Book Description

They live in a world divided: in Elysium, on one side of the electro-magnetic Border, reign the Procurators and Reverands, descendants of early 21st Century power elites and those who aped them; on the other live the Freelanders, whose democratic city-colonies, including the lesbian settlement of Isis, have established a safe haven for social progress. Now, as the satellites that maintain the Border threaten to fail, all of Freeland is menaced by war with Elysium. The women of Isis refuse to wait idly for slaughter. Led by Tomyris Whitaker and her chief of staff -- and former lover -- Loy Chen, they are attempting to launch a mission to replace the deteriorating satellites that protect the Border. But General Medusa is convinced that a civilian task force cannot succeed in this critical mission and challenges their control. As Whitaker and Medusa play politics, sparks fly between the rival women they have each chosen to pilot the shuttle, Loy Chin and Major Mika Reno. But the crumbling Border satellites cannot wait for the orderly process of the Council, nor the disorderly love affairs as the women cling to what may be their last taste of freedom.On the ground, Whit`s partner, Kali Tyler, works frantically to restore the Border by revising the computer programs her mother created years ago to protect Freeland. As Whitaker and Kali leave one another, they are fired by memories of their own mothers` deaths in the previous attack on Isis, and by the desire to live in a free world where they can raise the child Kali is carrying. As love and duty become one, the lesbians of Isis risk their lives in a battle of wits and courage that will determine whether women will live free or die enslaved.

Well, once again, good for laughs.

Fast pace--compelling characters--marvelous storytelling.......2003-01-31

From 1992 to 1995, Jean Stewart published three speculative adventure/romance books about the women of Isis (Return to Isis, Isis Rising, and Warriors of Isis). Upon completion of that trilogy, it seemed that the story of the Isis society and the two main characters, Whit and Kali, was completed. Not so. Stewart surprises and delights with a new trilogy beginning with Winged Isis.

The women of Isis live in Freeland, a democratic city-colony on one half of the U.S., which is protected by an invisible Border. On the other side is Elysium where religious fanatics, corrupt men, and the regulators, a Gestapo-type of police force live violent, miserable lives. The highly technological and deadly Elysium men want nothing more than to destroy Isis and take their resources, and only the Border shield powered from the satellites is stopping them. They have been kept out for over eight decades, but now the Border shows signs of decay and breakdown.

Tomyris ýWhitý Whitaker and her psychologically adept partner, Kali Tyler, are leaders in Isis who want to prevent disaster before the Border breaks down. The satellites which power the invisible shield must be repaired. But there is dissension in the ranks as well as treachery and sabotage. Can the satellites be repaired? And what sacrifices will be made? Kali is pregnant with their child. Will they manage to maintain a society that is safe for their unborn daughter and for all children? Or will they fall prey to the violent, fundamentalist Elysians?

Jean Stewart has created a fascinating society that is especially interesting because harmony is not necessarily the state of affairs in Isis. Unlike many Utopias, the women of Isis disagree and fight about things, and power struggles are typical. The secondary characters are strong and fully fleshed out, and provide a worthy counterpoint to Kali and Whitýs struggles on behalf of Isis.

Stewartýs writing style is crisp and clear. She gives enough back story to thoroughly ground this new trilogy in the facts of the previous books without overwhelming the reader, and then she moves quickly into the meat of the conflict. Unlike many sci-fi/fantasy stories, the author doesnýt resort to magic and highly fantastical tricks. The women in Isis are scientifically and psychologically gifted, and they use those talents as much as possible, but their society is not a world of sorcery and magicians. This places Stewartýs work in its own special category: a hybrid of science fiction, adventure, and romance in a uniquely lesbian framework.

Winged Isis has a complex plot, a fast pace, compelling characters, and a surprise ending that will leave the reader excited and ready for the next book in the series, which, one can only hope, will be published soon. Winged Isis is marvelous storytelling, and I give Stewart sincere kudos for bringing the women of Isis back to life again.
~Lori L. Lake, Midwest Book Review

Serve & protect.......2002-06-10

Whit and her partner Kali lead their city of Isis and the women of Freeland in endeavors to repair the electromagnetic border which separates them from the feudal and zealous Elysium. When a rival military leader bids for control of the project, Whit and her project leader Loy get involved in a political chess game which ultimately distracts them from their objective and proves fatal. Loy and the woman who's confusing her heart and mind rocket to space to repair the satellites to fix the border. Meanwhile, the city of Isis is the next target of Elysium, and Whit and her attack force are determined to keep their home safe at any cost. Stewart's captivating tale presents an exciting world where men are nearly nonexistent, but humanity is still struggling to make it all work. I haven't read the other Isis books yet, but I certainly want to now!

Pure Feminist Sci-Fi.......2001-08-15

A long time ago I gave up on feminist science fiction because the political correctness far outweighed its visionary aspects. The last such novel I enjoyed was book 3 of the Isis series. I didn't know I'd have to wait 5 years for book 4.

I found this installment walking the fine line of feminist philosophy and good action/plotting. The women aren't either warriors or politicians, but a mix of both, and they aren't perfect. Their crisis is so intense that no one can just sit back and offer their input while others do the work -- it's put up or shut up time.

Wonderfully, it's very clear from the ending that book 5 will be written soon. Kali needs Whit back. The love stories that interweaves the action is intense and the erotic content an extension of character development.

Fans of the Isis series will like this one. Anyone hungry for a story about a community of women struggling, loving and surviving will like this one.

Worth waiting for.......2001-06-25

I'm glad Ms. Stewart took her time writing this fourth Isis-book, because it is as well balanced as the first one. Good attention to characters, a nice love-story, the relationship between Whit and Kali still going stronger and a very believable story-line with lots of action gives this book for me a very good second place in the Isis-series [Return To Isis will allways be my favourite]. Hopefully the next book in the series will be as good as this one is.

War Surfing...?.......2006-07-28

This novel atrracted my attention from the get-go. Nice cover artwork. Good title. The writer seems to have a solid grasp of sci-fi writing.

But after over halfway thru the bloody thing, wheres all the war!? Almost no action here. Needs a lot more bloody action and war-mongering happening here if you are going to title it War Surf.

The story is a good idea. The characters are different and quite interesting, changing somewhat as the book goes along. But unfortunately, after awhile, my interest starting waning. After reading a Richard K. Morgan novel, it is kinda hard to slog thru this type of sci-fi novel that doesn't deliver a more hard-edged tone.

Really need to do that, M. M. Buckner.

What A Mess.......2006-06-02

I picked up this book because I'd recently been going back and reading the Phillip K Dick winners (the annual award for best Sci-Fi in paperback.) This is the 2006 winner and, having just read such GREAT novels as Vacuum Diagrams, Altered Carbon, and Life, I had high expectations.

120 pages in I was ready to put the book down and move on to something else. This book is a mish-mash of clichés, boring stock characters that I found totally unredeeming, and painfully heavy-handed symbolism. There is a germ of a good idea here that I found, at times, enjoyable but it was not worth reading the entire novel.

Since there is a summary on the website and in other reviews, we already know who Nasir Deepra and Sheeba are. Nasir is vain and in lust with Sheeba. His friends are bored zillionaires who booze and drug themselves for entertainment. Sheeba is naivé and flakey.

Fine.

But their personalities are stock and assembled out of such painfully obvious clichés. None of them are painted in a way that is fresh or interesting. Nasir carries a mirror in his pocket which he is constantly pulling out to check his hair with. Anything Sheeba says to him throughout the course of the novel is GUARANTEED to be misinterpreted (there is never ONCE a moment when he doubts himself for going completely the opposite direction with what she says to him.) He gets jealous whenever anybody talks to her in the same way a six year old might. His friends go on benders for days at a time and approach death as though they were watching a cartoon. Sheeba is a physical therapist and is always spouting new age hippy jargon. I found it hard to believe that any of these people could function in ANY society, let alone live for 200+ years, run trillion dollar companies, and "SURF" wars.

I'm all for anti-heros (see Altered Carbon) but nothing about the way these characters are written was new or fresh or interesting - and since the book takes 100 pages to get going you're forced to spend 2-3 days with these people that you wouldn't want to spend 10 minutes with in real life. I kept waiting for things to get better and for some actual character development to occur. Sheeba (who might have saved the book had it been written from her perspective) experiences an instant and (as such) inexplicable change "off camera." Nasir's friends never change and by page 336 Nasir himself writes "By now you may have asked yourself...why you keep browsing this memoir. The narrator...has no redeeming traits." 336! Thats 39 pages from the END!

Then...he changes. Completely unmotivated. There is no indication as to whether his change is caused by the horrors that he created (to which he'd been completely oblivious to up to that point,) or a (avoiding a spoiler here) third party has caused it. But the change is virtually instant. It occurs in two or three sentences. After spending over 300 pages with these dull idiots I thought, at least, I'd be treated to torturous introspection or grandious revelation. But the pivotal moment was almost arbitrary.

Adding insult to boredom was the symbolism, again heavy handed and obvious. Without being too specific, HEAVEN, BLOOD, IMMORTALITY, THE GARDEN. Ugh.

There were one or two people that I actually liked in here but their page real estate was too small to be any kind of saving grace. Again the book might have been a LOT more fun if it had been written from Sheeba's perspectve. Then again maybe not. If you're interested in reading some really good sci-fi, check out the last five Philip K Dick winners but...you might want to skip this one.

Couldn't get past the first 30 pages.......2006-05-30

I am going to do something unusual here and review a book I did not finish, purely as a warning to other potential readers. I do not wish to trash this book or the author; I did not finish the novel so perhaps if I had kept going it may have gotten better. I do wish to warn people thinking of purchasing the book of my impression of the first part so they can make an informed decision on whether this is something they wish to embark upon. Others readers have written reviews here on the entire reading and so this review should help balance the overall picture. So those who felt they had a better experience and believe the book is wonderful, please bear with me while I explain both why I did not finish this book and the flaw I saw which led to me to cast it aside.

I had really hoped for a great sci-fi read here, brimming with new ideas and great action sequences. I have never read this author before but the book looked like it may be a winner online. I couldn't stomach the first thirty pages though and have tossed the book aside. There were two problems with this book initially. The first was that the characters involved were self-absorbed, shallow, loathsome egoists with no redeeming qualities. I hated them, did not care about them or their lives, and didn't wish to learn anything more of them. I thought at first that the girlfriend of the protagonist would be used as a foil to turn the character from an anti-hero to an interesting, complex character with a conscience but she turned out to be a vacuous teenager no more interesting than a screen image on MTV. With no empathy for any of the characters, in fact harboring an active dislike, I went thirty pages looking for something worthwhile or interesting in the form of character development. It didn't show up. Perhaps it did later but thirty pages with no hint of it put me off my feed. Thirty pages of super-rich MTV brats in space without the slightest regard for the fellow humans was all I could take before looking for a character with more character.

My second problem is that there wasn't a single idea in the first thirty pages. Science fiction is supposed to have some science in it. Really good science fiction brings in new ideas and technologies and shows how humanity and their societies are changed, influenced or formed by ideas, science and technologies. I didn't see one idea here that said "sci-fi" to me. There is some awesome sci-fi out there right now, chock-full of ideas on every page, brimming with action, and containing interesting, complex characters. I suggest Neal Asher (especially for action), Richard K. Morgan, Peter F. Hamilton, and Alastair Reynolds for starters. These guys write books that make you wish you could give them six stars.

So my advice is to pass on this book. I could be wrong and maybe this develops into a good book, but the first thirty pages are so off-putting I feel the odds are against that. Good authors and good stories don't make you suffer from the first page. Even if this novel does get better, why suffer through the first part at all when there are so many other great sci-fi books that grab you by the jugular from the first page and give you a non-stop thrill ride while also stimulating your mind?

Buckner Shoots ...And Scores!.......2006-01-19

Nasir Deepra, an executive in the 23rd century, is an Agonist, a group of men and women who've outlived their usefulness and are bored with life. So they use their ample wealth to run into war zones-many of them in orbit around the now polluted Earth-and film their daring activities. They have a huge fan-base who watch them on the Net, too, and the Agonists revel in all of the attention.

Nasir (the main character) is also in love with a beautiful physical therapist named Sheeba who hangs out with him because of his "multiplexed soul" and battered body-Nasir is 248 years old, kept young by nanotechnology that permeates every cell in his body.

But when a war surf goes awry and the Agonists lose their first place position amongst other surfers, something drastic has to be done. So they decide to go to Heaven, a class 10 difficulty war zone (1 being easy and 10 being the toughest), in order to get back on top.

Nasir is extremely hesitant to go, as he is on the board of directors that controls Heaven and knows why it's a class 10. But Sheeba helps talk him into going and it is here that everything falls apart ...

Nasir and Sheeba are captured by workers who control Heaven. Nasir has to come to terms with what he and his corporation have been doing to the men, women and children onboard this satellite. Twenty-third century unethical and immoral issues attack Nasir every second: giving blood, helping "workers" (lesser people), and coming to terms with his age and lack of usefulness. A "disease" runs rampant amongst Heaven's workers, and Nasir and Sheeba might very well become infected.
___________________________________________________________________________________

Not having read any of this author's previously hailed works (HYPERTHOUGHT and NEUROLINK), I approached this science fiction work as a Buckner virgin. Being a bit of an SF buff myself, I always approach newly introduced authors to this genre with a grain of salt poised on my tongue. But here, I need not have worried.

Buckner layers WAR SURF with so many ethical, moral and religious undertones that I dare say any reader will find enjoyment on some level within these pages. There's an underlying current dealing with mortality and the need for the rejuvenation of youth. There's advanced biological technology that may or may not be helpful. There's the recycling of humans in great nutrient vats. And, toward the end, there's the obvious "eat and drink of me and you will live forever" religious parallels to the Christian faith.

This might sound a bit heavy-handed, but it's not. Buckner has complete control over the story and never preaches to the reader. WAR SURF unfolds in a first person narrative through the eyes of Nasir, and it is through him that we learn the ways of this time and this Earth. Not once did I feel that the author was forcing information onto me (something that's quite refreshing).

My only beef with the novel would be that Buckner occasionally utilized 20th century terms that took me out of the 23rd century and flung me back into my own time (i.e., jet skis, Chilli Diablo, etc.), but this was pretty seldom.

If you're looking for a wonderful SF read that doesn't get bogged down in details and has great characters and a believable futuristic premise, you couldn't go wrong here.

Fun read.......2005-12-15

Buckner's third attempt surpasses her first but doesn't quite live up to the second. If you have read the second book, Neurolink, you may find a lot of the same plot elements in War Surf.

This book is about characters that surf "wars", semi-violent litigations between execs and protes, for the adrenaline rush. Two of the characters get stranded on a satalite and have to befriend protes to survive. Life lessons are learned and the protes end up teaching the execs.

My major problem was with the pacing. The story is told in flashback from a dying exec on the satalite. The author then takes too long in getting the characters too the satalite. There is a lot of debate on whether or not they should go when you already know they will. It just kind of drug on at that point. Once the characters get on the satalite the pace picks up and the story is fairly entertaining.

My only other problem was with the main characters characterization. He doesn't seem realistic in his actions or thoughts. It was a more appropriate characterization for a spoiled teenager than a 200+ man.

Not the authors fault, but the cover doesn't really represent the book or the world in which the book lies, but that is nitpicking.

I would recommend this book to sci fi fans. Due to sexual content, not graphic, 16 up.

"must have" cookbook, low carb or not.......2007-10-09

This cookbook is a must have whether you are low carbing it or not. It contains such a wide variety of recipes, not the same old low carb you've seen a hundred times. There are no weird ingredients and George's tips are wonderful. I was highly skeptical of the almond flour, but I tried it in the pumpkin muffins and they are terrific. My 12 year old son had no idea they were low carb! I also recommend the pork souvlaki with tzatziki sauce. It's so good!

Wonderful !!.......2007-09-29

I've been looking for low carb recipes and finally found some good ones with George Stella's books. I LOVE the recipes he has in all his books !!
