Book Description
This wonderful detective novel is set in Peru in the 1950s. Near an Air Force base in the northern desert, a young airman is found murdered. Lieutenant Silva and Officer Lituma investigate. Lacking a squad car, they have to cajole a local cabbie into taking them to the scene of the crime. Their superiors are indifferent; the commanding officer of the air base stands in their way; but Silva and Lituma are determined to uncover the truth.
Who Killed Palomino Molero, an entertaining and brilliantly plotted mystery, takes up one of Vargas Llosa’s characteristic themes: the despair at how hard it is to be an honest man in a corrupt society.

Cliche' city. Disappointing.......2004-04-28
_______________________________________
Picked this one up on a whim, based on cover blurbs & laudatory comments here. Has moments, and the descriptions of Peru in the 50's are interesting -- but the characters are thin, and the dialogue is just awful -- one bad cliche' after another. I can't say if the cliche's are the author's or the translators, but this one wasn't for me. I gave up about halfway through. Caveat lector....
Cheers -- Pete Tillman
Who Killed Palomino Molero?.......2002-02-14
This book reminds me of "chronicle of a death foretold" - you may think this is too much of a overdraft but this is just pure sunshine. The translation is just as effective as the plot. The main investigators in the case Lituma and Lieutenant Silva represent a class who takes the insult in what ever form it may be but do not nudge back - gives back a subtle reply which gives the final twist. The author has been able to achieve a twist inside a twist which keeps us wondering at the end about the real topic of the book, which is suppose to be a detective story. The plot changes from an investigation story to traumatic social relations living history. Sometimes I was thinking - is this father Brown with a little bit of Tango? The death of Palomino Molero does not represent a simple case of torture and murder but a social dilemma of hatrate which has its grips so deeply rooted that sometimes people do not even question it . I promise you will enjoy this book.
Murder most foul.......2002-01-18
The time is the 1950s, the place is Peru, and the victim is a young air force enlisted man named Palomino Molero, in Mario Vargas Llosa's spare, tightly written and excellently constructed whodunit. Palomino Molero, eighteen years old, a guitar player who enchanted everyone for miles around singing boleros, is found brutally tortured and murdered near a local air force base. Two civil guards, Officer Lituma and Lieutenant Silva, try to unravel the crime. Rumors abound all over the place; the victim was involved in smuggling or the like and the higher-ups are covering up the perpetrators. But when Silva and Lituma find out that what Palomino Molero was involved in was not smuggling but a love affair with the daughter of his base commander, the plot thickens in all kinds of ways. Vargas Llosa's book is not only a crime novel but a bitter indictment of the social/racial conflicts of modern Peru, where an airman cannot fall in love with the daughter of a colonel, especially if she is white and he is a cholo (half-breed). Vargas Llosa knows how to leaven his story with comic relief; Lieutenant Silva is hopelessly in love with and shamelessly pursuing the respectably married Dona Adriana, and her revenge on him for his presumption is a riot. The murder is solved, but the townspeople won't accept the truth, and insist that they were right all along; there were "higher-ups" involved. "Higher-ups" indeed. It would be a crime in itself to give the solution away and I'm not going to; suffice to say that Vargas Llosa has written a gem of a murder mystery with an ingenious plot twist. It's a very short novel and shows again that some of the best things come in small packages.
Lacks much creativity and makes you sick!!!.......2001-08-26
After reading this book I found out that even a interesting book can make you sick to your stomach.Descriptions were detailed and even though the book wasn't that boring the ending was just so useless and terrible that you wished you hadn't wasted your time in reading this book. I'm sorry but I dont recommend this book to anyone unless you like sick books.
Good but Minor Work from a Major Writer.......2001-06-06
Eminent Peruvian novelist Llosa tries his hand at the crime story with this police procedural set in 1950s Peru. He doesn't stray too far from the tropes of the genre, as a crafty Guarda Civil Lieutenant and his sentimental Sergeant run afoul of powerful military types as they investigate the torture and murder of a young airman from a nearby Air Force base. Still, in this novella length story, he manages to produce a remarkable amount of character development with the two policeman, including an offbeat subplot about the Lieutenant's infatuation with a pudgy married cook. Unsurprisingly, as they slowly unfold the circumstances surrounding the young man's killing, issues of race, class, and corruption come to the fore. And, with such a buildup, it should come as no surprise that the resolution is more bitter than sweet. In sum, this is a relatively minor work from a major writer.

Back Story.......2007-09-26
this book kinda was a let down...at the same time it was great...its the back story of zedd and the boundry walls...not a must for the begining Terry Goodkind fan...but a must for people who've read the sword of truth series
Great Short Story.......2007-09-25
Unfortunately, many reviewers have not given Debt of Bones it's due. As this was originally released as a short story to sideline the Sword of Truth series, this is not as long as a novel.
Debt of bones is about a woman who has a bone debt with First Wizard, Zeddicus Zu'l Zorandor. She uses this debt to attempt to get Zedd to save her daughter from the forced from Dhara, but in doing so, helps to start events that we've read in the Sword of Truth series' past.
It is wonderful to be able to have a small segment of Zedd's past plus the opportunity to see the events that happened when the boundaries were put up. While short, it is, all in all, a fun read.
Still worth reading.......2007-09-17
Written a bit out of phase, this book does add depth to the whole series. I would have enjoyed reading it sooner, than later!
Debt of Bones.......2007-08-23
This side story provides wonderful insight into the world that Goodkind has created. If you are not familiar with the Sword of Truth Series this novella would be a wonderful place to start the adventure. Debt of Bones (Sword of Truth Prequel Novel)
Great prequel!.......2007-08-10
Anyone who gives this a bad review is clueless... Who cares how short it is... hello? It's a prequel. It's not a novel. lol.
It's a great read and I loved it just like the Sword of Truth Series!

"So it's true what they say: information wants to be free!" But the information in question, in this case, is Dee Model, a sexy, butt-kicking, love-slave android who's just mysteriously become self-aware, eluded her owner, and filed for her own autonomy. And the person making the remark (ironic given that it's a centuries-old reference) is Ax Terminal, a "freelance professional eunuch and part-time catamite," a resident of New Mars, the wormhole-away-from-Jupiter free-market anarchy set up thanks to the fast-folk, an uploaded race of überhumans experiencing reality and evolving at ultrahigh speeds. Android Dee, as it turns out, may have been nudged toward freedom by Jon Wilde, her cloned body's former husband (they met at Glasgow University back in the '70s), who just recently came back from the dead (revived by himself, in robot form) to join in the struggle between robot abolitionists and the malicious boss man of New Mars, David Reid (Wilde's former rival and owner of the sex slave that happens to be a cloned copy of Wilde's former wife). Now this is what great science fiction is all about.
Action-packed, inventive, and satisfyingly weird, Ken MacLeod's Stone Canal (the retroactively U.S.-released prequel to The Cassini Division) lets loose with a steady stream of challenging ideas and novel technology, taking on questions of free will, identity, and the nature of consciousness, all the while telling a bang-up story. Reminiscent of K.W. Jeter's best work, The Stone Canal certainly deserves a look. --Paul Hughes
Book Description
Life on New Mars is tough for humans, but death is only a minor inconvenience. The machines know their place, the free market rules all, and only the Abolitionists object.Then a stranger arrives on New Mars, a clone who remember his life on Earth as Jonathan Wilde, the anarchist with a nuclear capability who was accused of losing World War III. This stranger also remembers one David Reid, who now serves as New Mars's leader. Long ago, it turns out, Wilde and Reid had shared ideals and fought over the same women.Moving from 20th-century Scotland through a tumultuous 21st century and outward to humanity's settlement on a planet circling another star, The Stone Canal is idea-driven sci-fi at its best., making real and believable a future where long lives, strange deaths, and unexpected knowledge await those who survive the wars and revolutions to come.
Customer Reviews:
A would-be Heinlein copycat?.......2006-05-11
Almost to the end, this novel reminded me of Robert Heinlein's writings (the best of them, I mean). Then it crashed in the last few pages, so I am a little dissatisfied with it.
The plot is heavy with Comunist, Socialist and Anarchist messages, presented by either cynics or idealists. As I grew up in a Comunist dictatorship, none of them impressed me, nor ever would... so I had to put them aside and try to enjoy the action. And I did, most of the time.
Jon Wilde is ressurected by a sentient machine he'll soon learn is an earlier imbodiment of himself. Then he discovers his late wife's body walking around with a robot intelligence inside, a world where his name is revered, an old friend and rival hunting him and a plot for the destruction of all sentient machines... for starters.
The interesting part was a bit about "fast people", minds so far evolved that they live an accelerated existence in nanite bodies... but they never had a major part to play, so the thrill went away pretty fast.
An almost Heinlein-type of story. Not Heilein-like enough, though. Too bad...
Entertaining, action-packed, though-provoking, but..........2004-05-15
This was really a very interesting book to read! Lots of interesting ideas, mixing hard sci-fi with political aspects in a way that is very rare to find around. It may get sometimes I little boring with all the discussions about politics and the life of an anarchist, but there are some parts that you really can't leave the book aside without feeling guilty for not knowing what is coming next.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that sometimes the abilities of the characters seem a little too "supernatural". Sometimes when you get a book where characters are portrayed as human being and then suddenly they are just too good to be a human being, it does feel strange. Some people like it, I just didn't feel confortable with it. Personal opinion.
Love never dies.......2002-09-03
Picking up this book mainly as a fluke, I was not expecting the story that awaited me. The most fascinating thing is the reality of thought and dialogue, mixed together in a intricate web of fiction, both of the historical brand (a large chunk is set in 1970's Scotland) and the all too alarmingly realistic future brand. The story revolves around two men, David Reid and Jon Wilde whose political views and ideals have set the course of the world, and have built a centuries long rivaly between them.
The text reads remarkably well, and even when lost in the mire of politcal thought (it is recommended that the reader have at least a basic knowledge of communism, socialism and capitalism) the text is rich enough and REAL enough to carry through. Switching from one point of view to the next is not just jumping from character to character, but shooting from first person to third to the camera man if this were a movie.
The only drawback about this book is the breakneck speed at which it ends. But the ending is not diminished by it.
I recommend this story to anyone looking for Science Fiction that is believable, no matter how unbelievable it really is.
intelligent, deep, imaginative, well written.......2002-07-06
Out of the first five books Ken Macleoud has had published only the last one 'Cosmonauts Keep' I will never reread. All of the first four are well worth rereading, the mark of a good book.
'The Stone Canal' has the great structure Macleoud does so well, of alternating chapters telling the story from centuries past of the character's. While the next chapter carrys on in the present and so on.
It was KM who advised Bank's of this for his great 'Use of Weapons' novel. Back to the Stone Canal. It's packed with ideas, intensity and thriller like page turning. It could easily fall back into a revenge and killing book. Let's face it the main character has many good reasons to kill Reid. It's about myths, love and reality. It's fun and smart. Macleoud doesn't have the same strength and depth in description as say Banks or Dan Simmon's at their best but he writes very good books, compressed, full of twists, ideas and smart characters.
Good Hard Science Fiction.......2002-05-15
This is one of those uncommon books that immediately caught my interest from page one and kept it, the characters and their relationships and development done on the 'fly' as the pages flowed, superior writing indeed. The plot switches back and forth from the year 1975 and the following years, up to the late 21st century, and later on another planet. Two friends, one a socialist and the other an anarchist (quite opposite world views actually which is thought provoking) later become rivals and later both find themselves on a planet called New Mars many decades later, and the outcome of their rivalry is decided there, the story of how they got to New Mars is quite interesting, involving some speculative science which will someday likely take place, including topics such as biostasis, mind uploading and downloading with computers, cloning, nanotechnology,etc....
I gave this novel four instead of five stars due to the fact that Ken Macleod included here way too much of a dose of English politics for my taste (he lives in Scotland) and as most people know, English politics are nearly incomprehensible to outsiders!!! But overall, this is cutting-edge science fiction well worth reading. Macleod's later novel THE CASSINI DIVISION extends from this novel.
Book Description
Although one of the acknowledged achievements of the British Raj was the extensive construction of irrigation works, their effects have to date been little studied by historians. In this book Dr Stone has undertaken the first full-scale study of the qualitative and quantitative effects on local economics of these irrigation schemes. Focusing upon the region of western Uttar Pradesh in the nineteenth century, the author examines in detail the response of the peasant economy to this important and pervasive form of technological change. In particular, he is concerned with the impact on crop choices, on the organisation and techniques of production, on protection from famine and on the ecological balance, on social and economic relations, and on differential economic performance. An integral part of his study is his examination of the technical features and administration of the systems.

Book Description
This book offers a balanced, wide-ranging, and realistic approach to the full range of worldviews, showing how, whether religious or secular, they define the human values that drive the engines of both continuity and change worldwide. It shows readers the dynamics of each tradition, and emphasizes that although the various traditions may all share similar aspects, they each assign varying levels of importance to specific areas. Explores the major religious traditions and secular ideologies (Marxism, nationalisms, scientific humanism) from six dimensions: experiential/emotional; narrative/mythic; doctrinal/philosophical; ethical/legal; ritual/practical; and social/organizational. For anyone interested in comparative worldviews, religious and secular.

A Comprehensive Book With a Big Flaw.......2007-07-03
Smart explains his structural understanding of worldview as being a triangle. At the top corner is the cosmos (meaning the physical universe) and the two bottom corners are self and society. One's worldview determines how the three corners are related. It also determines how self experiences the other two corners.
Smart believes that there are six dimensions that help define a worldview. While all worldviews have these six dimensions, the value a worldview may place on any one dimension will differ. The first of these dimensions is the Experiential Dimension. This aspect looks at how the self experiences the cosmos. Smart defines the experience as emotional with a range from terrifying to loving. He also says that an experience may be the same in two different religions, but the interpretation is not. The next dimension that he discusses is the Mythic. This refers to the stories on which a religion is founded and gets its meanings. The Doctrinal Dimension is the aspect of worldview that seeks to make sense of traditions, safeguard the myths, and make religious claims relevant to the current knowledge of the times. Smart's fourth dimension is Ethical. He differentiates between major and minor ethics. Smart says that the major ethics are common to many worldviews because a society could not survive without them. Without these, there would be no societies following any worldview. The Ritual Dimension includes areas such as worship, sacrifice, and rights of passage. The Social Dimension is the final aspect of worldview that Smart discusses. This dimension deals with the relationship between the two bottom angles of Smart's triangle.
The author provides a very broad overview of worldview both geographically and religiously.
The primary problem that I propose for Smart's theory is that he is trying to dispassionately understand the passionately held beliefs of others. The "traditional believer", according to Smart, is incapable of neutral and nonjudgmental analysis of the beliefs of others (or even their own). He appears to fault "traditional believers" for actually believing their beliefs. Smart's "structured empathy" makes it impossible for him to understand the beliefs of traditional believers. Smart wants them to abandon their certainty in the truthfulness and rightness of their beliefs. His preference would be that they would adopt his more rational and correct view of structured empathy and neutrality. In other words, he wants them to become true believers in his system.
great for students.......2000-04-22
This book is a good guide for those seeking more enlightenment about the religious world. this book was my major resource for the religious studies course I was taking. It provides an overview for approaching the different aspect and dimensions of religion as a student of Religion Studies, or as a seeker of truth. The book though gets rather confusing when it refers to the many religions' practices and terminology which I am not accustomed to, thus to make the book more bountiful, I used in joint Huston Smith's book "The World's Religions".
