Great, but he's written better..........2006-08-30
This book kept me interested and offers another great depiction of a Messianic figure taking the world by storm. It's a bit less realistic than Messiah, and I would recommend reading Messiah over Kalki. But if you've already read Messiah and want more, check this one out.
The story, overall, moves pretty fast and keeps you guessing. Down to the last page you won't know what's going to happen next.
Master of understatement, Vidal's novel is deeply disturbing.......2004-05-01
I cannot tell you what is deeply disturbing about this novel in regards to the actual plot without giving much of it away--which would be a crime and a half for a novel of this punch. Suffice it to say that despite the fact that Vidal puts enough aspects of 70s culture into it to make it fresh and new for when it was written, it carries even more power--and becomes even more disturbing--when read in our new millenium; almost as much as it would have had I read it in 1999.
There is a woman named Teddy Ottinger: feminist, an aviatrix extraordinaire, divorced mother of two; longing to step into the shoes of her immortal hero Amelia Earhart, even at the expense of the emotional lives of her children, for whom she has little true maternal feelings and little more than a contempt for her ex-husband that had to have been there latently when she married him. Cold, but searching for love and warmth in the arms of both lesbian women and men--and something of meaning in her life via French philosophy--she is summoned to the world of Kalki, the tenth avatar of the god Vishnu, harbringer of the end of the world. But he may also be someone else; a someone else that could make this entire fantasy world she is seemingly caught up in a dangerous lie. Or, he could simply be Kalki, and the world must prepare for the End...
Vidal channels Mark Twain in our century like he always does and creates a novel of social criticism with a style and expertise of which few in history have ever equalled. But with this novel he weaves essential Hinduism and the CIA into it in a way that makes one question not just American society, but reality itself. In two hundred plus pages Vidal will have you sitting on the edge of the bed at two o'clock in the morning with this novel, not being able to put it down, yet being afraid to read the final chapters.
And make no mistake, the final chapters will blow your mind.
I highly recommend this one.
Another Bull's Eye for the AMAZING Gore Vidal!.......2004-03-08
It would be tough to find a writer with such a huge range as the great Gore Vidal in this or any other time! KALKI is surely one his "breezy", less difficult reads, but it scores on every play! The story of a deranged ex-Vietnam vet who metamorphsizes into a huge Hindu cult leader takes direct aim at the super- commercial media society, cults and apocalyptic religions in general, government agencies, ultra feminism, and about any other hyped up cant of the 1970's , or 2000's. It's ultimate message is horrific, especially relevent today. All written in the amusing, satiric, deadpan style of the incredible Mr. Vidal..In short, a bizarre, all too possible, fable for all of us, for all time.
That '70s Book.......2003-12-22
KALKI is very much a product of its time. And, as that time was the late '70s, one can see that the book is obsessed with many of the same things that other products of that era were fascinated by. The main protagonist is a female, she's an avowed feminist, she's overtly bisexual, she's an airplane test pilot, she constantly thinks about Amelia Earhart, and her autobiography was a rejection of motherly values, ghost-written by a man selected by her publishing company.
The rest of the story is similarly '70s in flavor. An Eastern/Hindu religious sect is claiming that their god Kalki has been reincarnated in the form of an ex-army soldier from the American Midwest. Their scripture claims that when Kalki returns to ride the white horse, the world will end soon afterwards; only the chosen few will survive. Naturally, since this is the '70s, everyone on the planet becomes obsessed with the Kalki story. The newsmagazine show, "60 Minutes" produces an unusually long segment investigating the Kalki phenomenon. Even Walter Cronkite gets into the act, making an amused comment on the impending end of the world.
In between the references to Watergate and the mentions of Ronald Reagan, there's a very effective religious satire going on here. Gore Vidal paints his satirical strokes a little broad at times, but when he focuses, the story soars. Fun is poked at, not only the religious cults that were springing up at the time, but many aspects of pop culture. Some of the jokes still apply today, of course. In fact, were this book to be written now, many of the shots at television news coverage wouldn't need to be changed at all.
Although the book seems most concerned with its satire, it also works extremely well as straight adventure/thriller. A genuinely enjoyable story, I simply could not figure out what direction it was going to go in next. The gothic tone of the ending slips in nicely after the whimsy of the beginning and middle. Vidal manages to get the balance of comedy and drama just right. Some moments are laugh out loud funny, while a page later one will be faced with sudden and utter horror.
Heavy Handed Plot.......2003-02-22
The plot overwhelmed this story, turning some fine characters into unbelievable stick people, reducing them to comic book figures. One gets involved with the bisexual narrator, Teddy, only to see the rug pulled from beneath her as she is surreptitiously pulled into a conspiracy to destroy mankind (including her two young kids!). Give me a break. It doesn't rescue the story to call it a satire-satire of what? Doomsday prophets? I enjoyed the zany cast with their double personalities until they were forced to cope with the dystopian horror ending. I don't think anyone could remain sympathetic or interested in such a cast of characters. Yes, the Kelly/Kalki character took mental illness to new heights in believing himself to be a trinity of Hindu gods, creators, preservers and destroyers but all he really did was immolate himself to Vidal's rather ridiculous plot. Is Gore asking us here-look ma, no hands-see what a ludicrous story I can tell?

pride and prejudice meets cozy mystery meets vampire romance.......2007-08-12
This Elizabeth-like character is intelligent, irreverent, and naturally not looking to fall for the tall dark handsome hero. The most powerful testosterone carrier around, the Darcy-esque lead doesn't want to be attracted to her, but because she's the only one who doesn't completely fall under his spell, he can't help it. The cozy mystery wrapped around these rather traditional characters is very predictable, though there is a certain novelty given that the traditions the characters are flouting aren't those of 18th century English manners but Vampire/companion behavior in a modern setting.
I've never read a vampire "romance" or any vampire books, and I've read very few traditional romances, so I'm perhaps no good judge of this genre. I happen to read Companions because, grocery shopping and combing the offerings at a Virginia Beach W**mart looking for some surfside reading on vacation, I recognized the author's name from the "In a different Reality" fanfiction zines of twenty years ago.
While the base set of characters can be considered "classic", there was enough cute dialogue and attractive details to carry a reader along through the story pretty well. At times the heroine was a little too smart and snappy for her situation to be believed, and the hero too self deprecating for such an alleged bad a**, but I might have been expecting too much reality of a genre that, to be enjoyed, apparently has to have a much wider than usual acceptance of disbelief.
Because I don't really get the vampire attraction. Not the one between the characters, which seems is partially involuntary, but for the reader. For one thing, the hero hates vampires, yet knows that his association with the girl will lead his lady love into becoming the very object he despises. The girl hates dependence, yet realizes that the more she hangs around her hero, the more slavish she's bound to become. And I suppose it also requires a stronger stomach than mine to have people talk casually about being someone's literal slave. Since there really can't be a happily every after for this pair given their circumstances, you sort of wonder how this genre can be popular as a romance one. However, if you overlook that as being part of the drawbacks of the genre, and the author certainly slogs against their fate, much as Jane Austen had Elizabeth slog against her "duty" to get a rich husband without love, then the book reads as well or better than it could be expected. You know, though, that unlike JA's novels where the romance ends happily, there really can't be a happily ever after for this couple. In fact, probably rather the reverse. That knowledge and the fact that those issues, so important throughout the book, were ignored at the end, left me feeling the ending was rushed and not fully resolved.
The cozy mystery part is very very predictable. Most of the details that were supposed to be a surprise to the reader (and were to the heroine) were foreseeable to this reader. But even though there was a slight disappointment that the book had no unexpected twists, it still read pretty well, because you were expecting them. When the events came out as predicted, you just ended up thinking a little bit less of the heroine and wondering if she was as smart as she thought she was, if she couldn't see that coming.
If you take this book for what it is, and not expect more than the genre can deliver, then this is probably a good example. The vampire hero was extremely endearing, too much so to really be believed, but still enjoyable. He even had his Miss Bates in the person of the heroine's aunt. The heroine a little too full of herself, bordering on Mary Sueism, but at least she was no shrinking violet. The plot moved well, if in well worn tracks, and the dialogue was entertaining if at times a bit cutesey.
I liked it - it made a good beach book. The drawbacks were I'd have really liked to have seen a little more character development, a little more seriousness as to how that relationship was going to actually work, particularly some address to the vampire/companion issues they keep raising throughout the book and that were ignored as issues when they got together. Why spend all that page time putting that conflict in the relationship, only to not address it satisfactorily at the end? When the mystery plot resolves, the characters' situation does too, in spite of no real change in their initial objections against it. They seem to just stop struggling against their attraction, perhaps only for the moment. I didn't know what to expect there, not being familiar with vampire romances, but I didn't see any resolution to all that set up angst, no clever way to have their relationship and get past the fate that awaits, them, they just succumb to it. Particularly for the girl who's looking toward a slave like fate she would have despised, regardless of her attraction to the "hero", that was unsatisfying. And a little twisty mystery plot surprise somewhere along the end so it didn't curl up so predictably would have helped too. 3 1/2 stars really, but give it a four because its hampered by its genre. Literature it's not, but it was reasonably entertaining for an afternoon by the waves.
Very Different....3 1/2 Stars.......2007-07-15
I saw this in the "New Releases" section and thought it was new. Obviously was a reissue. I had not read books 1 and 2. The first chapter in this book was very confusing. I'm no dummy, but throughout this book, some of the dialogue didn't not make sense to me. I found myself wondering, "What's that supposed to mean?" It was a very different type of vampire book: Companions that are sometimes abused (slaves) who--eventually--turn into vampires who then take companions for themselves and the cycle repeats itself. Huh. Also, there was some witty dialogue that just didn't fit into the scenes. Not crazy about "Steve" either. No hero in my opinion. Two years he left her alone after biting her. That was cruel. And Selena went to the reception with "helpers," but didn't bring her own weapon??? What??? I just didn't care for this book enough to try to go back and read books 1 and 2. I have read Primal Heat and a few other books by this author and enjoyed them. Go figure?
Great book!!!.......2007-01-03
The last 2-3 vampire books I read were cheesy. Glad to find one that lives up to my expectations. The author didn't fill up space with babble (which I hate by the way). I really liked the characters and plot. I really can't find anything negative about it.
Good but wish there was more.......2005-09-17
I think that as characters, the two central ones here, Selena and her "master" Steve/Istvan are very well written. The intensity of the feelings this bloodbond and their personalities create is very deep and demanding. It is a testiment to their personality that they are able to overcome it enough to do their jobs. However I really wanted more on what "normal" was in this world -- more on how Istvan is different, what the normal life of companion is life to an average vampire. Yes, I could sense it wasn't good but I think it would have been stronger to see some clear examples and not just the results or the emails about it.
The triumphant third book in the Laws of the Blood series.......2004-04-13
The first two books in Susan Sizemore's Laws of the Blood series are quite good, but Companions is really something special. The dual protagonists are as dynamic as they are fascinating, the expanded commentary on Sizemore's unique fictional universe of vampires and companions is impressive and illuminating, and the action-packed storyline is a true page-turner. Mention of Istvan has been made in the previous books - whispers of his unparalleled prowess among the Enforcers of the vampire laws - and I must say he lives up to his reputation in spades. In Companions, we learn his remarkable story, but even Istvan, with all of his might, wisdom, and power, pales somewhat in comparison to Selena, the most unusual of vampire companions.
Istvan is a dhampir born over five centuries ago - he actually worked for Count Dracula for awhile. He hates vampires and has killed many over the centuries; even though he was turned into a vampire himself (a dangerous mistake rectified in the laws soon thereafter - there is no more formidable vampire killer than a dhampir who has been turned) and works ceaselessly to defend vampire law, he has always kept himself apart from a traditional vampire lifestyle. That includes the taking of a companion, a practice virtually all vampires engage in. A bit of deception, though, brought him together with Selena Crawford two years earlier; he has fought the bloodbond that was forged between the two, however, and pretty much left Selena alone. She herself both hates and likes the situation; while she wants nothing to do with Istvan, the bloodbond is a powerful force that cannot be defeated by even the strongest of personalities - and Selena happens to have one of the strongest personalities you will ever encounter.
Now, Enforcer and companion are brought together once again, however, in the search for a vampire killer roaming the streets of Chicago. Selena is a homicide detective, but she knows that a beheaded vampire dumped in an alley falls under a very different jurisdiction than her own. While the local enforcer Ariel and eventually Istvan take over the "case," Selena does plenty of work on her own, identifying the killer and, blaming a particularly despicable vampire for indirectly causing all the trouble, takes the initiative to do something about the evil perp. Companions are not supposed to even know of each other's existence across the different cities of the world, yet there is a cybersecret support group for them, and this connection with others like herself provides Selena the support she needs to stage a mini-revolution among the ranks. In essence, she takes on the role of Enforcer among vampire companions.
The story of the killings and the thrilling conclusion of events makes for an engaging read, but it is the relationship between Istvan and Selena that makes this book such a triumph. Selena does not act like a companion; while the heat of the bloodbond keeps driving her and Istvan together in the most physical of ways, she refuses to fawn upon him or allow his actions to go unchallenged. This both antagonizes as well as delights the chief Enforcer of them all. Their sporadic relationship is remarkably human in several ways, boasting the kind of give-and-take you won't find elsewhere in the vampire world. Heck, she even tries to kill Istvan a couple of times, and that is something companions are really not supposed to do. You'll find a lot of humor in these pages alongside plenty of vampire action, but the heart and soul of Companions is the amazingly nontraditional relationship between vampire and companion. If you are tired of the same old vampire plots of old, you would do well to give Susan Sizemore a chance to impress you with her increasingly beguiling reworking of the vampire myth.

Remembering Icees, candy, and 20 cent comics.......2007-04-25
OK so other than the names this isn't true "Trek" stories, but they are fun and a real blast from the past. Great for comic fans or anyone who walked to the drug store and bought candy, Icees, and comicbooks for 20 to 25cents.
Reproduction not the best.......2006-12-29
These pages are reproduced photographs of the comic book pages, not reproduced from the original art, so they look like photographs of a newsprint page-- not as crisp or bright in color as the original comic book, though they are about as good as can be done without going back to the original inked drawings and re-coloring them. If you were to buy the original comics they would probably cost about $4 to $5 a book, so this format is the bargain, but not by much.
As to content, don't let the obsessive Star Trek nerds fool you; these are fun, vintage stories with good artwork done by Gold Key, the premier movie and TV-to-comic book company of the '60s.

excellent come back for this collection of comic's star trek
I appreciate it because it is a nice price for a nice collection
What if Irwin Allen produced Star Trek?.......2004-09-30
You have to view this set of comics with the above title in question. Remember Lost in Space, Land of the Giants and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea producer Irwin Allen? That's exactly the kind of stories you get like "Planet of Quick Change". There's one where the Enterprise crew members see "Mummies" from outer space in a future edition. They are fun to read because they are so low tech. For lack of a better term they are one of those guilty pleasures that kept me interested in the series long after it left the air. While I knew at the time they were not accurate to the series; they were still fun to read.

Thoughtful Inquiry...Spiritual Questing...Mystic Light..........2003-01-20
This volume by G. R. S. Mead, published in 1906,
contains 3 books in one. The first volume (or book)
is titled: Prolegomena -- and contains: The Remains
of the Trismegistic Literature/The History of the
Evolution of Opinion/Thoth the Master of Wisdom/
The Popular Theurgic Hermes-Cult in the Greek Magic
Papyri/The Main Source of the Trismegistic Literature
According To Manetho High Priest of Egypt/An Egyptian
Prototype of the Main Features of the Poemandres'
Cosmogony/The Myth of Man in the Mysteries/Philo of
Alexandria and the Hellenistic Theology/Plutarch:
Concerning the Mysteries of Isis and Osiris/"Hermas"
and "Hermes"/Concerning the Aeon Doctrine/The Seven
Zones and Their Characteristics/Plato: Concerning
Metempsychosis/The Vision of Er/Concerning the
Crater or Cup/The Disciples of Thrice-Greatest
Hermes.
The second volume (or book) contained in this
one volume is: Sermons -- and contains: I Corpus
Hermeticum; and II The Perfect Sermon; or the
Asclepius (English translations of these works --
with copious, useful footnotes).
The third volume (or book) contained in this
one volumes is: Excerpts and Fragments -- and
contains: (I) Excerpts by Strobaeus; (II) References
and Fragments in the [Church] Fathers -- which
includes Justin Martyr, Athenagoras, Clement of
Alexandria, Tertullian, Cyprian, Arnobius,
Lactantius, Augustine, Cyril of Alexandria,
Suidas, Anonymous; and (III) References and
Fragments in the [Pagan] Philosophers -- which
includes Zosimus, Jamblichus, Julian the
Emperor, Fulgentius the Mythographer.
And finally, there is a Conclusion.
This is an excellent compendium of useful and
provocative readings and sources. The reader
may then want to branch out and read other
compilations and introductions to the Hermetica
(such as Brian P. Copenhaver, Cambridge Univ.
Press) or concentrate also on Gnosticism, such
as the works of Kurt Rudolph (GNOSIS, Harper/
San Francisco) or Hans Jonas (THE GNOSTIC
RELIGION, Beacon Press).
G. R. S. Mead in a faith-full man, but he is
also an in-clusionist. He sees the great mystics
and illuminators and God-filled questers as all
being "Sons of God" -- with not just one particular
one being more "divine" than another. But this is
a God-centered group, not a demonic one. Each man
has the divine spirit -- the spark of the eternal
light -- within him, and the degree to which he
listens to it and is guided by it serves as the
touchstone of his insight and his piety.
