Stealing Some Time:Volume 1 (Parts 1 and 2)

Book Description

Winner of the

2004 Stonewall Society Imagination Literary Award

for best gay-themed science fiction.

“It is 2479 AD. Technical Sergeant Kallen Deshara and his team have traveled from the 25th century to the 19th. Their mission: to eliminate powerful ion storms caused by the very device that opened the portal to the past. If they don't succeed, their present may cease to exist! Once done, they'll return home and the future will be as it should be.

But Kallen didn't plan on meeting Aaric Utzman, a young cartographer from post-colonial America. Nor did he plan to fall in love with him. He must find a way for them to stay together or Aaric will have been dead for over six hundred years after Kallen's return. No matter what he decides, the past, the present, and the future will be irrevocably altered.”

Can't wait for Volume II.......2006-08-29

I throughly enjoyed this book and can not wait for the second volume to come so I can find out what happened. Really a great read.

Dull and Predictable... A Waste of Time and Money.......2006-08-12

In Stealing Some Time, Mr. Kendrick created a very interesting futuristic world. That is, IMHO, the only thing that saves this book from certain death (hense the one star rating)...or maybe not.

The science fiction aspect of the story was the most interesting part of this book...that is, if you enjoy reading highly technical science fiction explained in very painstaking detail. In other words, if you don't know what a photonogrid is, you'll not only learn what one is but also be able to configure one by the end of this book. That being said, there were times that the technical aspects of the story interrupted the flow of the book. At times I felt it tedious and I am one that ADORES science fiction.

I did not find Kallen Deshara, the protagonist, the least bit interesting. He seemed one-dimensional and superficial, perfect in every way (except he's gay-seen in this book as an abomination). The men he becomes involved with (which makes me wonder why there is still homophobia in the year 2479?) are all instantly attracted to him and are, of course, all perfect and gorgeous...yeah right.

There is a paranormal romantic aspect in the story as Kallen timewarps (by way of portal) back to the 1800's where he meets the (yawn) most beautiful man he ever laid eyes on, Aaric (pronounced Eric...insert chuckle here). Of course, as predicted, the two engage in a physical relationship (as they are both instantly hot for each other, go figure) and eventually fall in love (bet you didn't see that one coming). Kallen risks it all by not going back to his time in order to stay with Aaric...who'd of thunk?

The book ends with the portal closing, and Kallen and Aaric paddling their canoe into the sunset. Yeah.

I did not find myself cheering for Kallen and Aaric as I felt there was no chemistry between them outside of lust. And dialogue between Kallen and Aaric was, often times, so cheesy...I was wincing in pain.

And there's a part 2?

a romance.......2006-04-10

(I am not a native speaker, please overlook my style)

This novel is far from flawless, nearly all the premises are quite wrong.

Let's start with editorial aspects: this book is rather short but has been nonetheless divided in two volumes, each available for an outrageous price. The cover art is pityful and the backcover is printed with the usual misleading blurb.

The writing is so simple it easily borders the simple-mindedness; many passages, such as the extended physical descriptions, are rather clumsy, the shifts of narrator are often unclear and several silly inconsistencies could have been avoided. The SF is very soft, not entirely believable in its social implications and the novel itself focuses more on coming of age and homophobia than on creating a complex universe.

Still, this work results as a page turner: the story may be too simple and straightforward but flows unerringly, characters are extremely commonplace but easy to rely to: the main hero's quest for love and intimacy is nothing unheard of but you love him just the same.
Probably the appeal of this book lies in its stressing the basic needs of human beings: freedom, self esteem, friendship, peace of mind: the author manages to give them due importance and gets his reader's attention.

There is some explicit sex in this book, not always well written but always tasteful; this notwithstanding I would recommend it to teens, and I do not mean gay teens only, because it can give them a lot of basic stuff to meditate about.

Magnificent Novel..........2005-08-29

I've read plenty of books with 'Gay' undertones too them but this BOOK by far beats out all...'Stealing Some Time' Book 1&2 is not only interesting,sexy and thy most important thing of all, it KEEPS the READING WANTING more after it ends and i definitely WANTED more and kept reading until i finished the whole set, which ends with Book 3..I Have too say, i'm a little disappointed that it's not longer..Book 1,2,3 that is...

Great storyline and very creative..How the author sticks the historty of a World that could've been and might've been too how it all changed due to ONE person's desire's and hope for WAR Peace etc...

As for book too, look for my review on it...

This book doesn't only deserve 5 stars..

Nice love story - but three "books?".......2004-03-08

Great little sci-fi love story. However, "books" 1 and 2 (together in one binding) are not at all self contained. To get one full story out of it you need to buy book 3 along with 1 and 2. One wonders what the point is in calling this a three book set. I'd call it three parts in two books. It isn't a trilogy - trilogies are usually pretty much three self contained and related stories in three books. Beats the heck out of me...

Book Description

In his four-volume series Return to Neveryeon, Hugo and Nebula award-winner Samuel R. Delany appropriated the conceits of sword-and-sorcery fantasy to explore his characteristic themes of language, power, gender, and the nature of civilization. Wesleyan University Press has reissued the long-unavailable Neveryeonvolumes in trade paperback.

The eleven stories, novellas, and novels in Return to Neveryeon's four volumes chronicle a long-ago land on civilization's brink, perhaps in Asia or Africa, or even on the Mediterranean. Taken slave in childhood, Gorgik gains his freedom, leads a slave revolt, and becomes a minister of state, finally abolishing slavery. Ironically, however, he is sexually aroused by the iron slave collars of servitude. Does this contaminate his mission -- or intensify it? Presumably elaborated from an ancient text of unknown geographical origin, the stories are sunk in translators' and commentators' introductions and appendices, forming a richly comic frame.

Customer Reviews:

Fantasy with a sense of reality.......2003-03-23

The longest of the Neveryon tales (the other collections are of a bunch of stories each, some novel length, most novella) as well as the second volume overall, this one really gives Delany the chance to stretch out and explore the culture of this world he's created in such detail. The story of a teenage girl Pryn with a goal in mind but basically winds up wandering around all over, encountering all sorts of people and places. However the book is much more than a simple travelogue, and Delany is too smart to reduce the story to simple Point A to Point B to Point C writing. The themes of slavery and sexuality (and when they intersect) are still explored, though not as prominently, but instead Delany chooses to focus more on the nature of power and myth, and how the perception of reality can create myth and perhaps even alter reality. Pyrn herself is a lot of fun, a strong female character, clever enough to follow her own agenda but not completely immune to the forces of other scheming around her. Some other characters make appearances, Gorgik gets basically a glorified guest star appearance but like all the stories, even when he's not in the story itself, his presence informs the actions of all the characters. Pryn's quest takes her all over and if the novel has any problems it seems to ramble at points and not go anywhere, as if Delany couldn't find the right balance between showcasing his culture or making an intellectual point, both of which are harder to sustain over the course of an entire novel. However these are minor issues and will only marginally affect anyone's enjoyment in the book (you also don't need a doctorate in whatever to understand the themes, while a decent amount of this probably went over my head, you can read and enjoy the story just the same) and the rich detail of the Neveryon culture is intact and expanded on brilliantly, from the decadence of the cities to the noble squalor of the huts and villages. His culture feels real but the book doesn't feel like a dissertation. Probably the best prawise I can give is that even with all the highbrow stuff, Delany didn't forget to actually write a story, and given the usual state of fantasy, that's high praise indeed.

Book Description

Through brilliant portraits of real persons who created the myths and realities of the 1930s, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Murray Kempton brings that turbulent decade to life. Himself a child of the time, Kempton examines with the insight and imagination of a novelist the men and women who embraced, grappled with, and in many cases were destroyed by the myth of revolution. What he calls the "ruins and monuments of the Thirties" include Paul Robeson, Alger Hiss, and Whittaker Chambers, the Hollywood Ten, the rebel women Elizabeth Bentley and Mary Heaton Vorse, and the labor leaders Walter Reuther and Joe Curran.

Essential reading to understanding Communism in the U.S........2004-02-21

Picked this one up through reference in a biography dictionary on Communism in the United States. Glad I did. This is a hidden gem.

Mr. Kempton does not approach the issue from a philosophical or principle orinted point of view. He doesn't discuss Communism and its ideals or compare and contrast various belief systems. He approaches it from a personal standpoint. He takes several peripheral characters, for the most part, and unfolds their lives. Apparently, he himself was involved in ascending into the Communist camp for a time.

Rather than deal with the major players, he deals with minor players (minor, to me anyhow, as I'd never heard of many of them). This is what makes it interesting. By delving into the lives of these characters, he puts the times into a greater context by which we come to understand the appeal of Communism and its part in the broader scope of the 1920s and 1930s.

Labor unrest, the Communist thread, the radicalism during this period and the economic devastation is something we seem to be one step removed from these days and the impact this period of time had on people is often lost. It's amazing how much what is said in this book rings true today. Truly history repeats itself.

Not only do we begin to understand the times but we begin to see how diverse and different those who decided to take up its banner really were and how Communism was not necessarily the direct appeal but it was a means to an end, a reaction rather than proaction.

He is sympathetic towards his characters and you feel the pathos as you read about their lives. They become very human and very real, something often lacking in history books. There is a tinge of sadness surrounding all the individuals in the book. His writing style is quite fresh and dramatic with a flair for the metaphor.

If you wish to understand what was going on during this period of time and what the appeal of Communism was and why these individuals jumped on the bandwagon, this book is a must read.

Book Description

In sparse, evocative prose, T Cooper tells the story of four splintered lives: Isak is a "gender freak" to the world at large. Taylor is so simultaneously perfect, yet useless, that she is paralyzed. Her mother Arlene is lonely and pill-popping, while Arlene's brother Charlie faces the unexpected-even unwanted-prospect of being healthy with HIV. Fractured lives in various forms of exile eventually join to re-forge a definition of family from the ashes.

T Cooper received an MFA in fiction writing from Columbia University. For some time, T doubled as T-Rok, a member of the heart-throbby Backdoor Boys performance troupe. T's work-both fiction and non-fiction-has appeared in a variety of magazines, journals and anthologies. This is a first novel.

An excellent 1st Novel.......2007-10-02

A great first novel by an excellent young author and cool person in general. I really enjoyed the character development and how each chapter was narrated from the voice of a different character. The characters were all very interesting in themselves and I found myself connecting with each in some way--seeing aspects of myself in each. It was a bit tough though when the book ended, I felt, a bit abruptly. I was left wanting to know more about how each fictional person's life developed. To me that's a sign of a masterfully written book. And to think this is T's first book!

Nice try.......2006-02-17

Typical minimalist prose novel marketed to pomo urbanites. Some of the characters are interesting and on the whole the book was vaguely entertaining. However the "plot" (was there one?) was cookie cutter cliched and unsatisfying. The good part was that I was able to tear through this book in an afternoon since the writing is in no way adorned with literary devices or descriptions.

Sad, sad people.......2005-03-12

The four characters of this book lead sad lives. You have "beautiful" freeloading Taylor, who doesn't do anything for herself, because her looks will take care of everything for her, Arlene, the depressed divorcee, bitter, dying Charlie, and Isak the heartless hustler. What sad and horrible people. We never know just how "beautiful" Taylor is because she's never really described. Her story is the only one told in third person, the other three are in first person. We only get to see her through everyone else's eyes.
I give this book three stars becuase it is an interesting read, though there's nothing spectacular about the wiritng and the characters are constantly complaining about how pathetic they are. Despite that, they're interesting. Sad, but interesting.

some of the parts . . . are missing.......2004-05-24

It took me over three weeks to read this 264 page novel, not because I'm a slow reader but because it was so painstakingly hard to get into. I kept reading, waiting for something, anything to happen. Writing about four loosely related, depressed, one-dimensional individuals with no plot or real story to tell does not make a novel.

We have Arlene, the so-called pill-popping divorcee. She only popped pills ONCE in the entire novel! Taylor, Arlene's bisexual oh-so-beautiful, I'm-bored-with-life-because-I-get-everything-I-want-without-trying daughter. Cry me a river! What's so bad about living in a mansion with a multi-millionaire movie producer who loves you? Or having a lesbian lover who wants to make you a partner in her B&B? Charlie, Arlene's brother dying of AIDS related illness. Pluhhhease! How many times has that story been told? In this day and age, so few people are dying of AIDS related illnesses unless they're not taking their medication. And Isak, a girl living as a boy/male hustler and Charlie's roommate/whatever. The dynamics of their relationship is never explained and after trudging through 200+ pages you just don't care.

Adding to this is the narrative told in each character's voice. It seems as if the only character Cooper is not comfortable with is Taylor. Taylor's chapters are written in a detached third person narrative that didn't seem essential to the storyline. I found myself dreading reading her chapters as her story could have been told through the other narratives. Arlene, Charlie and Isak are written in an engaging first person narrative, which made their stories easier to get into, but switching from first person to third person was a bit disruptive to the novel's flow. Arlene was the most interesting character to me. Some of the Parts could have been told completely from her POV and would have been a far more entertaining read.

Cooper's writing is mediocre, rife with stereotypical cliches not interesting enough to make you want to read it again or recommend it to anyone. Possibly the most compelling aspect of the novel is the cover art. Save yourself the grief and skip Some of the Parts.

Couldn't Get Through It.......2003-06-29

I found her style of writing contrived and immature which made it hard to have any feelings for the characters. If there's anything underneath the trying to be cool veneer I didn't get there. I suppose it may be interesting to the younger crowd but if you need substance and depth to your reading skip this one.

an excellent book, all that I was hoping for in a great conclusion, and yet an amazing lead into the crystal shard book.
we have asked and Salvatore has given, a great book for one who loves fine characters, great plots, and above all, a good story.

sets a great and believable stage for life above ground for drizzt.......2007-02-23

again, enjoyed the book, nothign spectacular, but enough creativity, action, and drizzt to make it 5 stars. one of the most likable charatcers ive ever read about it, i like his silent sidekick also.

BEAUTIFUL!.......2007-01-08

The graphic novel adaptation of R.A. Salvatore's monumental Dark Elf Trilogy comes to an exciting conclusion in Sojourn from Devil's Due Publishing. Drizzt Do'Urden has fled from his home deep under the surface with his faithful companion Guenhwyvar, the magical black panther, always on the run from his Drow who wish to kill him. Despite the sun weakening him, Drizzt cannot help but stare at each new dawn in his strange new world. He comes upon a village of peaceful farmers, observing them from afar, and even killing the Gnolls who want his aid in attacking the small settlement.

But when a family of farmers is murdered, Drizzt is blamed sending a vengeful hunter named McGristle on his trail. Drizzt slays the real killers, two Barghests from the lower planes but finds himself on the run from McGristle, and a party of adventurers led by the Ranger Dove Falconhand. When Drizzt aids them in battle against a group of stone giants, Dover realizes that Drizzt is a friend and ends the search for him. McGristle, though, is driven by hatred and presses on, trailing Drizzt all across the Forgotten Realms. Will Drizzt ever find acceptance in a world that is conditioned to believe that all Drow are evil?

Devil's Due sparkles with the final part of Salvatore's trilogy. One of the main themes of his story was that pall of isolationism. Drizzt is not only an outcast among his own kind, but he's an outcast among all kind. He's constantly harassed and driven away by those who fear him for no good reason often times other than the (much deserved) evil reputation of the Drow. Andrew Dabb's script does a great job of keeping this a focal point of the tale.

The pencils of Tim Seeley, a great team of inkers, and colors by Blond are once again a strong point to the book. Outside of the confines of the Underdark the artists are given a little more freedom to open up their expanse and create a more vivid and rich setting for Drizzt. Fans will be happy to know that Drizzt's adventures will continue in The Crystal Shard and Devil's Due will be presenting more of Salvatore's work with their adaptation of his DemonWars series. Devil's Due pulled off another great win!

A Great Conclusion........2006-12-03

Sojourn is the last book in the Dark Elf Trilogy and a great conclusion. Drizzt, after all his adventures in the Underdark, has finally made it onto the surface. This book introduces us to some great new characters, one of whom will eventually become one of Drizzt's most powerful enemies, and tells us how he ended up in Icewind Dale. This book is a great note to go out on and leaves you wanting more.

Enjoyable tale that brings Drizzt out of the underdark .......2006-09-02

This is the last book in the Dark Elf Trilogy that tells the tale of how Drizzt fares in the surface world. I think its a great follow up to Exile, and really puts into perspective the challenges a dark elf faces in the eyes of surface dwellers that do not want to accept him. Once again, Salvatore creates memorable characters that heavily influence Drizzt's life. He learns and gains much wisdom in this book and I think its a necessary bridge to Icewind Dale.

Although I admit I missed the underdark, Sojourn is still a very enjoyable read. Salvatore presents the material in a very believable manner and we really get to see inside the struggling character Drizzt Do'Urden. By the end of this book, he finally comes into his own and moves onto bigger and better things in the Icewind Dale Trilogy. Welcome home :-)

Book Description

From dorm rooms and first apartments to suburban homes and four-star restaurants, the George Foreman grill is one of America's most popular small kitchen appliances. Women love it because it cooks delicious, healthy family meals in minutes and is super easy to clean. Men, on the other hand, often run from cooking. But grilling? Hey, that's definitely a guy thing.

And everyone knows the master of the indoor grill is George Foreman. This two-time heavyweight champion of the world knows what tastes really good because George Foreman loves to eat. When George gives advice on how to grill the best burger on the planet, well, believe him. He knows.

As a world-class athlete and father of ten, George Foreman is focused on fresh, healthy foods that keep him and his family strong. Between kids, careers, and a heavyweight training schedule, the Foremans are a big, constantly-in-motion family. Getting dinner on the table could be an endurance event, but instead of going ten rounds in the kitchen, George Foreman has perfected fast and easy, and he passes on his strategy in George Foreman's Indoor Grilling Made Easy.

Here are more than 100 recipes that speak to the reason everyone buys the indoor grill in the first place: easy dishes filled with big, bold flavor for healthy food fast. From breakfast foods to snacks, entrées, side dishes, and even desserts made on the grill, this is food to satisfy the young, the not-so-young, and everyone in between. Most recipes are naturally lower in carbohydrates (after all, George is a carnivore of some note), but some have choice carbs to fuel heavy training days.

In addition to the recipes, there are plenty of flavor-enhancing ideas -- marinades, spice rubs, and sauces -- for simple cuts of fish, beef, pork, and chicken. You'll also find insider info on how to make perfect grilled veggies every time. George Foreman's Indoor Grilling Made Easy even includes finger foods for a party and a Thanksgiving dinner made on the grill. Portions feed a family of four but can easily be ownsized for those living on their own (or doubled for Foreman-sized families).

· Includes a nutritional analysis of every dish

Great Fun Recipes...But Not Really Healthy.......2005-10-14

The recepes are really nice and creative, but if you're trying to eat healthier--this is a book to skip. Just because a recipe is full of grilled veggies, the "health" benefits lessen when you dump enough olive oil, cheeses, etc on them to increase the fat content to a whopping 25-35 grams per serving--of which a lion's share of these recepes sport.

The rubs and marinades section in the back is good, but if you're watching your weight, and don't like to constantly modify your cooking--grill or otherwise--to keep the fat at bay, this is not the book you want.
