Dr. Heidenhoff's Process

Book Description

"Well," said he, "I have been so long engaged in the practical application of the process that I confess I can't realize any element of the strange or mysterious about it. To the eye of the philosopher nothing is wonderful, or else you may say all things are equally so. The commonest and so-called simplest fact in the entire order of nature is precisely as marvellous and incomprehensible at bottom as the most uncommon and startling. You will pardon me if I say that it is only to the unscientific that it seems otherwise. But really, my dear sir, my process for the extirpation of thoughts was but the most obvious consequence of the discovery that different classes of sensations and ideas are localized in the brain, and are permanently identified with particular groups of corpuscles of the grey matter.

Book 1 of the Secret Texts series is set in a world considerably more urban and urbane than traditional fantasy quest epics. Dirigible balloons ("airibles") coexist with Machiavellian plotting, Borgia-like malevolence, and deadly family rivalry resembling that of the Montagues and Capulets in Romeo and Juliet. There's magic, too, forbidden but still furtively used: Each clan has its concealed corps of "Wolves," black magicians who conduct cruel sacrifices and may become physically monstrous from spell backlash. Young heroine Kait is a diplomat trainee and secretly a shapeshifter--that is, accursed and marked for death if ever exposed. After a horrific clash of wizardry and assassination that almost wipes out her clan, she takes ship in search of the ancient Mirror of Souls, which according to legend can bring back the dead. But legends may be booby-trapped: Kait and other characters become guided by helpful spirit voices, gods with their own agenda and no love of humanity, and the Mirror's real function may be altogether different. Meanwhile, a long-dead sorcerer who opposed the gods with his own white-magic cult awaits rebirth. The magic and its transforming side effects are exhilaratingly horrid; the novel ends with a whopping cliffhanger. --David Langford, Amazon.co.uk

On the fence about this one..........2006-08-25

This was a strange book for me. I read about 100 pages of it in the library, and never checked it out to finish the book. A couple years later I picked the book up again and forced myself to get past the first 100 pages, and eventually I did finish it. So here's my review:

This is not a book I enjoyed when I first picked it up. I felt like Lisle presented too many highly graphic and derogatory scenes too early in the book. Such early violence is what drove me off, and will likely drive off other readers--not because of squeamishness, necessarily, but because of how fast Lisle hits you with seemingly gratuitious violence. Not only in there a scene of disemboweling and imminent rape, but there's also a scene where a six-year-old boy is drawn and quartered. Readers, be aware of this. But once you get past these scenes, the writing seems to mellow out a bit, and once I got past the novel's beginning, I started to enjoy the book a lot more.

The writing style is well developed and flows very evenly, without noticeable repetition of words or images. The world is also solidly developed, and though it's not the most interesting of worlds, it's not a complete rip-off or stereotype either. I was also glad that the names in the book were good and escaped the typical cheesy or stupid or fruity names typical to bad fantasy. Also, another positive for Lisle, the descriptions and creativity of the Scarred peoples is fantastic. The description of Rrrru-eeth is beautiful.

As for the characters... I think this is where Lisle slips up. Character development is spotty at best. Kait's character is interesting at first, but mostly because of her secret, monstrous self. Once that secret is out of the way, her character grows dull very fast. Hasmal is painted as a semi-intelligent, very cowardly character, but later on Lisle confers bravery on him in what I think is an unrealistic way. Uncle Dughall is just a typical uncle stereotype, with his fostering Kait's career and talents, and his actions as a sort of god-father. Not much depth there. Ry Sabir, though he has some depth and complexity, doesn't quite have enough.

While the plot of this novel is paced fast enough to keep most readers going, there are times when it progresses much too fast. The trip between continents for Kait, Hasmal, and Ian Draclas' crew progressed much too quickly and made it seem so easy that lots of ships should have made the journey. Lisle lost my belief when she tried to make such a trip seem rare, and when she tried to describe ancient, 1000 year ruins bursting with treasure at the end of this journey. I just could not believe that after such an easy journey, especially for Ry's ships (which was following Kait's) there would be so much untouched treasure on this other continent. What about greedy treasure hunters and glory seekers, Lisle? And there are other flaws in the plot. Lisle has Kait reveal her secret, other self to far too many people just in this first novel--after she supposedly kept her secret successfully hidden since she was born. That ruins the plot and Kait's character. And finally, the discovery of the Mirror of Souls was also written to fast and made too easy for the characters. I found that to be a bit lousy.

But because of the positive aspects of the book--excellent description, especially of the Scarred and of Kait's Shifting, and because the story itself is interesting enough, I did finally finish the book and found it mildly enjoyable. This book is pure escapist fantasy, as it's purpose is only for entertainment. It does not carry any underlying message or interpretation. So if you're sick of reading "heavy" literature, like any English college major, this is an entertaining break.

So, so..........2005-12-28

In a few words, this book makes for interesting bedtime reading. The world and characters are intriguing -although I found the main character's love interest the most believable- and the dark atmosphere turns a potentially typical, PG fantasy into a slightly more mature novel. This is probably the most unique trait of Lisle's otherwise unremarkable writing. Her plot leaves much to be desired as she drags on the story senselessly at times, and at others, employs plot devices (e.g. two souls/one body) overmuch. Her style of prose isn't itself a draw, as with other authors, much to my disappointment.

Overall, I would recommend for a quick read -along with the next two, as this is definitely no standalone- for those looking for atypical fantasy, not a masterpiece. Also, as others have noted, this is not for the squeamish.

Facinating.......2005-09-18

I found the character kait rather fun to follow around, she was strong and independant which i liked. The plot is interesting and was a good openinf for the trilogy.

Intriguing but dark.......2005-04-24

The person who sent this book to me commented that it was "brutal," which made me wonder what, exactly, I was getting myself into. I've read other books by Holly Lisle before and while I wouldn't classify any of them as brutal, I would classify them as dark, and I could easily see how she might cross over that line. It is, after all, but a short step from dark to brutal.

I suppose that, in a way, she was right. There were parts that, taken on their own, I would likely classify as brutal, but I don't think that the book as a whole qualifies. It is, however, definitely a dark fantasy; one in which no excuses are made and evil is given almost as much attention as good. This is not a typical fantasy book.

I think, though, that is a lot of its appeal. It was almost refreshing to read a book that was unapologetically dark, one that did not necessarily offer hope of a brighter tomorrow. It certainly isn't the type of book I would want to read all the time, but it did make a nice change of pace from my normal reading habits.

In Diplomacy of Wolves, Lisle weaves a world full of forbidden magic and intrigue, yet one with so much detail and thought that it seems real. Lisle is a talented world-builder, creating a believable place with many cultures and a solid history. Into it, she puts well-developed characters involved in complex, detailed plot that draws the reader in.

All in all, I would say that Diplomacy of Wolves is a very strong, well-written book.

The one thing that I had a problem with was part of the characterization of Kait, one of the main characters. For the most part, she is well-developed, with both flaws and strengths, and is actually a rather likeable character. However, in her interactions with one other character, she fails to notice obvious slip-ups that someone with her background wouldn't miss. These were the kind of slip-ups that were designed to let the reader know something that the characters weren't supposed to know yet, but they were so glaringly obvious that I found it annoying. Not only was the information conveyed in a poor manner, but it also diminished the characterization of the main character in the book. I can easily think of a few other ways to convey the needed information to the readers that wouldn't have gone against established character traits.

Other than the few slip-ups dealing with that particular information, the rest of the characterization was strong and well-done. In the layers of intrigue, the characters were not always aware of the truth about each other, but Lisle still managed to convey motivation to the readers, even when the characters themselves weren't fully aware of it.

I found the plot to be similarly strong, with several different layers intertwining, yet easy enough to follow and, with the exception of the before-mentioned incident, surprisingly lacking in holes. Given the complexity of the plot, I would have expected more things to slip by Lisle and I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was nothing else that really bothered me or felt as though it was missing.

The world Lisle created in Diplomacy of Wolves may be dark, but it's intriguing, and I for one cannot wait to read more.

Who cares about Kait?.......2005-02-24

The best part about this trilogy is that the chapters are very short and the print is very large. If they were longer I don't think I would have made it through the books. The only reason I read the trilogy was because of the annoyingly predictable cliffhanger in book one and my OCD-ish inability to let a book go unfinished.

The main characters are boring and unlikable, actually Kait grates on my nerves. Some of the minor characters like Ian are more palatable. The plot line is stupid and not captivating at all. Throughout the book it is a drawn out build up where Kait and the other characters worry about how in the world will they ever defeat the evil, then about a paragraph or two of our heroes easily vanquishing the current evil, a page of lull where our heroes have a nagging feeling that something is still wrong (the reader is tipped off by the 200 or so pages still left in the book). Then suddenly a new bad guy appears and the whole thing starts all over again.

I've read and enjoyed countless cheesy sci-fi/fantasy novels but Lisle's Secret Texts trilogy is horribly written with a boring plot line and irritating, poorly developed, vapid characters. I think suffering a skin rash would have been more pleasant and less irritating than struggling through Lisle's "adventures". If I could give negative stars I would have.

Book Description

Kait Galweigh is a diplomat - working to keep the Galweigh Family powerful, honorable and respected. Her particular task is to ensure that the arranged marriage of her flighty cousin, Tippa, is not compromised either by Tippa's own foolishness or by those who would see the Galweigh's fortunes founder. At a ball in celebration of the New Year and Tippa's marriage into the Dokteerak dynasty, Kait overhears the Paraglese of the Dokteerak and a member of the Sabir clan plotting against her Family. That she can hear the two men at all is thanks to a secret that she has kept hidden in fear of her life. Kait is Karnee - a monster in the eyes of the world - a shape shifter who in moments of crisis will transform into a wolf. In her life as a diplomat this other self is a blessing and a curse - she can, hear, see and smell with an acuity that show up the lies of politicians and kings, but her curse is that should she ever inadvertently reveal her skill, she will doom herself to a vicious death. DIPLOMACY OF WOLVES is the story of Kait and of Ry, a Sabir prince, also Karnee who would have her by his side despite the fact she is his enemy. It is also a story of a world that hides its glorious magic under a cloud of misinformation and misuse.

Arnold's detractors are entitled to their opinions, but their research is flawed........2006-07-19

Gina Arnold is a music critic. She's published articles in the Bay Area press and larger venues for twenty years. A professional critic is paid to go from concert to concert, band to band, interview people, review bodies of work and publish opinion pieces. She's expected to spot patterns in culture and history and put that criticism in a larger context, but publishes essays, not research papers.

Not agreeing with a critic's views or objecting to the volume at which they're expressed is valid, and their work is designed to provoke strong responses: publishers love it when the public has ANY loud comeback, pro or con. Dynamiting a professional's obligation to form and publish what are always represented as opinions betrays ignorance of what an art critic's job is, how it's done, and Arnold's credentials to do so.

re: "... just another book"
Arnold researched and wrote her book in 1991-92 - only two years after Nirvana's first album was released, and three before sensation over Cobain's suicide sent other social commentators scurrying to write their own books. A drive through BIP lists only one other title published before Arnold sent hers to press in '92. Sixteen years later, still in print and still provocative, "Route 666: On the Road to Nirvana" is not just another book on the band but one of the first out and most outspoken.

not bad but not great.......2005-01-21

if you read the other reviews of this book then you basically get the idea that this book is the road leading up to the band called nirvana. it is a one sided story seen thru gina arnold's eyes and does open up a wealth of info about a ton of bands that all deserve their day in the sun. my one problem is i found a number of discrepencies such as her naming chuck dukowski as the drummer of black flag? sorry sweetheart, he was the bass player.
all the incorrect info made me question the whole book and wonder what is true and what is false. she did stipulate that this book was about the "spirit" and not neccesarily about the bands individually but from my experience real fans know and cherish the music and the bands they adore. they know every detail. i dont doubt gina's love of the music but to me she appears as what i call a "scenester" someone who travels from one spot to another, from one scene to another because she thinks it makes her cool. she always seemed to be going off to another gig, never apart of a scene but in a state of constant motion, a state of constant flux. .
she does have the spirit of the music down pat and all in all the book is a good account of some great bands that all made it possible for the next wave to do their thing which all allowed nirvana to conquer the world as they did. i just wonder how accurate it all is.

greatest book ever.......2004-01-20

this book introduced me, as a teenager, to a whole new world of music. i bought it because i thought it would be about nirvana. wrong. it is about everything leading up to nirvana in the punk/indie music world. gina arnold is lucky to have lived this life and we are lucky she decided to write about it so we can experience it too.

Work On That Reading Comprehension.......2002-08-27

A certain verbose reader to the contrary, it is possible to be a male groupie. Millions exist worldwide. All you need is a toadying, self-serving bent and an overheated style. Groupies usually don't even think about seducing their idols; Danny Sugarman apparently never did. They are just thrilled by hanging around celebrities, name-dropping celebrities, having others associate them with celebrities, etc. Some of them, like Gina Arnold, happen to be gifted writers with a rare passion for music. The difference between a gifted, passionate groupie and a journalist is whether or not you have something to say. Not whether you woke up in Dave Groll's tour bus.

The trouble with Arnold's book is that her keenness for Punk is hard to share or to understand because she gives no coherent basis for it. Her account has no focus and no thesis. It contains the seeds of many brilliant debates - why is punk more valid than metal, what are the roots of sexism and ageism in punk, why is a Deadhead's worship of old music bad but a Punk's worship of old music good (??)- that are quickly discarded in the rush to the next faaabulous show. After 200 pages of this tantalizing hodgepodge, you stop ascribing it to some anarchic "punk rock" ethos and start suspecting laziness.

Often, Arnold's gusto drowns out the story she's trying to tell. She is more interested in describing how she felt about a particular show or band than what occurred or what the performers were like. Her voice is mostly self-reflexive, sort of a "look-what-a-fun-person-I-am" exhibitionism. Worse, her lapdog credulity allows her to be bamboozled by the Butthole Surfers in a mock-interview that a real journalist would've seen through in a second. Byron Coley she's not.

Despite these flaws, Arnold's understanding of Punk seems far superior to most of her male peers'. Her book's failings have nothing to do with gender and everything to do with bad reporting. Free Speech Advocates who smear other fans for expressing their opinions should find the maturity to stop projecting their sexism onto others.

P.S.-Love the scene where Arnold and friend, clad in business suits, strut through a posh parking garage setting off car alarms, then smugly ascribe their impunity to the security guards' "looking for Negroes to blame." Ooh, rebel city! So working-class people are de facto racist, Ms. Arnold? And, I wonder if the guards did find an African American scapegoat? Someone always suffers for this kind of declasse' suburban posing, and it is usually an underdog.

just another nirvana book.......2001-11-15

Just another post punk book nothing special. If you buy it to read try to buy it used. Gives you the same ol same ol in every other nirvana book.

A very welcome return.......2006-07-12

Like other reviewers I am a big fan of the Dark Future books since they first line came out in the early 1990s, they were some of my favorite reads in college and had a great blend of dark humor, satire and mad ideas. It wasn't until years later that I learned Jack Yeovil was in fact a pen name for British horror writer Kim Newman which led me to pick up his other books.

Now his Demon Download series returned to print.

I just got the new Route 666, which seems a expanded and updated version of the short story Route 666 from the 90s short story collection Route 666 (ug, I know it's a cool name but this is a bit much).

There have been some changes, the time line was updated, the world will no longer end in 1999 but apparently will end in the 2020s, Oliver North is no longer president , Emilio Estevez is. But other things were preserved, Marilyn Monroe is a forgotten fat actress from the old I Love Ronnie show, Col Elvis Aron Presley is still the meanest SoB in the South, evil Cthulu worshiping Mormons still threaten reality and people still drive around in spikey cars with lots of guns on them.

I'm about half-way through and enjoying it as much as the first set of books. Strong recommendation for Route 666, Demon Download and the rest of Jack Yeovil's Dark Future books.

Hopefully this will lead to the long-awaited conclsion of the series that was not printed the first time around. I remember hearing it was lost in a computer crash years back.

Great to see these books again!.......2006-06-26

I loved this series when Games Workshop first published them in the late 80s and I'm very happy to see them updated and back in print.

Looking forward to the completion of the Route 666/Demon Download saga.

Strongly recommended to all readers with an interest in apocalyptic fiction or occult horror.......2006-05-03

Book 2 of the "Demon Download Cycle", Dark Future: Route 666 is an engaging and welcome addition to the dark fantasy series by Jack Yeovil. Elder Nguyen Seth is an evangelist in an America blinded with a media controlled by big business and shadowy corporations. Enthralling readers in an ever-twisting plot, Dark Future: Route 666 carries readers through the life of US Cavalry trooper Leona Tyree as the questioning of Elder Seth's actual intentions begins. Dark Future: Route 666 is very strongly recommended to all readers with an interest in apocalyptic fiction or occult horror, as well as fans who are already following the "Demon Download Cycle". Also strongly recommended is the first book in this outstanding series, Dark Future: Demon Download.

Appeals to Different Tastes.......2006-07-13

In general, I like things like "Teen Titans" and "X-Men: Evolution." My husband likes traditional fantasy comics. So when we got Forge, a CrossGen sampler book, we both really liked Route 666. We were kind of amazed that a horror story could appeal to both of us, with our decidedly different tastes.

It's well-written and well-drawn. CrossGen bankrupted before they could finish the story but, as the comic store man told us, Route 666 could probably have gone on another 5 years without getting any closer to a resolution.

I've only found two books of it thus far: "Highway to Horrors" and "Most Haunted." There were 21 issues published, and this book includes the first six. It's still a tasty tidbit to own. (They were even going to make a TV show out of it a while back.) I highly recommend it.

not a franchize like x-men or spiderman, this is unique.......2003-10-23

I think a lot of people don't give books like this one a chance because it isn't a well known name and just started. I recommend you give this a chance though. I never read a comic like this before. It has tons of twists and turns making you wonder what will happen next. I honestly could never tell where the story was going to take me and i loved that. I have read tons of comics before and this one is the most underrated of them all.

As for what happens in it, I'm not at making a book seem interesting because i'm a bad writer myself. Basically though, its a girl that sees things no one else can see, ghosts. She ends up killing people she thinks are ghosts. This makes her go on the run. Is she insane? Is she for real? You the reader are left to wonder that.

Exit: Route 666 - Dead Ahead.......2003-05-25

I first picked up issue #5 of Route 666 on a trip to my local comic shop last October. There was nothing particularly interesting besides this. I had thought it would be some drab horror story, but it wasn't! it was much more than that.

ROUTE 666 is the story of Cassie Starkweather, a young girl who has the ability to see supernatural entities. She is taken to a mental hospital after claiming that she has seen her dead friend's ghost, who was taken down Route 666 by mysterious entities. She escapes from the hospital after realizing that it's head doctor is really an agent for the Adversary. However, the creatures return to human form when they are dead, which leads the authorities to believe that Cassie is a dangerous criminal. Along the way she makes both friends and enemies alike. She also learns that all these creatures work around people who are near death, so that they can take their souls to the Adversary.

One thing I love about this series is that you can jump in any time you want, and know the story. At the beginning of each issue is a 'letter' written by a character that appeared in the previous issue, which relates details from that issue and that character's perspective.

I highly reccomend this engaging series for anyone who loves horror and suspense. This comic has equal amounts of both.

moves very quickly.......2003-05-09

This was an enjoyable little story. I'm an avid comic reader and can't say that the horror genre is my favorite (although Hellboy is classic stuff), but I bought this because I've enjoyed other CrossGen series. I have to say, there's some horror cliches in here (especially the "misunderstood" main character who no one believes) but the art is excellent, the story moves quick, the writing is good...and I can't wait to read the second part! (nothing is resolved at the end of this one). Recommended if you're looking for a fun, quick-paced comic story (one caveat: some blood and guts involved, but remember it's horror!)
