter did, if not more.
Oh my Gosh!.......2006-02-09
My teacher who has over 3,000 books in her classroom reccomended this book. And I also like Terry Pratchett. bUT THIS WAS A FLAT OUT DISSAPOINTMENT. I quit after the 1st 30 pages. He was very slow in his writings. And he overloads a tad on his British sense of humor.
If you like it thats great. But it was very dull and boring for me. No offense to all 14 or some 4 or 5 star reviews. But I do reccomend Only You Can Save Mankind ( Terry Pratchet). It it's a great book about a computer game with connections to aliens. I also reccomend any book by Cornelia Funke. Inkheart and The Theif Lord are my personal favorites. And 2 of my most favorite series are A Series of Unfortunate Events and Harry Potter. Reading Rocks. Get off the computer and read a book!

Book Description
Somewhere out there, the ship is waiting to take them home . . .
Here's what Masklin has to do: Find Grandson Richard Arnold (a human!). Get from England to Florida (possibly steal jet plane for this purpose, as that can't be harder than stealing the truck). Find a way to the "launch" of a "communications satellite" (whatever those are). Then get the Thing into the sky so that it can call the Ship to take the nomes back to where they came from.
It's an impossible plan. But he doesn't know that, so he tries to do it anyway. Because everyone back at the quarry is depending on him -- and because the future of nomekind may be at stake . . .
Customer Reviews:
The Book of Nomes.......2004-10-26
DON'T READ THIS BOOK INTILL YOU READ THE FIRST TWO BOOKS IN THE BROEIMLEAD TRILOGY. This book is about when Masklin (a nome) trys to find this one ship that while supposedly send the nomes to a different planet. This ship is faster than light. The one thing that leads them their is a thing. This thing is like a box with lots of electric inside, and only if this thing is by something that is powered by electric it works. Now in this book Masklin, Gurder, Angalo, and the thing go out to find the ship. At the beginning they fly on a airplane to Florida. When they get their they find more nomes (which they never knew that there was any other nomes). Now they have get the ship to them somehow. Read this wing of a book to find if they find the ship.
Solid conclusion.......2004-05-12
The Bromeliad trilogy soars to a grand finale with "Wings," the companion volume to "Truckers" and "Diggers." This tale runs parallel to the second book of the series, and brimming over with Terry Pratchett's usual wit and satire... and a mild dose of insanity.
Now that humans are returning to the quarry where the tiny nomes live, the nomes must somehow find a new place to live -- and fast. So Masklin is following the instructions of the Thing (a computer who is smarter than all the other characters put together) and going on a secret mission with Angalo and the Abbot to Florida.
After they sneak aboard the Concorde, freak out the stewardess and hijack the plane, the nomes learn that none other than Richard Arnold (grandson of Arnold Bros, founder of The Store) is on board. Now they must somehow send the Thing into space, so it can contact the spaceship and whisk the nomes away. Easy? No way.
Technically, anybody who has read the end of "Diggers" will know exactly what will happen in "Wings." But like flying on the Concorde, it's the ride that's half the thrill. "Wings" is a little tighter and funnier than its predecessors, partly because it has a much smaller cast -- the small bickering trio, plus the Thing. It doesn't get much better than that.
The nomes are fun protagonists, partly because they're so likably naive about the world in general. If they were left alone, they would probably produce a cute little civilization, and their naivete produces plenty of entertaining humor (Concerning the sound barrier: "All right, own up. Who broke it?"). Pratchett manages to make us laugh with the nomes, not at that.
The long-suffering Masklin has a new slew of problems the moment he leaves, ranging from the Thing refusing to talk to him to Angalo razzing the stewardesses. Atheistic Angalo and the abbot just avoid biting out each other's throat. But it's the Thing's dry, superior guidance that really steals the show.
Pratchett brings his Bromeliad trilogy to a close full of action, suspense, and frogs. A witty and wild ride on the Concorde, and not one to be missed.
Hilarious WINGS.......2003-03-26
My Dad has been reading Terry Pratchett books and he thought I'd like this one. He was right! You should read this book , because it is very funny and exciting. The book is about three nomes that got stuck on Earth and need to take a space shuttle home. The nomes get a lot of useful help from Thing, a machine. But too bad when Thing runs out of "pow" (power)!
I don't have the first two books from this trilogy but I am getting them next!
Not only very funny, but very intelligent as well........2001-05-10
Wings is the third and final volume of the Bromeliad (following Truckers and Diggers).
Masklin, Gurder and Angalo have just left the quarry and are heading to the airport in hope to go to Florida, where they can put the Thing on a space shuttle so that it can call the Ship. Following Grandson Richard, 39, they board the Concorde.
What somewhat surprised me with Wings is that it's not only the conclusion to a tremendous adventure: the story really gets a level deeper, as the relationship between the nomes and the Thing develops. And don't worry, you still get those hilarious puns such as the one about frogs who have "such a tiny life cycle it still had trainer wheels on it"!
The Bromeliad trilogy is a gripping story, extremely funny and easy to read, but it's also a story about how the world around you can always amaze you if you only look a bit further than just at your direct neighbourhood. I highly recommend it to both children and grown-ups alike!
Great book.......2001-02-06
I've read all three books in the Bromeliad series and found them very interesting, touching, and funny (and I've heard the audio version of Diggers and feel the narrator did a great job). Just to let people who haven't read any of these books know, the first (Kirkus) reviewer spelled two of the characters names wrong...making me wonder if he really read or listened to any of these books before giving his review.
