Book Description
THE STEEL BREAKFAST ERA by Carlton Mellick III (w/ tattoos by Pooch)
A nightmarishly absurd story that is like "RE-ANIMATOR" meets "NAKED LUNCH" during the zombie apocalypse.
Plot: The living dead conquered the Earth almost a century ago, leaving only small isolated communities of survivors spread across the shattered-earwig landscape. One such community has been locked away in a New York City high-rise. Breeding like cockroaches for many generations, their civilization has almost completely deteriorated into a mess of insane ones and those infested with parasites that mutate flesh into steel-string sculptures. There is nothing to live for, no chance for hope. Except for one man, not yet effected by the parasites, who finds hope after he creates a wife out of the human body parts that litter the hallways and gets rescued by a group of zombie-shredding warriors from Japan (where the citizens have evolved into anime-like mechazoid characters). This tattoo-illustrated avant-garde novel is rising cult author, Carlton Mellick III, at his darkest and most horrific.
THE DECADENT RETURN OF THE HI-FI QUEEN AND HER EMBRYONIC REPTILE INFECTION by Simon Logan
The Hi-Fi Queen is resurrected after almost being killed in an ambush by another gang and rises once more to claim back the territory that was once hers. Set in a world of constant gang warfare and corporate subterfuge, she must first re-brand herself then assemble a new crew to help her in her fight. Pirate radio broadcasters, graffiti artists, black-marketing men and skaters alike are all caught up in her quest for revenge, for not only must the gang be strong ... but it must have a proper marketing campaign to match.
In "HI-FI QUEEN," Logan takes us deeper into his world of industrial-style fiction, expanding upon the grounding set forth in his highly successful underground hit "I-O" and bringing it to another level with threads of dark, bleak humour.

Tetsuo meets Dawn of the Dead..........2007-08-29
First, I'd like to address the complaints about this book (Carlton Mellick III's Steel Breakfast Era) not having a point. The people who say this probably don't read much. Not all books have a point or at least have a point that's clear. It seems like some people feel threatened when they don't understand something.
The bizarro (or surrealist/absurdist ect) genre is a strange one. It's for people who like weird things. If you don't.. then no, you have no business reading the book and then complaining that it's too weird or that it lacks a point. I don't read romance novels and then complain that there was too much emotion and not enough action.
Okay, so on with CM3's novella. As one reviewer complained.. the syntax is different. Different from traditional writing and also from the author's later work. But don't worry, it's not at all distracting like some of Kenji Siratori's work (but that's a WHOLE different animal).
Think Dawn of the Dead meets Return of the Living Dead Part 3 directed by the guy who did Tetsuo the Iron Man. I even got a little Cronenberg vibe, too. Now, I know it may seem like I'm just name dropping. That may turn people off but let me explain. For people who are not familiar with the bizarro genre or Mellick's work, the easiest thing to do is to compare it to things that those readers may be familiar with. Fans of Tetsuo may have never heard of this book or author but may very well enjoy it.
As one reviewer complained, there is a detached feeling that doesn't bode well for people looking for an emotional attachment to the characters. I say, so what? There are plenty of books (classics and otherwise) I have read that lacked characters I cared about. Look at Cormac McCarthy. He gets raved about but his books lack any real connection to the characters. I'm not saying that they are bad books.. but just that some great books lack certain aspects that we may be used to.
Oh, and there is plenty of awesome gore and very interesting characters. Honestly, the imagery is a strong point "The Steel Breakfast Era" and is probably one of the main strengths of the author whose work I happen to enjoy a lot.
One negative thing (if you can call it that) is that I felt like it could have been longer. That's the problem I have with a lot of CM3's work.. because I enjoy each story so much, I want MORE of it. Maybe a sequel would be nice. Or a film. I can see this being turned into a film, for sure. But I think it'd have to be directed by a cutting edge Japanese director.. as they seem to have a crazier grasp on things.
Anyway, "The Steel Breakfast Era" is a gore punk sci-fi biological horror story complete with sex, zombies, and some humor, too.
good for action stories.......2007-01-26
The two stories are action stories. Want a gross little action story, read steel breakfast era. Want hyper violent action story, read the decadent return. But, just like action movies, the stories aren't full of depth.
Get this for Mellick's Story.......2007-01-25
Carlton Mellick III gives us his own interpretation of "Frankenhooker" mixed with Terry Gilliam style surrealism. Zombies, gore, sex, and machine people are all here for your reading enjoyment. While the story is exciting and engaging, it does not seem to have the depth I normally associate with Mellick's works. Not to say there isn't subtext, there are some interesting ideas on the power the female body can hold and the consumption of men (a common theme to Mellick), but it does not seem as fully explore as in "Razor Wire Pubic Hair," or "the Haunted Vagina." If your new to Mellick, get one of the other books I mentioned to give him a try. If you're already a Bizarro fan, make sure you take the time to read this unique zombie tale.
Interesting Take on Zombies .......2006-02-20
Unlike other zombie fiction where the dead suddenly rise from the ground and people are forced to figure out what's going on and deal with it, "The Steel Breakfast Era" begins in a future where the zombies have already taken over and people have been forced to live in remote areas and cramped bunkers. Most of society has adapted to this lifestyle and are resigned to continue with it, but one man has had enough. He constructs a woman from body parts and joins up with a gang of warriors to fight the zombies and try to take back a part of humanity that has died long ago.
The book is filled with Mellick's usual blend of surrealistic imagery and graphic horror violence. Comprised of short chapters and fast paced narratives, this is one of the better additions to the zombie genre in recent years. This is the first of two Mellick books I've found to be comparable to "On the Far Side of Cadillac Desert With Dead Folks" (a western/zombie/postapocolyptic story by Joe R. Lansdale), the second being "Sex and Death in Television Town." I would recommend this to any fan of cross genre horror/SF fiction, as it draws from so many influences and yet remains completely original.
The Simon Logan story is also pretty good. It is also set in a bleak future, and pokes fun at the corporate world. Truthfully, I don't remember as much from it as I did from the Mellick book. I do remember that it was a fast read and interesting idea, but I have yet to pick up any more by this author.
Japanese-style industrial wastelands.......2005-09-29
There are two very good stories in this book. If you like Japanese cult cinema you should enjoy both of them immensely. I'm surprised these authors aren't Japanese, because they capture the attitude of pseudo-cyberpunk Japan perfectly. The abstract post-apocalypse backdrop sets a dreary and hopeless tone for these dark tales. I really liked the descriptions and bizarre situations. Though most of the characters are inhuman and hard to relate to, they are disturbingly interesting to follow. I plan to read more books by these authors. I've already read Mellick's Razor Wire Pubic Hair, but I'm excited to get into more Simon Logan as well. These are two promising new authors. Give them a try if you're interested in reading something a little different.
Book Description
Hailed as one of the United States' greatest writers of historical fiction, Eugenia Price presents the stirring events and everyday happenings of Georgia's St. Simons Island. This story of one remarkable woman, Anne Couper Fraser, and her passionate yet intricate marriage to John Fraser, will thrill millions of readers worldwide.When the Frasers finally return to beautiful St. Simons Island, the one place on earth Anne longs to be, John says that he must follow his father-in-law's example and farm with slave labor is he is to support his family. The Coupers sincerely believe that these people are better off under their benevolence than they would be free. But soon Anne must ask herself if the kindness with which they treat their slaves justifies this Southern institution, and if a sacrifice she has asked of John is too great for their once-perfect marriage to endure.

Good Sequel.......2001-12-28
This book is the sequel to "Bright Captivity", which began the saga of Anne Couper Fraser, her marriage to John Fraser of England, and her years spent in London. This books opens with the return of the Frasers to St. Simons Island. If you are have read other Eugenia Price books, you will be re-acquainted with the McKays of Savannah, the Goulds of St. Simons and others. The Coupers were one of the noble families of the Georgia Coast in the mid-1800's. Anne's life is one of great love and great sorrow. I came to love her as a sister throughout the trilogy. Sometimes I wanted to shake her -- mostly I wanted to sit and have a long talk. You will also enjoy her relationship with her "Eve", whose devotion to Anne is complete. I highly recommend this book, and the entire Georgia Trilogy, to fans of Eugenia Price and anyone else who enjoys fiction based on real-life people from our past. I hated for the third book to end.
Dealing with death.......2000-08-05
Without realizing the focus of the book, I found the beginning a bit depressing. Eugenia Price, though, showed the mercy of God toward those who mourn. Anne Couper Fraser is prepared through the grief of others to face her own personal tragedy. She grows in selflessness as the book progresses, gaining strength from God and learning to comfort others. Excellant read on the whole with information divulged through dialog, not lengthy thought sessions.
I loved it!.......1999-08-31
I found the love between Anne and John to be a thing of beauty and maybe something we don't know much about now-a-days. Devoted love that puts the other person first is not emphasized much in our new modern age! I would like to have seen John's struggle with slavery and/or the military come to some resolution but the scene of his death left me in tears. It reminded me to appreciate my own family members while they are here. I would have no problem at all recommending this book to anyone looking for a nice long novel to cuddle into a comfy chair with. Thanks Eugenia Price!
luke-warm.......1999-02-07
This book skips around alot in my opinion. Although Anne has finally gotten John to return to her childhood home and settle down she is very troubled by his restlessness. John on the other hand is plaigued through the entire book with inner conflicts- his love for Anne which keeps him on the island, his immense longing for the military, which he adores, and his hate for having to be a slave owner. These troubles keep up with John and, in my opinion are never really solved. I think Anne and John's immense love for each other is the only thing good about the book. And even that is shattered at the end. I was very disappointed when I finished this book. Some advice-Don't read the sequel!

A pretty good self help book from a Christian perspective.......1999-10-18
As Dr. Beighley is a colleague of mine, I am a bit biased, but after having read MANY self help books to be aware of what my patients are reading, I found SHADOWS to be interesting and entertaining. It is at times inspiring.

Book Description
tarfish lit the fuse. Maelstrom was the explosion. But five years into the aftermath, things aren't quite so simple as they once seemed . . . Lenie Clarke-rifter, avenger, amphibious deep-sea cyborg-has destroyed the world. Once exploited for her addiction to dangerous environments, she emerged in the wake of a nuclear blast to serve up vendetta from the ocean floor. The horror she unleashed -an ancient, apocalyptic microbe called behemoth-has been free in the world for half a decade now, devouring the biosphere from the bottom up. But she has learned something in the meantime: she destroyed the world on false pretenses. Now, rifters and the corporate elite who created them cower at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, hiding from a world in its death throes. But they cannot hide forever: something lethal has found them in the depths. Something which has either violated the laws of physics to follow them here, or arisen from treachery within their own ranks. Suddenly, the rifters and their one-time masters remember that they are enemies. And the only thing standing between them is a woman with the blood of a world on her hands

Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-04
According to Watts, this is one of those American split the book in two deals. Not having read the earlier two as yet, what I would characterise this as most like would be 'Revelation Ocean' rather than 'Revelation Space', with that everybody is out to get everybody type of feel with the Ultras.
You have here modified humans whose brains work differently, opposed to their wealthy creators, and crazy viruses, both organic and machine affecting everyone.
Interesting, though. Maybe a 3.75, because this is not yet finished, as two of the architects of the mess go back up to the ground to see if they can finish things off.
Life after Behemoth? .......2007-06-04
If _Maelstrom_ showed how the world ended, in _Behemoth: Book One: B-Max_, the reader gets to see what life is like after it is all over, at least among some of the survivors.
For the most part, the world of the _Starfish_ novels (the _Rifters_ trilogy, though technically the third book had to be split into two books for publishing reasons) has shrunk to a single location for this novel, a community established at the end of _Maelstrom_ (if community is the word one would use), a sometimes-friends, more-often-enemies collection of rifters and corpses located at the bottom of the mid-Atlantic Ocean. The corpses in desperation had established an underwater city that they hoped was going to make them not only safe from Behemoth (though they also had medical fixes to make themselves immune to Behemoth) but also any reprisals by a spastic, presumably dying world that was lashing out at both old foes and those presumed to be responsible for the world-ending plague. The rifters, lead by Lenie Clarke and Ken Lubin, found the corpses, at first with thoughts to exact revenge, but instead gradually were forced to work together by various circumstances, chief among them the facts that they were isolated from the rest of the world and were unsure who outside their underwater domain was left alive (and afraid to go looking thanks to the both incredibly hostile electronic lifeforms called Lenies and also a real fear of reprisals from nations and powers outside of North America).
Much of the action centers on the swirling politics of the Mid Atlantic Ridge community, largely from the point of view of the rifters, though there was a thread on the spiraling descent into completely amoral evil of the enormously powerful Achilles Desjardins. Readers from _Maelstrom_ will recall that not only is he free from Guilt Trip he is free from guilt of any kind, yet he still possesses the incredible powers of a `lawbreaker, needed now more than ever (and the powers that be are still completely unaware of his changed mental status). Though they weren't too graphic, I will say the chapters exploring the mind of Desjardins were pretty intense and somewhat disturbing, though some of it was a building sick dread, based on information the author gave to the reader bit by bit, and part of it was my imagination of what happened next after the book's focus switched back to the rifters and corpses.
I didn't think the book was quite a strong as either _Starfish_ or _Maelstrom_ and some of the stridently one-note political attitudes of some of the rifters got tiring and too much time spent at the underwater city made the setting feel a bit claustrophobic (though it did really help drive home themes of the rifters' and corpses' isolation and the destruction of the world). I also felt Watts could have developed some of the corpses a bit more, though as the books are really about the rifters that is understandable. Still, a good book and it held my interest. I am reading book two of _Behemoth_ at the moment and am enjoying it greatly.
ultra dark and gritty action-packed thriller.......2004-07-27
Five years have passed since a vengeful cyborg Lenie Clarke released Behemoth on the world destroying everything in it path as the microbe is eating up matter. Digital monsters add to the pandemic devastation using Clarke as a rallying cry to devastate survivors through what is left of the Internet. Meltdown Madonna cults dedicated to Clarke pledge mass suicide as they rule alongside deadly war lords on the surface.
However, on the ocean floor, Lenie Clarke has learned the truth that her grudge was built on a false premise. As the altered rifters and the technoindustrial corporate executives hide in fear in Atlantis on the ocean floor of the Midatlantic Ridge, the grim reaper comes for them. Only Lenie Clarke can save the few, but first she must face the consequences of what she wrought for she knows she can never achieve salvation as she can not wash the blood from her hands even with water everywhere.
As with STARFISH and MAELSTROM, BEHEMOTH: B-MAX is an ultra dark and gritty action-packed thriller yet the tale as with the first two books is character driven especially by Lenie. The story line moves forward at a current faster than most science fiction novels, but contains irony throughout as Lenie learns the truth and like Lady Macbeth cannot simply wash the blood from her hands. Though B-Max is book one of a two book conclusion , this is a well written gripping entry, but fans of post apocalypse thrillers would be better served by waiting a few months for the release of the climatic novel and then read all four books in succession.

Exciting sci-fi!.......2004-06-29
Not only was this book believable and its characters eerily recognizable, in regards to such tense people in our own reality, but it compliments virtually every other sci-fi available, from the space operas like "Starship Troopers", "2001", "2010", "Rendezvous with Rama", "Advent of the Corps", but incorporates the high tech level of cyberpunk like "Neuromancer", "Prey", "Snow Crash", "Cyber Hunter", and many more. Great read!
The best so far!.......2004-06-26
Before I can review the content of Peter Watts' "Behemoth: B-Max" there are two facts I need to mention. The first is that it represents the third book of a trilogy, and I would strongly recommend one tackle the first two volumes ("Starfish" and "Maelstrom") before reading this one. The second is that "Behemoth" should be one six hundred page book, but because of trends in the publishing industry it's being published as two separate volumes. The author is completely forthright about this fact, and I believe him when he says that this was not his preferred method of publication. Because of this approach, precious little is resolved in this first volume; so if you aren't a fan of cliff hangers, you might want to wait until "Behemoth: Seppuku" is published in late 2004/early 2005 to read this volume.
For those of you who are new to the series, here is a brief synopsis that should tell you whether or not these books are for you. Essentially, the story arc is about evolution: human, animal and electronic. By mixing a blend of biology, computer science and chaos theory, Watts has created a near future Earth where man is simultaneously at the height of his powers and walking the knife's edge of total ecological failure. In an effort to maintain the high standard of Western living mankind has turned to deep sea geothermal power to meet their energy needs. Miles below the ocean, specially engineered humans culled from the dregs of society maintain these power plants. However, what no one could have expected was that they would encounter an organism that would unleash an apocalypse. Part hard science-fiction, part post-apocalyptic, the first two books represent a genuinely original voice in the genre.
All that said, "Behemoth" represents another superb piece of writing by Watts; it contains all the tension and fascinating science of the earlier volumes, but also displays his increasing talent. The structure of the book is more sophisticated and subtle than the previous volumes, and I say this not to criticize the earlier books, but to highlight the strengths of this one.
Set five years after the events of "Maelstrom", "Behemoth" finds the remaining rifters and the surviving North American elite living in an uneasy truce on the floor of the Atlantic. Presumably safe from the disease that is ravaging the rest of the world, they have managed to come to an accommodation that allows everyone to live and let live. Foremost among the rifters are Lubin, the one time spy, and Lenie Clarke, the Meltdown Madonna herself. Opposite them is Patricia Rowan, their one time nemesis and sometime ally. Alone, they might have formed a shifting but stable triangle; however, their constituents, particularly the more militant rifters, force a situation that is never far from open warfare. This dichotomy is beautifully executed by Watts, and represents a shift in his approach. Where much of the tension in the prior two books was environmental, in "Behemoth" he has created a human drama that surpasses its astonishing location.
In contrast from the fragile existence on the ocean floor, the reader is presented with the contrast of Achilles Desjardins, the human god who fights chaos for the CSIRA. While occupying perhaps only a third of the book, these chapters are the most powerful. Consisting only of Achilles' thoughts, history and worldview, they paint a comprehensive portrait of one of the most powerful men on Earth. Perhaps most remarkable is that Watts makes him despicable and sympathetic at the same time, all while keeping him something of an enigma.
Given the fact that this is the third book of a trilogy, and further given the split nature of the title, any more attempts at a plot summary would risk grave spoilers. Simply put, it is science fiction as it should be written. Watts uses his setting as a means to consider our slow suicide as a species in the form of ecological decay, and the complex, and ultimately unknowable workings of the mind. He separates himself from much of what is on the market by injecting humanity and pathos into his writing; his world, no matter how brilliantly conceived and executed, is a means to a greater end. This stands in stark contrast to other "hard" SF novels which exist solely to cram technical information into a fictional setting while ignoring such fundamentals as plot and characterization.
What is perhaps most engaging about Watts' books is that he has made the mundane unique and terrifying. No one gives much though to the web as an environment, but he sees an electronic landscape filled with predators and prey. Most of us think of the ocean as the beach, but Watts reveals a world every bit as alien as the surface of another planet. Finally, his attention to detail is superb, without being overwhelming. Watts' world is replete with history, but much of it is only alluded to; this creates a world that is weighed down by history, and a novel that isn't. An excellent example of this detail is his web site. I can't post the URL here, but a simple web search will turn it up. There one can find mountains of what one might call "side-story" it doesn't fill in any gaps per se, but it does further flesh out the Earth of the 2050's.
If you're a fan, a probably have said more than I needed to to sell you on this book. However, if you are new to the series, I hope I have managed to pass on the incredible originality and superb writing Watts has to offer. This is a trilogy that is unique in my experience, and "Behemoth" represents the best contribution thus far. This is definitely not one to be missed.
Enjoy!

Book Description
An examination of the Scientific Revolution that shows how the mechanistic world view of modern science has sanctioned the exploitation of nature, unrestrained commercial expansion, and a new socioeconomic order that subordinates women.

A landmark, if flawed work.......2006-06-02
Merchant's book is the only one out there which incorporates the history of environmental degradation with the history of ideas and ideology. I had never considered the power of "mechanism" as an ideology; I had assumed it was an objective account of natural processes as they actually occur. So, that was a good point the book brings into the center of the discussion. But the problem is that this idea of mechanism is inadequately theorized in this book. Where did it come from? How did it become the authoritative worldview? I read Merchant's "Radical Ecology" published 20 years later, and the idea of mechanism is still underdeveloped here too. The world is corpuscular, mechanical, lifeless -- why? Says who? Why do they start saying it? There are links here to Protestantism, but Merchant does not realize this.
Boring ad nauseum.......2003-09-05
This is, without a doubt, the most boring book I've ever read. The analogies are absolutely ridiculous and the imagery--Please!
The best part of this book was the Preface & Introduction. After that, it went downhill and so did my interest. Had to fight to stay awake from sentence to sentence.
Flat treatment of important topic.......2000-07-26
This is a book on the important topic of ecofeminism. The author wants to show how the modern destruction of nature and our environment ties in with the subjugation of women during the same period. However, to understand how these assaults occurred, we have to first examine the history of ideas. As Merchant shows, these destructive attitudes toward women and nature reflect changing ideas of how we think about people and our place in the world. What characterizes this new way of thinking which began about 500 years ago is the idea that trees, colors, ideas, people, in short, the entire cosmos, are really just the mechanical actions of matter in motion, no matter how much things may seem otherwise. From this modern perspective, the natural world and everything in it really amounts to a gigantic machine in motion, thereby debasing our ordinary experience of that world. Nonetheless, this reduction of things to numbers greatly helps the rise of modern science, especially technology, by showing how mathematics can be applied concretely and experimentally to just about everything there is. Moreover, during this period, how people think about society also changes. Society too is conceived as a colossal machine, a human one, possessing definite structures, with components conceived as self-contained and independent little atoms, who associate with one another not because of inner need but because of external advantage. Thus, moral philosophy too, follows modern thinking by becoming a credo of "it's okay for the selfish man to get ahead in life", while economic science becomes a means of determining how we can all get ahead without destroying the social fabric. Or, put another way, we're really only interested in ourselves, but cooperate with others as a means of gaining our own ends and avoiding a consuming war of all against all. It's not too hard to see the seeds of destructive assault in such thinking.
Nature thus undergoes a profound change from the traditional conception of nurturing mother to one of dead machine, that is, from an object of affection to an object of subjugation and exploitation. Correspondingly, the traditionally moral way of looking at our natural surroundings changes to a non-moral, strictly neutral, it-is-there-to-be-used point of view. Moreover, these new aggressive attitudes are associated with how men should act, are supposed to act; while women,on the other hand, are thought of (like nature) as passive, there-to-be-used objects of exploitation. Such thinking thus enables industry and technology to historically combine in an ongoing assault upon the environment, on one hand, and women, on the other. What is needed, of course, is a new way of thinking that will end these horrific abuses - What has changed, can be changed. Unfortunately, Merchant treats this fascinating subject in a lifeless manner. She walks through the historical precedents in dry, uninspired, and thoroughly descriptive fashion, leaving the impression of an embroidered postgraduate dissertation. Her thesis cries out for greater color, synthesis and argumentation. As a student of the humanist philosopher Theodore Roszak, she could use more of his chutzpah.
This insightful book unpeels the scientific revolution........1999-06-16
Merchant sets the record straight in this powerful, straightforward book. She illustrates the abuses of political power that drove the scientific revolution, dethrones its "father," Sir Francis Bacon, and unravels the presumption of the scientific, paternal myth. This scholarly book provides the reader with the knowledge to ask the right questions and demand answers: about ecology, nature, the economics of science, and the torture and sexualization of the feminine. And even better, Merchant gifts us with the opportunity to imagine something better.
