Hot-Blooded Pirates Seduce the US Navy? Cool!.......2007-08-20
Amanda Garrett gets some inadvertent shore leave with an Indonesian pirate billionaire! The characters are great fun in this installment of the series, but Cobb has unfortunately written himself into a technological corner. Or, rather, the United States Navy has. Its machines and budgetary advantages over any possible opponents are so huge that Cobb has trouble creating scenarios where the bad guys have a chance of survival, let alone a chance of victory. This takes most of the tension out of the action scenes.
Amanda's dalliance with the pirate king, on the other hand, is a absolute hoot. So is reading all the reviews talking about her being "seduced" from her duties and behaving like a "slut." Ah, if she were a male captain and her seducer an exotic Asian lady of mystery, how many of the readership would do anything but cheer the hero on? What we have here is a playboy pirate who thinks he is playing Errol Flynn's role in the story, but Amanda knows better. Her sturdy middle-class American morals and sense of duty are always with her and her "who does he think he's dealing with?" comments to herself after every romantic encounter had me laughing out loud.
Amanda Garret is a wonderful character and it is a pity that there are unlikely to be any more novels in the series. James Cobb doesn't seem like the type to have the Wizards of Ancient Atlantis or the Sinister Sea-devils From Sirius show up to challenge the USN, so I think he may have run out of foreign enemies for Amanda and her crew to battle. A civil war breaking out in the United States would level the playing field a bit, or a conspiracy involving some of the armageddon-bound religious fanatics currently troubling the military, but would Cobbs' readership be offended or enthralled by a political plot twist of that sort? We will probably never know. Amanda will become a middle-aged admiral and marry someone of her own rank, and we have to be satisfied with that.
Target Lock.......2005-09-05
Book was delivered as advertised. The srory continues the fine writing he does of the military and including both sexes in its characters.
Ever met this kind of person?????.......2005-07-27
You know the person I mean. They know literally everything about a subject and insist on telling you about it, whether you want to hear it or not. You can walk away and they will follow you, continuing to try to impress you with their knowledge. No matter what you say or do, or even try to change the subject, they will continue to bombard you with useless, boring facts about whatever it is they are `hung up' on.
That's the feeling I got while reading Mr. Cobb's Target Lock. Half the time I did not know weather Mr. Cobb was writing this book to tell a story, or because he needs to show off his obvious intricate knowledge of the US Navy. Mr. Cobb takes a lot of pains to explain, in detail, every aspect of every gun, boat and piece of military equipment in his book. Eventually I was able to recognize when he was about to launch into one of these types of descriptions and skipped ahead two paragraphs. I fail to understand why I, as a reader, need to know the EXACT nomenclature, design, color, shape and country of origin and manufacture of every single piece of military hardware in the book. Whether a cannon is 75mm or 65mm or whether it was made in Japan or Korea and how much the weapon weighs has no bearing on the story whatsoever.
I understand that this book is in an ongoing series. If so, I'm glad I missed its predecessors. Sorry to say I will also miss its future sequels.
Romance with the wrong pirate.......2003-12-16
In Target Lock, Amanda gets involved romantically with a modern day pirate, whom she helps capture (eventually). The suspense comes from not being sure which way she'll jump when the decision has to be made. This book is an interesting continuation of her story, but I'm still wondering WHEN she's going to notice that the Admiral is interested in her (I see echoes of Honor Harrington here).
Back to form..........2003-09-09
Target Lock represents a return by Cobb to the form shown in Choosers of the Slain and Stormdragon. This is not to say that I didn't enjoy SeaFighter, it just felt a little longwinded and didn't have to same pace and drive as the earlier two. This one however had me hooked from beginning to end. I brought this when I was holidaying in London and wasted far to much of my valuable holiday time reading this book when I should've been out enjoying the uncharacteristicly(sic) English weather. As one of those Aussie obsessed with Bali (even moreso since the bombings) to have at least part of the story set there, just gave it that extra "umpf". The open ending of this story annoyed me no-end at the time and I eagerly await the conclusion.

Book Description
Since the Age of Shadows ended, the people of Ranadon have lived under the merciless heat of two suns and the tyranny of Antonov, the Lion of Senet. Consumed by his lust for power and his unshakable belief in the capricious, almighty Goddess, Antonov’s rule is absolute. Only one man has the intelligence and will to break that hold…a man who could be King.
Suddenly widowed, Morna Provin, Duchess of Elcast, has lost her only protector. With her son banished for an unspeakable crime, she faces a horrifying fate at the hands of the Lion of Senet as retribution for her relationship with the heretic Johan Thorn. But it is only part of a cunning scheme to lure her son, Dirk Provin, back into the fold so Antonov can consolidate his power once and for all.
With his mother’s life at stake, Dirk Provin must emerge from hiding in the Baenlands and return to Elcast—setting in motion a rebellion that will expose long-buried secrets and ignite festering hatreds. For a ruler’s fears and a madman’s prophecy will start Dirk on a quest for truth that will spark a fierce battle between two very different men: one who believes only what his five senses tell him, the other obsessed by his faith in the divine. It is a clash that will bring to light a revelation that may shatter them all.
Customer Reviews:
Better than the first.......2006-03-21
This second installment wowed me. Everything was better. Glad to see some author's improve as they go.
If you like books like this one, might I suggest another I've recently come across. The Unsuspecting Mage by Brian S. Pratt. It's another fantasy adventure sure to please. I highly recommend it.
Much better.......2005-06-02
In this second volume, Ms Fallon seems to be much more inspired: the setting is just as accurate as in the first book (see my review) but her characters, all of them, gain strength and depth just as the pacing of the story shows much more care.
As a logical result the story becomes much more interesting and one really begins to care about what happens.
Her writing too seems to have improved and it add to the pleasure of reading
A book that will truly keep you on the edge of your seat!.......2004-12-26
Fallon begins the second book of the Second Sons Trilogy two years after the first. Her characterization is the best I have ever read. Working with over half a dozen characters, she stays true to each. Their problems and strife nearly leap off of the page. I'm amazed at how deeply she can capture the human psych (sorry, I'm not sure of the spelling). The main character, Dirk, discovers the only way to "save the world" is to betray everyone he loves. Antonov is a fanatic and believes what he does is for the Goddesses sake (which makes him more dangerous than most). Kirshov is a good person at heart but is determined to prove his own merit. Alenor finds herself more alone than she ever realizes and also realizes at the young age of 16, has to become more adult, responsible, and brave than any other adult in her family has ever been. Belegren is becoming more desperate each day that she doesn't know when then next Age of Darkness will occur, especially when it becomes apparent that the lord does not seek nor need her advise. Marqel becomes more cocky; believing everyone else the fool because they don't realize she would stoop to murder to get what she wants. And Tia (Sorry, but this girl is a looney! Honestly, I don't understand why Dirk bothers with her! She's nothing but a big winey baby. I for one hope that he gets to meet Jacinta and falls for her. At least she has a brain and can use it.) By the way, Jacinta is Alenor's cousin and new lady in waiting. What is so great about her is that she has Marquel completely fooled and looking like a drooling idiot.
Every character has a bit of bad and a bit of good. The reader is able to relate to everyone. Although I found myself shouting at the book, "My God! Are you nuts! Can't you see she's using you?!" on several occassions. I absolutely cannot wait for the next one!
"The secret lies within the Eye of the Labyrinth".......2004-08-20
The second book in the Second Sons trilogy keeps up with the quality delivered in "The Lion of Senet". The story evolves nicely and keeps the reader on his toes the whole time. As happened in the previous book, I was surprised by the hate and anger some of the characters generated in me and how I cheered for others with passion. I would imagine that most people experience similar emotions and find this read riveting and almost impossible to suspend.
The story resumes two years after the events that took place at the end of book one. Dirk Provin, one of the main characters in the story, is a fugitive and his mother's husband, Wallin, has just died. His half-brother Rees is the new Duke of Elcast and is supporting Dirk's enemy, the Lion of Senet. Meanwhile, Dirk's mother, Morna, is in dire-straits, since the death of her husband left her at the mercy of the Lion of Senet and the High Priestess (Belagren). Morna knows that there must be an explanation for the things she knows about her son, which are that Dirk raped a Shadowdancer and that he killed his father Johan Thorn and then fled, but it is hard for her to imagine what this explanation is.
Antonov, the Lion of Senet, wants to control Dhevyn, so he is going to get his son, Kirshov, married to Alenor, the princess of Dhevyn and Dirk's cousin. Antonov strongly believes in the Goddess; he even killed his newborn son when a sacrifice was required to end the Age of the Shadows. Belagren convinced him to do so by telling him that the Goddess had spoken to her, but in reality, she found out that the era was going to finish with the help of a genius called Neris Veran. The problem for Belagren now is that Neris created a labyrinth that holds the secrets of when the next Age of Shadows is due, and of course Belagren needs this information if she wants people to keep believing in the Goddess and in Belagren being her chosen one.
Then we have Tia Veran, Neris' daughter, who is hoping that Dirk will be able to find the secrets her father holds relative to the Age of the Shadows and use that information to bring down Belagren and quench Senet's power. Neris is having a great time with this, which represents a break from his routine and the chance of having a sharp mind like Dirk's around him. Therefore, he tells things to Dirk in a very subtle way, surrounding his information with riddles and puzzles.
I have already moved forward to the last book in the trilogy, taking advantage of the fact that when the first book was published in the US, the whole series was already written. I am willing to bet that most of you will feel the urge to start the third book right away, since the suspense will torture you otherwise. Fallon has passed her second test with marks as high as those she achieved with the first book and I am confident the third book will not dissapoint either!
So many schemes, your head will spin.......2004-06-15
Jennifer Fallon really made her mark with Lion of Senet, giving us wonderful characters and a very interesting epic plot. Book two of the Second Sons Trilogy is Eye of the Labyrinth, and the question is: can she keep it up? We already have over 500 pages of it, and we're only a third of the way done. The answer is yes. Eye of the Labyrinth is even better then Lion of Senet, mainly because the action is already under way. The book is so full of people plotting against each other that they make Machiavelli look like a reasonably nice guy. Of course, that's part of the book's charm.
After the chilling events toward the end of Lion of Senet, Dirk Provin, the second son of the Duke of Elcast, is hiding out with King Johan's people, the man who had to die in order to save them. Dirk is feeling tremendous guilt, and while everybody there seems to accept him, there is one woman, Tia, who refuses to trust him. She sees him as nothing but a spoiled rich brat who will betray them to the Lion of Senet as soon as he's able to. Meanwhile, to bring Dirk out into the open, the Lion intends to execute Dirk's mother now that the Duke has died and his protection of her is gone. The rescue attempt reveals long-buried hatreds, schemes, and may even bring down a religion, as false as it is. It's not only the Lion who wants Dirk, however. The High Priestess Belagren also wants him, because only he can tell her when the Second Sun will go away again. If she can't accurately predict it, her religion will go up in smoke as belief falls away. But Dirk has plans of his own, and nobody can see what they are.
I said in my review of Lion of Senet that I couldn't put that book down. Unfortunately, I had to because of work and other things to do during the week. I started Eye of the Labyrinth late on a Friday night, and I was done by Sunday afternoon. This book I could literally not put down, and I raced through it because I had to know what happened next. All of the characters are so detailed and three-dimensional that only a series this big could contain them. Dirk spends most of the book only hinting at what his plans are, and nothing is ever what it seems. Years have passed by the end of the book, and most of the younger characters have grown and changed a lot in that time. There's Princess Alenor of the kingdom of Dhevyn, who has loved Prince Kirshov (the Lion's second son) since arrived in Senet as a prisoner, and who has known ever since then that Kirsh would be her husband and regent eventually. She undergoes a massive change as she realizes that Kirsh will never love her, and has lost his heart to Marqel, a girl who will do anything and sleep with anybody to get the power she craves. Alenor shows a lot of courage when she faces Kirsh down on their wedding night, as well as deciding that she would join the plotting of Dirk's friends against the Lion.
All of the characters are this good and it's impossible to single any particularly good character out. It's far easier to point out one weakness. Once again, it's Marqel. She is truly power-hungry, murdering at the drop of a hat when it suits her whims. That particular aspect of the character is fine, as we have seen and enjoyed completely amoral characters before. However, she becomes quite annoying to read about at times as she continually schemes and has internal dialogues where she details what those schemes will be. I found the character to be believable, but I don't think that she was written very well.
The only other fault in this otherwise flawless novel is Tia. She's a good character and I do like her, but it got old to hear Tia internally telling herself that she can't trust Dirk or that she can't believe that everybody else is trusting him. The repetition serves a purpose as the events of the novel pan out, but it really began to grate on my nerves whenever she was in the story. What happens to her is tragic and I really felt for her, but I also cringed because I knew it would just cause more of the same. Hopefully the third book will have her toned down a bit, but I'm not holding my breath.
I can't say enough about the plotting or the prose, however. Fallon has a way with words that makes you want to keep reading, and her plot just draws you in so tightly that you can't break free. Perhaps there are a couple more coincidences then are believable (which creates a couple of very predictable scenes), but overall the book is full of surprises. Fallon avoids the cliché of the dramatic rescue and instead uses the failure of that rescue to move the plot forward. There are a couple of opportunities for Fallon to fall prey to this, but she only does it when it's right for the story. The schemes of all the characters can make you dizzy at times, but you just have to pay attention. It isn't that difficult as long as you don't skim the book. As you watch the schemes unfold, and watch the characters change things on the fly as circumstances make the ground underneath them shake, you'll have a lot of fun.
Fallon has created a wonderful world and a neat set of characters to inhabit it. Hopefully Lord of the Shadows will bring it all to a satisfying conclusion. I know I'm holding my breath for the finale.

Product Description
Ariel Dorfman, the Walter Hines Page Research Professor of Literature and Latin American Studies, and noted author and playwright, has been invited to select works and write an essay for the brochure for this years exhibit. His chosen artist is Pedro Sanchez, a Spanish artist who has been living in Chile since 1988. Dorfman writes:Sanchezs work explores and bridges the traditions and deepest mythological obsessions of those two countries. The five large paintings and 10 prints in the show constitute a journey into a collective, as well as personal, labyrinth, where the rituals of sacrifice and initiation lead us ever deeply into questions about life and death. By appropriating the ancient Spanish and Mediterranean images of the bull, the Minotaur, and the midnight meeting of the witches, Sanchez also comments on the Latin American reality of repression, hope and ambiguity he has chosen to live with. He invites us, therefore, into the hidden realm which exists just below the repressive surface of society, calling out to those who have disappeared and demanding the presence of those who mutter conjurations, prayers and spells in the darkness. This is a unique opportunity to view the work of an artist who finds his roots in Goya and tries, through rituals, to discover ways in which the past can continue to speak to us. At a time when crossing over from one culture to another and searching for that which joins us in the midst of forces that tend toward homogenization and dispersal, Pedro Sanchez offers an extraordinary synthesis of the sacred and the profane, of light and shadows, and, perhaps, a way out of the labyrinth. Sanchezs works are already found in collections in Essex, Valencia, Washington, D.C., Madrid, Osaka, and Santiago.

Who really needs this book?.......2006-07-13
I initally bought this book because the insane amount of detail that went into the artwork and I thought I might be able to use the visuals for ideas in a Star Wars RPG campaign. While It might have been useful, our group scrapped playing SWRPG and went back to playing D&D. I don't know where the book is now, but I don't really care. I looked at it once. Now I realize that was all I needed.
With the gorgeous illustartions, these pages are better off being posters, because I can't imagine anyone seriously using these as refernce material for anything else. They just look cool. It's worth about 10 minutes of looking at the intricate designs, and then you set it down and question why the heck anyone would care which way the wampa went.
It's basically a coffee table book if you want to show off how geeky you are.
Star WarsTrilogy-Ultimate Guide to the Incredible Locations od Episodes IV,V, and VI........2005-07-31
I mistakenly thought that this book was also going to describe some of the actual outdoor movie set locations of where various exterior scenes were filmed, but it is actually a well-presented and detailed description of all of the various ficticious locations in Star Wars episodes IV,V,& VI from the fantasy point of view.
The exterior views and also the cut-a-way illustrations, maps of planets,and their detailed descriptions of Star Wars space technology are amazing in detail and descriptive content.
It is a pleasurable study of the Stars Wars Planets,Cities,and buildings and other space-related ships and other story-related structures for those who love the technical points of things like I do. Someone went to alot of trouble to produce this very definitive work, and I appreciate that kind of technical diligence as seen in this most enjoyable book.
Enjoyable but DK need better proof readers.......2005-01-18
I have enjoyed reading the DK series of books on Star Wars worlds and vehicles and once again they do not disappoint with an amazing level of detail. One really does appreciate the time and patience the artists and writers put into each illustration. Each illustration often contains additional material explaining events that happened off camera (i.e. as characters travel from place A to place C, something occured at place B). Some events I recognised from the original screenplay and deleted sequences(such as the Tosche station / Biggs sequence). Not being a hard core Star Wars fan, I have no idea where the others can from, beyond their being ideas that were tossed around during pre-production.
The copy I have was let down by some unprofessional publication flaws, notably incomplete sentences that trailed off into nothing (this occured about three times).
I am not an expert on Star Wars but there were one or two things that caused me to wonder, particularly the reference to C-3PO and Anakin's lightsaber on Tatooine which I thought may have contradicted something I read on the Star Wars site about droid memory erasure.
The book also vaguely fleshes out a few interesting "links" in the twenty or so year gap between the events of the current triology and the original triology of films, notably with reference to Yoda.
Recommended for fans of the Star Wars films (five stars if DK fix the typos).
A Documentary Delight!.......2004-10-02
This is the third book in the "Inside the World's of Star Wars" series. All of them are absolutely incredible! They take you on an in depth tour of the locations in the "Star Wars" galaxy. If you have ever looked into the background while watching the "Star Wars" movies, and wondered about the complex environments depicted by George Lucas, this book is for you. It gives complex detail about every aspect, of every location, of every scene from the movies. It show's you all of the location's on Tatooine, the Yavin base, the Death Stars, Eco Base, Yoda's hut, the Ewok village, and much, much more. Anyone curious about the colorfull worlds of the "Star Wars Trilogy" should purchse this book. For much more information on the variety of characters from "Star Wars," the "Visual Dictionary" series is also a must have, and to go in depth with the ships and technology, "Star Wars, the Incredible Cross-Sections" is another great series from DK.

Customer Reviews:
Good Artwork, But Lacks Descriptions and Organization.......2001-06-15
I really give this book 3 and a half stars only for the artwork.
Primarily, this book is rather disappointing. The pictures, and artwork are great, and I must say it is quite amazing to see the matte paintings that were used in the film. The book contains numerous paintings, sketches, and pictures, but they are very poorly organized. I often found that if I saw a picture I liked and wanted to look at it again, I would have to literally flip through almost every page to find it again. The pictures aren't organized into "sections" as were the ones in THE ART OF THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. But that is because the script for the movie is included in this book.
The script takes up a lot of space, but is often spaced apart by maybe 2-3 pages of artwork. So for example, once you're done reading the portion of script on page 9, you'd have to skip up to page 12 to continue reading it. It ruins the continuity of the script, but that is not that much of a deal. The script is nice to have, but then again, why would you really want the script? And besides that, why would you find a script in an art book to begin with?
Returning to the pictures, the main disappointment is the lack of descriptions for the artwork. They have little sentences like: ABOVE RIGHT, painting done by Ralph McQuarrie, and so on, but I had expected more descriptions, and rightfully so because this is an art book...isn't it?
If you are interested in the art AND the script, then you should get it. But keep in mind that there aren't many descriptions for the pictures. In my opinion, this book is a clash of script and fabulous art, and the script doesn't allow for the splendour of the artwork to come out in its full "capacity". But I don't regret getting this book simply because of the artwork, and really, this is the only book out there that has THE ART OF RETURN OF THE JEDI.
Good, but lack of descriptions disappointing.......2000-02-19
This is a great book, but it doesn't have the descriptions for the artwork that the Episode 1 edition had. Putting the script in no doubt took up the space required to have the descriptions in. Still, the art is amazing and I am overwhelmed every time I look at one of these books. If you are a die-hard Star Wars fan, or are even curious about these movies, the "Art of.." series is great and a must-have.
WOW.......1999-11-23
This was an awesome book if you have any arguments shove it up your @$
not nearly as good as the Empire "Art of".......1999-11-02
In brief, this is NOT an "Art of" book. It's a script with a lot of pretty pictures. I can buy the script in several other different formats, but this is the only chance for me to find anything out about the artwork, and this book simply does not do it. Lucasfilm seems to alternate between so-called "Art of" books with the script shoved in (New Hope, Jedi), and actual, quality ART books (Phantom Menace, Empire) that recognize that the script can be found elsewhere. Hopefully the remaining books in the series will leave the script OUT.
A must for fans of the original triolgy.......1999-07-29
If you enjoy seeing how the classic stories developed, this is definately going to be a book you wont regret getting, and is a MUST for your collection, allong with the other two art books.
Book Description
In his most comprehensive book, bestselling author John Randolph Price takes us back to 9500 B.C., when the Grand Magicians came forth, on to 500 B.C. when the "Great Ones" appeared, and continues to trace the life-changing Principles of New Thought right up to the present time.
In Part I, Price focuses on the Grand Paradigm and how to unlock the doors to our Divine Constitution. He reveals the Secret of the Ages, the bridge to connect heaven and earth, the ministering angels, and how to work with the Great Law by directing the cosmic energies. He then brings it all together in a formula for Completeness-Mind into Manifestation, Divine Cause and Divine Effect.
Part II shows us the proof of what New Thought can do-the sweet mysteries of life and the fruits of the harvest. Nothing is too good to be true is a fact, and a miracle will follow when we remove the dam holding back the great river of life and open the blinds that have shut out the light of the shining Truth within.
Price says, "Let's do that, and then spread the word that all things are indeed possible. The people are waiting for the Good News."
