Book Description
Written with compassionate realism and wit, the stories in this mesmerizing collection depict the disparities of town and village life in South America, of the frightfully poor and outrageously rich, of memories and illusions, and of lost opportunities and present joys.

NO ONE WRITES TO THE COLONEL.......2007-01-08
If you are not much into magical realism (i.e., your find One Hundred Years of Solitude or The Autumn of the Patriarch to be written in a heavy-handed style), this story of an old colonel, who waits for his pension, knowing in his heart that he will never get it, is a good introduction to Garcia Marquez. Many, regardless of how old they are, what their background is and where they are coming from can relate to the colonel. Two subtle things that are sort of in the middle of the book and may be overlooked are: the newspaper writing about Suez Canal and a sign in a tailor's shop forbidding the discussion of politics. These two clearly allude to a tough censorship that lets through its filter only what is either taking place far away or what is not government-related.
An incomplete definition of fight.......2004-09-23
The book and its popularity among a certain kind of readers in the erstwhile colonized third world countries explain a lot about those societies and their priorities and preferences. The colonel has been waiting for decades for a meagre pension while his friend Sabhas manages to accumulate some wealth by questionable means (how else,making profits!). If you have to like the book you have to read it as one identifying the difference between the good and the evil and no way between a lazy fatalistic person and the industrious in reality. If only one Gen. Aurlieno Buendia did not give up a certain kind of righteous fight, things would not have been so bad for the poor couple i.e. the colonel and his wife. The colonel was honest when it mattered (handed over a sum to Gen. Buendia faithfully), although a long time ago in his youth, and thus he very legitimately awaits a pension without looking for any alternative means of sustenance since then. He keeps pet, a rooster, which will fight when appropriate time arrives and that will be the second occasion when a fight may help the colonel in his life. In between, only poverty is the meaning and I am sure,to some readers of a certain kind of political grooming, glory of his life. The novel is competently written to dispense with the opiate of the daydreaming masses to whom revolutionary struggle (whatever that may mean) is the only magic to improve living. Those who will appreciate the novel will have to ask themselves why do they sympathize with the colonel - is it because he is poor,is it because he was once a fighter or is it because he does not show much interest in any form of income except pension at an early age. I think, of all those of his ilk, Marquez found the most effective style to move the fatalist romantics emotionally. And to them, emotion is only what matters.
bad book, do not waste your time.......2004-06-22
This is probably the worst book I hav ever read. It is true, it's very short but nothing changes in the story, you end the story the same way you beggin it-- the colonel is a dumb-stubborn old man, he does not have anything to eat and he just waits each week friday after friday for his pension, he doesn't sell the rooster, and practically nothing happens in the whole story.
A waste of time, if you want to read a sad story that really gets you down read "Things Fall Apart," by Chinua Achebe or any good holocaust narrative.
The last line of the story sums up everything.

No One Writes to the Colonel.......2004-01-16
This story, about an old, sad Colonel who spends his time waiting for a pension that, deep down, he knows he will never receive, is simply heart-breaking. Every paragraph is laced with sadness - sadness that his circumstances are how they are and sadness that it won't ever really change, not even in the promised January when the rooster will finally pay off for him and his wife and they can finally put the memory of their dead son behind them.
It was a short story, only ~60 pages long, so I'd highly recommend it to anyone who wants to read something quickly. It is rather depressing, probably made more so by the fact that the Colonel is a dignified man and that he knows that the misfortunes of his life are not his fault at all. Unfortunately, even at the end, there isn't any real hope. It does end with a great last line, but there is no retribution, no deliverance, no satisfaction to be had for the Colonel and his wife. I think that if Marquez had solved all of the Colonel's problems, it would have been a weaker story, so I'm not too upset about that.

Book Description
The Drenai stronghold had fallen. Now blood-hungry Nadir hordes spread desolation and despair across all the lands...
...even tiny Gothir, where slavers seized a young girl while the villagers looked the other way--all but the peasant boy Kiall. His unlikely rescue attempt would lead across the savage steppes and on through the Halls of Hell. The youth would face ferocious beasts, deadly warriors, and demons of the dark; he would emerge a man--or not emerge at all.
But Kiall would not face these dangers alone. Heroes out of legend joined his quest: Chareos the Blademaster, Beltzer the Axeman, and the bowmen Finn and Maggrig. And one among their company hid a secret that could free the world of Nadir domination. That one was the Nadir Bane, the hope of the Drenai. That one was the Earl of Bronze.
Thus did a search for a stolen slave girl become a quest that would shake the very world.

Super Reader.......2007-08-26
Tenaka Khan is dead, poisoned by his own son, Jungir. He has also disposed of his brothers, and sent his sister into exile, because he has failed to produce an heir.
Some years later, due to a conflict with the local earl, both Chareos the Blademaster and a young villager named Kiall set out to look for a woman captured by slavers.
Chareos encounters his friends, the other heroes of Bel-Azar - the only battle that Tenaka Khan did not win. Beltzer the axeman, and the archers, Finn and Magrig come with them, as does the mystic tribesmen Ostas.
Asta Khan, Tenaka's shaman, is still alive, and has deceived Jungir, and is plotting his master's return. This is part of the reason Tenaka left the Heroes of Bel-Azar alive.
Chareos is also a descendant of both the Drenai, and the Nadir, like Tenaka, and just may be the Earl of Bronze.
First, they must survive a trip into a demon infested underworld, and an infiltration of the Nadir stronghold.
What, no Elves?.......2007-08-24
In this particular novel, a young man's village is raided by slavers, and he sets out on the generic quest of rescuing his love, captured in the raid. He is even helped on this quest by the legendary heros of a recent war, Chereos a master swordsman, Finn and Magrig the archers, and Beltzer of the axe. But the generic quest turns out to be no simple task, and their hopeless errand turns into something more than the mere rescuing of a comely peasant girl.
David Gemmell has a way of bringing real life practicalities into his fantasy, his characters are old cynics, drunkards and selfish. Few and far between are the stereotypes of fantasy: the sage that has an answer for anything, the ubermensch or hero without a weakness or flaw. Instead you find characters you might mistake for people in the real world, with realistic motivations and character flaws that make you squirm in disgust.
Granted, Gemmel is not the best author. As a teenager I read this novel and longed to live in this fantasy world. As an adult, I read it and see that it might have been rushed, the plot not entirely fleshed out. Regardless it is a fun distraction that might end too soon for more than just a few, and I enjoyed it no less than I did ten years ago.

What I've come to expect.......2007-04-03
This book is yet another fine work such as I have come to expect from David Gemmell. He has plenty of action, yet he doesn't use it to make up for lack of a good plot. He always has both action and good plot lines. I will definitely continue to read his works.
Another solid effort.......2007-02-26
Unfortunately I haven't got to this review until several months after reading the book - forgive my greater than usual inaccuracy.
Another solid effort from this enjoyable author - heroic fantasy pure and simple without most of the annoying slips of craft in most of this overpopulated genre. Again he gives us admirable heroes that aren't merely cliché, or if they are they're lifted to a point of archetype: we know why we liked these type of characters in the first place. I was disappointed that he didn't just leave this as a `minor' rescue of a politically trivial character - would have been a nice subversion of the idea that only royalty's lives are important (which seems to be something his virtuous heroes constantly challenge). However he couldn't resist tying it in to another era-shattering overplot. As with some of Orson Scott Card's excesses, if you try to make everyone cataclysmically pivotal, you've lost the whole idea of a pivot - a single point on which everything turns.
But this is a relatively small gripe about a book that is positive in my vague recollections. I read this story in an omnibus of three, and I'll look forward to savouring the other two in the next year or two (I don't want to glut myself and reduce the pleasure).
Good........2006-12-09
3 1/2 Stars really.
I just finished this book last night. It was the first I'd ever read from Gemmell and it was about what I expected. This is not a heavy book by any means. If you're looking for a really in-depth-blow-me-away type book this isn't it. It's more of an adventure style fantasy along the lines of R.A. Salvatore or Dragonlance. It's not very long, yet it covers months of time, making it hard to add a lot of detail to the story. Some would see this as a drawback, others prefer it. I will admit that I was never once bored with this book. It will hook you after a few pages and you'll have a hard time putting it down.
Gemmell does a great job of catching the reader up on pertinent events that happened in the past. I had no problem jumping right into this book without reading the others in the series. The characters are likable, even fat Beltzer, and you'll find yourself rooting for their success.
If you're waiting for the next book in your favorite series "Quest for Lost Heroes" is a good way to fill a part of that void.

Book Description
During his heroic first encounter with an alien race, Dick Muller was permanently altered, hideously transformed in a way that left him repulsive to the entire human race. Alone and embittered, he exiled himself to Lemnos, an abandoned planet famed for its labyrinthine horrors both real and imagined.
But now, Earth trembles on the brink of extinction, threatened by another alien species, and only Muller can rescue the planet. Men must enter the murderous maze of Lemnos, find Muller, and convince him to come back.
Will the homeless alien, alone in the universe, risk his life to save his race the race that has utterly rejected him?
Download Description
As the first human to interact with an intelligent alien species, Richard Muller learned almost nothing during his year-long visit to the home planet of the strange, silent Hydrans. At the end of his mission, Muller discovers that the Hydrans secretly altered his mind to radiate his emotions to any human who comes near. He quickly learns from his friends and companions that experiencing the horrifying reality of a human soul invariably induces revulsion and despair. Rejected from society, Muller renounces his allegiance to the human race and isolates himself as the only being ... human or alien ... to successfully navigate the hidden death-traps into the center of the abandoned city of Lemnos. After nine years of contented solitude, a bitter and cynical Muller watches as a human crew arrives at the gate of the city and attempts to penetrate the maze. He is not aware that their mission to end his self-imposed isolation is more than the rescue of one man, it is a desperate attempt to rescue the fate of mankind.

The sexism spoiled it for me..........2006-01-30
I enjoyed the premise and plot of this novel but was unable to connect with any of the main characters or the society they live in. I can accept that there are few females in the story but the characterisation of those that there are is extremely poor. The most significant woman is summarized as being a "swivel hipped tart with spiked heels and blue hair", or something similar. The two or three women in the novel are described only in terms of the pleasure they give to men. The males are adventurous space explorers, but the females cannot comprehend space travel and are afraid of it and in awe of the men who do it. Taking women on dangerous missions is not done, and the men have "woman cubes" to keep them entertained while they are without the real thing. In this "mankind" of tomorrow, women are only good for nurturing and satisfying the brave men who travel the universe. This bothered me, as did the idea that physical imperfection is an offence to others and those who can afford it should have it rectified (though I've come across this in other sci-fi stories as well, and can see that it's quite probable that this will become a reality). Muller is frequently said to be a fine and noble man, but he and the other males are so shallow in regards to women (even the youngest character, who should be the most likeable) that I was kept at a distance from them. There is much talk about "mankind" and how wonderful it is but I felt too excluded from it to care what happened to Muller and the rest of the human race.
Classic.......2005-06-01
A quick good read of a classic story revisited. Any fans of silverberg will enjoy this book.
Tragic Tale of Self Induced Exile.......2003-10-17
Dick Muller was a hero... that is, until an encounter with an alien race left him unable to be tolerated in a human's prescence. When the human race rejected him, he left...to a planet with a giant maze on it. No one has ever reached the center of the maze. Now the human race needs Dick Muller to save the planet but first they must find him and convince him to come back and save the race that sent him into exile.
This book is great. My favorite book of all time. I highly recommend it to everyone!
Sophocles Redux.......2003-04-30
Mankind is threatened by an alien that strips us of our free will. We can't communicate with these aliens, so we can't fight or appease them. Our only hope is Dick Muller, who, in mankind's first contact with an alien race, was permanently maimed and cannot live with humans anymore. However, it is precisely this injury that gives him the opportunity to let the aliens know we are a thinking race. The only question is-will he reject the human race that previously rejected him?
This modern retelling of the myth of Philoctetes is short, sweet, and to the point. It doesn't pause for discursive considerations of the maning of life or the nature of the human beast; that would belabor a subtle point and lose the larger meaning. The whole piece is a careful consideration of the limits of the human animal, and what makes it possible to live with one another.
This silver-age SF gem presaged such Silverberg classics as Dying Inside, a more careful meditation on the same themes. It also dovetails neatly into the New Wave of science fiction, in which the great source of speculation isn't scientific advancement, but the limits of the human being. All in all, it becomes a forward-thinking insight using a framework as old as time. Though imperfect, it belongs to a class of book that just doesn't get written anymore.
A complex and fascinating epistemological web.......2002-10-18
After an encounter with an alien race that leaves him with a strange `disease', Richard Muller exiles himself to Lemnos, a place famous for a vast, deadly maze that was built there long ago. He alone succeeded in getting to its center; now, veteran Charles Boardman, the one who convinced Muller to go on that ill-fated mission, and the young Ned Rawlins, whose late father was Muller's friend, must get Muller out of the maze and back to Earth for one last, heroic task (to do so, they, too, must master the maze). Getting through the maze won't be as difficult as it will be to actually convince Muller to follow them; thus, a psychological battle plays out during most of the book. In my mind, this isn't as fascinating as are all the different paths leading to different sorts of knowledge: in the first third of the work, Boardman's crew uses robots programmed to replicate the information that was saved during earlier, unsuccessful tries to get through the maze - that way, human lives are saved while the crew can afford to lose dozens of robots; some of the maze's sections are easier for the robots to go through, because they can more easily doubt their sense perception, whereas humans must close their eyes so that they won't be confused by appearances; meanwhile, Muller, having lived nine years in the maze and thus knowing it better than anyone, is still speculating about its possible origin, hidden secrets and traps. The only limitation to the various speculations is, plainly... death.

Ms. Pacman does much more than eat dots!!.......2001-02-21
Namco is the king of the classic games like Pacman who would want to see Ms. Pacman on Nintendo 64 and buy a guide?? She got her 3-D 64 game before Pacman [Mr.] But the truth is that Ms. Pacman Maze Madness is a brand new puzzle/exploration style game. There are 12 areas spread over 4 worlds and many secrets to unlock. You're still going to munch more than 200 pellets per stage but experience is so different. There's a deep plot and the difficulty is only intermediate making the guide pretty useless. Don't sweat it since you can STILL play the classic **Ms.** Pacman. Not that the bow will makes much of a difference, there's a build to this style of game. The exploration may not be deep or engrossing, but besides who wants to use a guide to completely spoil all the secrets??

Extremely Valuable Insights/information re: Marriage.......1998-11-02
George McLaird covers so much good ground about marriage that so many pages by themselves are worth the price of this book. He sprinkles jewels of insight and practical information across the reader-friendly chapters, and his detailed "field guide" (table of contents) lets you go immediately to what concerns you most. The book not only informs, but also challenges and encourages those who are married or thinking of marriage. Were the state to require reading and test people before issuing marriage licenses, this might be the textbook. The author presses you to live your life and marriage consciously. If you are like most people and relational problems aren't keeping you awake at night, you cruise into (and through) your marriage naively, as if on automatic, with good intentions but too little awareness or knowledge. McLaird asks you to wake up, pay attention, and take care of serious marital business that will hurt you someday if you neglect it. And then he tells you how to deal with it. If you are bothered by being told directly what to do, you may not like McLaird's hortatory style. But if you can overlook it or get by it the best you can, the rewards will be well worth your effort.

Protection 101.......2005-06-06
I am a pragmatic individual, not into magical or unseen things, but after I was attuned through Reiki 3, I found that there is a need for protection and grounding against negative energy and those that would drain or use you. An interesting read, I found the exercises and advice extremely helpful. Whether you believe in things unseen or not, it is essential to psychically protect your family and yourself from outside negative influences, energy and evil. This book is a positive tool for change and empowerment.
Great material!.......2005-04-08
This book was a Goddess send. It helped me so much dealing with negative people and influences. I recommend to anyone who has alot of these issues and cannot figure out why? This book has some really good material that was very helpful to me. Very helpful I cannot believe the changes it has made for me.
Open Your Mind - Experience Bliss.......2004-06-21
Ms. Stein's Essential Energy Balancing Process is fantastic. I was skeptical at first, but went into the process with an open mind and heart. The energy shift I experienced during the process and for a long time afterwards was like nothing I have ever felt. The incredible joy and release that accompanied the process is well worth the work to learn. All I can say is, don't knock it until you've really, TRULY tried it. And remember, even if you THINK you're open, if you aren't really, you won't experience a darn thing. That is not Ms. Stein's fault - that is your own. She gave you a divinely inspired tool. Use it. This book is not optional, but mandatory reading (as are all the Energy Balancing books) for personal/spiritual growth and enlightenment. It is probably impossible to describe the beauty of its affects - you really just have to experience it for yourself.
How to identify negative interference in lives.......2001-10-12
Blend a coverage of psychic protection plans with an overview of how to heal through psychic energy and you have Diane Stein's Reliance On The Light, a title which will appeal to both healers and lay readers. Chapters tell how to identify negative interference in lives and how to psychically protect oneself.
