Reading Van Reid's first novel, Cordelia Underwood, is a little like moving to a small town where everyone knows everybody else and has for generations. Certainly the novel boasts a cast of if not thousands, at least dozens of characters ranging from the spirited title character, Cordelia, to a bear named Maude. The story, such as it is, begins in the year 1896 and involves a mysterious inheritance--a parcel of land in the north of Maine that Cordelia's Uncle Basil has left to her. But readers will find themselves less interested in Uncle Basil's bequest than in the kaleidoscope of eccentrics who involve themselves in it. The subtitle of Reid's novel is The Marvelous Beginnings of the Moosepath League, and it is with the formation of this secret club that much of the novel concerns itself. Every character has a story to tell and each fresh tale seems to spawn another; there are balloon ascensions, phantom sailors, mysterious notes, and determined suitors; fortunately, everyone is so charming and their yarns so entertaining that you don't really mind the many, many digressions from the purported main point of the book, namely Cordelia and her inheritance. Set in the 19th century, Cordelia Underwood exhibits some of that century's literary conventions, as well--originally published in serial form in a regional newspaper, it is a sprawling tale populated with singular personalities and intended to entertain. In short, it's perfect reading for those long, lazy dog days of summer.
Book Description
In the idyllic summer of 1896 in Portland, Maine, several people are embarking on adventures of a most audacious and entertaining nature. The lovely Cordelia Underwood unexpectedly inherits a large parcel of land, and discovers that it holds an irresistible secret; it is her newfound friend, Tobias Walton--a man of a certain age and Pickwickian characteristics--who will eventually help her to unravel the mystery. In parallel journeys up the coast of Maine, Cordelia collects a handsome suitor and several opinionated relatives, and Mister Walton is soon accompanied by an entourage of hapless friends--the honorable members of the Moosepath League. Together this motley group encounters a colorful variety of true Maine eccentrics--from old salts to bootleggers, grande dames to prospective beaus--and find themselves embroiled in some good old-fashioned wonderment and laughter that includes a boxing match between two aging politicians, an escaped circus bear named Maude, a dastardly kidnapping, and the parachutist Mrs. Roberto in her attractive suit of tights! Superbly written, with a vivid sense of place and period, this is a book for any day that begs a few hours of pure delight.

Joyously funny.......2006-08-11
The Moosepath league series are fast becoming my favorite books after a lifetime of avid reading. The characters are joyfully delightful and woven into a yarn that is amusing, enchanting and at times magical. Take Charles Dickens Pickwickians, add some "Three Men in a Boat" charm, a liberal sprinkling of P.G. Wodehouse's comic situations, a little Jane Austen romance, a dash of "A Midsummer Night's Dream"'s magic; mix well and spread over a 19th century Maine landscape and you'll end up with this wonderful book. You must read it - however many stars I had to give, I'd give them all.
Excellent book.......2005-11-21
This book is sheer fun. I discovered it in a used book store and am buying the rest of the trilogy immediately. Before I was through with the book, I was looking into a vacation in Maine. Excellent.
A Kindred Spirit to Red Headed Anne.......2004-02-05
Van Reid has crafted a delightfully charming work. CORDELIA UNDERWOOD actually made me, a deep-fried Southern Belle, dream of adventuring in the very New England setting inhabited by the members of the MOOSEPATH LEAGUE. I look forward with great anticipation to reading all the books in the series and sincerely hope that there will be many more escapades to read about in years to come. If you are a fan of Miss Read's English villages, Jan Karon's Mitford, and L.M. Montgomery's ANNE OF GREEN GABLES, then Van Reid's Maine missives are for you!
Delightful story, beautifully told.......2003-01-25
Van Reid has a magic way with words. In "Cordelia Underwood" he has created each character (and there are many of them)with wit and insight. His characters understand the importance of kindness and respect. They are also, with a couple necessary exceptions, game for adventure, especially when that concerns helping a friend or rescuing a "damsel in distress" (who turns out pretty good at helping herself). There are stories within stories and intersecting adventures, and I found each a delight. They all fit together into as pleasurable a novel as I have ever read. You won't regret reading this.
Great start to the trilogy.......2002-11-14
Van Reid is an amazing story teller. There are many great stories within the larger story. This book was great, albeit a little slow in places. If you liked it at all, you should continue on to the other two books in the triology which just keep getting better.

*NOT A FAVOURITE*.......2006-07-22
I love Susan Johnson novels! But this was okay, not a favourite of mine. So, so. Just okay on the erotic. Hope this helps.
This book's stories are neither sexy or interesting.......2002-01-04
In reading this anthology, I realized why I tend to stay away from short stories: even good authors may be unable to create a worthwhile story in relatively few pages. There is definitely a talent and also a honed skill needed to accomplish character development and sufficient plot in the space allotted. I initially picked up this book because the title led me to believe that the stories might be fun, funny, amusing...which they are not in any way -- rather the stories are all quite serious and not what I expected (as others have noted the blurbs on the back cover are untrue.) In one story a woman wants to have sex with a male slut she somehow learned about because she thinks she is dying -- how is that naughty? In another, a woman trying to divorce her scary husband has not-very-exciting sex with a stranger in a bar and we then follow them as they try to extricate her from her marriage. The last story about the woman who has sex for the first time with a man who yelled at her for "encouraging" a near rape while sunbathing fully clothed left me cold. Susan Johnson is the first author in the book and recognizing her name and her usually good stories led me to expect a lot more than is delivered here. I usually enjoy her work, but in this case I actively hated the story almost by the 10th page. Johnson takes what I consider her worst characteristic -- a tendency to be a little too anatomically descriptive -- and makes it into the entire story. This piece consists of a couple engaging in constant unemotional sex without any foreplay, which is not of interest, I would think, to most readers in this genre. More importantly, the sex scenes are BORING! Then she throws in some military/political hooha just to give it some kind of plot. The story would have been much more interesting had it acutally followed the plot listed on the back cover in which debutantes make the bet, rather than bored society matrons in Vienna. Save your money and buy a good Susan Johnson book, rather than this anthology.
A weaker anthology.......2001-07-28
I enjoyed much of "Rough Around the Edges," so it was with some pleasure that I bought this seemingly-similar anthology of stories. Unfortunately, none of the stories in this volume really stands out as particularly erotic or enjoyable.
In theory, Susan Johnson's style should work well in the novella form. Her mix of history and seemingly-endless imaginative sex by well-endowed characters seems well-fitted for the short form, especially considering her particular style doesn't often seem to call for real emotional development between the characters. In fact, her story in "Rough Around the Edges" was one of the stronger in the volume. But her contribution in this volume seemed lacking. There seemed even less emotional development than is even typical for Johnson, and the history didn't seem all that interesting. A disappointment.
Logan's contribution seems the strongest, with decent character and romantic development mixed in with a nice little "suspense" type plot. The erotic scenes were well-done.
I really liked the hero of Adrianne Lee's story, and although I found the heroine's "quest" a little unrealistic, I enjoyed the story.
Winston's contribution is also very strong. It's the story with the most romantic development between the characters.
All in all, there are better anthologies out there.
3 Stars Just For The Sake Of The Lesser-Known Authors.......2001-06-01
Although short stories aren't always the truest introduction to an author, I've read enough Susan Johnson to realize that I'm not going to read her anymore. She is the best-known author in this anthology, but her story is the worst. As another reviewer has already pointed out, the book blurb regarding her story is totally deceptive. Her characters are shallow, their relationship unfathomable, and the language used in the sex scenes is jarring, considering the time setting of this story.
The story by Leandra Logan, seemed as though there was too much story trying to be crammed into too few pages, so the story felt choppy to me. The initial sex scene set up as a one-night-stand didn't seem true to the female lead. There were some interesting secondary characters, but the story form is just too short to allow adequate development of that many characters.
I felt that the stories by Adrianne Lee and Anne Marie Winston were the best of the bunch. The characters were better developed, the sexual tension better maintained, and storyline flowed better. I would recommend the book for the sake of these authors. I don't know if they have written anything else, but I'm certainly going to find out.
Worst book I have ever read..........2001-05-14
If Amazon.com has 0 for rating this is the one for it. I'm not recommended this book for anyone because it's not worth the money. I'm still regret it. All four stories are not quite acceptable to be published and not suit for the name "Naughty Naughty'. Even one of my favorite, Susan Johnson. I think she has lost a lot of her touch in writing.

Interesting early Asimov "Empire" novel.......2007-09-09
This is a very early work by the great Isaac Asimov that is set in the same Universe as his Foundation series. In this work, Mankind has colonized far and wide in the Galaxy, but there is no Galactic Empire or other unifying political entity. Planets are organized in small "kingdoms" of one or more planets, warfare is common, and humans still remember that Earth is the original planet of humanity. Thus, this novel is set in a time long after the 50 Spacer Worlds era, but long before the Foundation series, and even before "The Currents of Space" (where man had mostly forgotten that Earth is humanity's home world, and the Trantorian Republic is evolving into the Empire).
This is a rather basic story of a young nobleman who is opposing a tyrannical star system and searching for a secret document which his late father (murdered by the tyrants) believed would put an end to the totalitarian governments in the Galaxy. More would be telling.
The writing in this one is not bad, if one's expectations are not too high, and there are some interesting twists and speculative concepts woven into the story. There are some quaint anachronisms, like the complete absence of computers for tasks that even in our day would be computerized, but overall this novel has aged well and holds the modern reader's interest.
A good read and an early work by one of Science Fiction's giants.
Great series and, yes, sadly out of print..........2006-08-11
To correct a few people here, there are (were) actually three books in the 'Galactic Empire Series'.
The Stars, Like Dust: A novel of the days when warring star kingdoms wrought havoc, before Trantor gained ascendancy in the galaxy.
The Currents Of Space: A novel of the period when Trantor ruled only half the galaxy, and every independent kingdom guarded it's right to corruption.
Pebble In The Sky: A novel of the time when Trantor ruled the galaxy, while Earth dreamed of it's ancient glory - and plotted revenge.
From the '87 and '89 Ballantine/Del Rey printings of the series...
IF you can find them, and read them, you would enjoy them... I think the series is a great 'pre-Asimov' set for readers new to his writing. IMO...
Undemanding fun.......2005-02-02
Many of Isaac Asimov's novels and short stories were actually mystery tales dressed up in the veneer of science fiction. But THE STARS LIKE DUST reminded me of a genre that I had not yet come across in his fiction: the thriller. The influences aren't enormous, but they're present. There's a hunt for a secret document, a political power struggle, and a puppet master directing the action from behind the scenes. And as successful as Asimov had been at incorporating the fundamentals of the detective novel into his own, he is similarly triumphant here. While there are definitely some rough spots, they come more from the pulp origins of this kind of story than from any other genre it incorporated.
First of all, this is a typically engaging and engrossing story. It's not Asimov at the absolute top of his game, but it's easy enough for the reader to keep turning these pages. Even when he's running on autopilot (as one suspects during part of the plot's introduction and some of the later, quieter moments), it's nothing short of fun and enjoyable.
Asimov's plotting is again quite good. Indeed, there are some elements of it that reminded me of portions of his other books (for example, there's a character who makes bold and logical predictions about the movement of individual important people -- a very small scale version of the psychohistory that would appear later in his FOUNDATION series). But as with most of Asimov's work, while I did find it to contain a lot of familiar touchstones, it still felt very fresh.
There were a few points that prevented me from placing this among the very top of Asimov's novels. Characterization is something that Asimov himself said he didn't always get right (though I will sometimes give him more credit than he gave himself) and, unfortunately, it's difficult to believe in the romance between the male and female leads. He usually stayed away from this kind of coupling, and it seemed clear that he seemed a lot less confident writing about male/female relationships than he did about molecules, planetary movements and other science facts.
Speaking of science, it's also easy to see why Asimov's non-fiction writing was so effortless to read. He's quite good at making potentially intimidating science speeches seem clear and simple. Of course, what he isn't always quite so good at is incorporating them seamlessly into his plots. This book more so than most of his that I've read seemed to have a bit too many places where the characters suddenly deliver science lectures to other characters for no real overriding reason (yes, they related to the plot, but could easily have been removed with no loss of reader understand occurring). It's not that they're confusing -- far from it. It just made me think that they were included mostly because Asimov liked talking about science more than for any other reason.
On the other hand, I did like the fact that the science was important to the story. Oftentimes in science fiction novels, the actual mechanics of life in the future is hand-waved away. While that is sometimes desirable (if the author is more interested in plot and character than scientific speculation), I do occasionally enjoy the type of conjectures on display here. During the story's chase/traveling sequences we get some fun thinking from Asimov about how future space travel will work. It's fascinating, if only to see what the cutting edge of thought was in the early 1950s. Asimov puts a lot of thought into how faster-than-light travel will take place. But, amusingly from a modern standpoint, he missed out on computers completely, having the mathematical calculations of interstellar travel taking place by hand using libraries of reference books!
At the time of writing this review, THE STARS LIKE DUST would appear to be out-of-print. Which is a shame because it's a nice, enjoyable story that doesn't deserve relegation to hard-to-find status. This isn't top-tier Asimov, so I can't truthfully recommend spending a lot of money. But if you find a good, cheap, used copy, it's well worth purchasing. I read the bulk of it while airplane traveling and it made for a very happy, undemanding companion.
WoW!.......2004-01-01
I think it's a matter of taste - vive le difference and all that. For me, personally, this book, as part of the Empire series actually knocks the socks off the Foundation series, but no matter.
Its very nice that you CAN get this second hand fairly easily, if it was scarce, I could see some case for banging it out and issuing it on the net. But that would be very undesirable.
This book really does rock. I read this when I was 15, and that was a good time to read this kind of stuff. Very happy memories.
In fact, thinking about it, there is a huge swag of books that I saw in that period, authored by Bob Shaw and Asimov and a whole load of others. Why is it that these people are not being printed? I find it very difficult to understand. There is a peculiar theory though. I don't really know if I believe it or not.
Together with the Tom Swift books, these authors have managed to paint a picture of some sort of alternative America / Britain. Lets see. In this world, the space race didn't end in the 70's, and Vietnam did not happen, or the Iran Contra thing. Instead, there was a joint effort (while there were the natural resources to do it) to launch an international space station in the late 70's, a colony on the moon in 1994, and the first landing on Mars in 2002. Incidently this first landing was a one way ticket, the astronaut in question volunteering to die over there 'cause there wasn't the technology to get back.
Etc.
But that did not happen, ergo, this fiction is redundant, the future did not happen. So now we have this kind of Gothic horror stuff about nano technology uber alles, the great enthusiasm of exploration zipped in favour of commercial expansion and militarism, and a dumbing down of science. How many teenagers want to learn about non linear differential equations? Where are our scientists going to come from, if no-one likes this stuff nowadays?
It's the latter that really frightens me. Beagle has landed but has either been shot down by the USA or just malfunctioned.
And it's 2004 now for goodness sake. We should be FAR more advanced than this!
Why did Isaac Asimov have to go when he did... We really do need this guy now,or someone with the same kind of vision....
Foundation basics........2003-12-20
After reading Asimov's Foundation and Robot Novels I decided to read the "hard-to-find" Empire novels, which are always referred to as mediocre.
On my opinion, this first part of the series shows much of the content that Isaac Asimov would use for it's Foundation & Robots series; I can't qualify it as mediocre, it's a fine book to read and the proof of the evolution in the career of a science fiction writer. I recommend it.

Fabulous REAL-FICTION stories.......2004-06-17
Asimov did a hell of a job gathering all his stories in a series of books. In The Complete Stories Vol. 1 his handwrittings from the 1940's just up to 1967 are printed in a wonderful science-fiction masterpiece. Asimov is well reknowned as the father of SciFi, and this stories demonstrate how he can write about politics, medicine, science, anthropology, or even sexuality. This book gives you down-to-earth, really involving stories, that will surely catch your attention. You'll find stories about the gigantic Multivac predicting electorial votes from just one person; a robot flirtering his bosses' wife; a super-intelligent computer who wants to comit suicide; and lots of different stories in a wide variety of topics, but all related to SciFi.

Asimov's Worst.......2006-12-29
With "Pebble in The Sky" (first published in 1950) awaiting publication, Asimov was asked by Walter Bradbury of Doubleday to come up with another idea for a novel. After a couple of non-starters, the premise for "The Stars, Like Dust" was agreed to. As Asimov was working on the novel, Frederik Pohl (acting as Asimov's agent at that time) informed him that Horace Gold was interested in publishing the novel as a serial in his new magazine "Galaxy". The one condition was that Horace Gold wanted to add a subplot about a mysterious document which had disappeared from Earth. Walter Bradbury also wanted to include the subplot in the book version of the story, and Asimov went along with it, although he clearly wasn't happy with the idea.
The general plot of the story (without the subplot) has potential, however, Asimov's loss of interest in the story becomes clear, and ultimately the story itself suffers greatly. Asimov considered this his worst novel, and it would be difficult to argue otherwise. The story was published under the name "Tyrann" from January through March of 1951 in "Galaxy" magazine, and was published in book form in March.
The story is set a few hundred years after Earth becomes radioactive. The hero is Biron Farrill who is the heir to the ruler of one of the planets which have been taken over by the Tyranni. Biron is also a student on Earth when he learns that his father has been executed for treason. He is convinced by a friend to seek refuge with the Hinriads on Rhodia (another of the planets). There he meets Artemisia, the Director's daughter, and Gillbret, a cousin of the Director. Each of them has a reason for trying to get off of Rhodia, and so they find themselves together out of need.
The plot is full of twists and turns and it could have been much more entertaining. Once again Asimov provides an afterword where he apologizes for some of the science. This book is usually linked with "Pebble in The Sky", and "The Currents of Space" as the three precursor novels to the "Foundation" series. Despite this, they are very different stories and each of them stands on their own. Of the three, "The Stars, Like Dust" takes place the earliest in Asimov's pre-foundation history.
The scientific problems in this story are not as central to the plot as they were in "Pebble in The Sky", but the plot devices are weak. As a result this is probably a good one to avoid unless you are a completist. Younger readers also might be a good audience for this book, however others are likely to be disappointed.

McCarthy's book is inspirational. I'm working on a manuscript on peace and writing, and sometimes the realities of the world raise serious doubts. When it becomes hard to believe in the possibility of peace, I open this book.
Teach our youth of a more practical solution: Peace.......2006-12-29
Very heart-felt, and gets to the core of many issues affecting us as a nation, and really does make you wonder "Why don't they teach Peace in school?".
This is a wonderful life-changing book........2005-03-19
I love McCarthy's book. His writing is enjoyable, which is how all writing should be. It was a pleasure to learn from this man.
I recently started studying anything I could find about peace and this book was the second one I read after searching at the local library.
I now have an idea how much literature there is out there about non-violence. McCarthy has successfully urged me to keep reading about this subject. Besides his occasional description of other sources, mentioned throughout his book, he even put a section at the end that lists additional authors and their titles, for further study.
As a result of reading his book, I find that I would like to help in any way I can to make the world a better place through teaching non-violence.
How to teach peace...and how to learn to be peaceful.......2003-10-18
In 2002, I read 101 books. "I'd Rather Teach Peace" was the best one.
Colman McCarthy tells stories about teaching people to resolve conflicts. He describes what worked and what didn't. He also tells you what his students taught HIM --- he's humble enough to know he's a student, too.
I learned that I don't think about peace enough. Now I think about it more and I keep an eye out for conflicts that I can help to resolve. I don't know exactly how to create peace around me, but thanks to Colman McCarthy I know I need to learn.
This is an inspiring and simple book. I'd gladly read another 100 just to stumble across something like this again.
It changed my stance from hardcore military to peace seeker.......2003-07-18
Get this book and absorb it! I have reviewed it for two publications and still marvel at its contents. This man changed my mind about the subject of peace, so give him a chance to reach you. Even if you are a diehard military person (I'm a former sergeant of the 101st Airborne) you will still see the common sense in what this man is teaching. His solutions will work, but only if enough of us heed his words and apply them. I wish every person in the world would read this book!
