good book.......2006-06-09
like the previous review, it is a really good book, excellent cover art, great story line, and an incredible ending.
Excellent story-line; Gath of Baal at his finest.......1999-06-25
Gath finds his childhood memories deep inside a jungle; he finds himself; and the characters all fall into place perfectly; James Silke, along with the Death Dealer (Gath character) are great!!!!!!!
Book Description
Ntignano was a populated world with a perfect sun -- until the right technology fell into the wrong hands. Now the sun is failing quickly, and the Starship Enterprise™ has just one chance to evacuate the þeeing refugees. Captain Jean-Luc Picard must succeed in delicate negotiations with the only people who can help them: a prickly neighboring species known as the Tsorans.
To assist in that effort, Commander Will Riker was assigned a very different diplomatic task. As a polite formality and show of good faith, he accompanied a young Tsoran prince to an exclusive hunting preserve. There, technology-damping Þelds and some of the galaxy's deadliest predators were supposed to test the untried noble's ability in the kaphoora -- the hunt. But the shuttlecraft didn't land on Fandre; it crashed.
Now, cut off from Tsora and the Enterprise, the survivors of the disaster face the ultimate struggle for survival. Without the aid of tricorders or phasers, Riker, his royal charge, and their would-be rescuers must Þght for their lives with the only weapons they can muster -- spears and bat'leth, tooth and claw.
Download Description

But disaster strikes when the shuttle-craft, carrying its royal charge and honor guards Riker and Worf, is suddenly marooned on this dangerous world...and so begins the primordial battle for their very lives!

Clawing for Plot, Scratching for Substance, Gnawing on Bone.......2005-05-20
Major Star Trek book readers may enjoy this book. What could be more adventurous than Riker stuck in an alien jungle with dinosaur-like creatures, no phaser, and a gaggle of asinine aliens? To be honest, I thought the idea sounded fantastic.
Did Doranna Durgin pull it off? As an avid reader, and a fan of Star Trek books, I can't outright say she did a stellar job. I understand that writing books in a series previously created by alternate writers can be difficult. Believe it or not, Durgin doesn't really have trouble with this. The characters seemed believable.
What I didn't like was how the story was told, how it was handled, and the two alien races that are both on the insipid and uninteresting side.
The story is so convoluted, I couldn't comprehend what was going on at any given point. Also, Durgin constantly interrupts a good flowing sentence with speech-like ramifications, or corrections. For example, she will write a sentence, then follow it with, "Well, actually it was..." or "Well, almost, but..."; this is repeated countless hundreds of times (it's presumably Durgin's writing style, which I find too distracting for my tastes). (Not to sound like an English professor, but she overuses incomplete sentences as well.)
Durgin's characters will suddenly materialize in a building on a planet (?) then back on the Enterprise, or with different characters suddenly walking in when I thought they were miles away.
The two alien species are so undeveloped and poorly written that I had a difficult time remembering who was supposed to be short, who's son was whom, and at this very moment (having recently completed the book) I have no idea what technology was used to cause the sun to go nova, or who owns the technology or, more importantly, why anyone would do that to a sun, or why the technology wasn't used for a more intriguing purpose other than to possibly kill off an unintelligent race.
Why would any alien creature create a habitat that operates like a public zoo, one that is open only several times a day, with days-long interims between openings? And why did Durgin, being a wildlife illustrator, create creatures that were pathetically unoriginal? Picture a snake with hands. Or an elephant sized furry something with two tails. Every creature that had tails ended up always having two tails. The creatures were not well thought out. And the supposedly shy scavengers ended up hunting more than scavenging.
I think a fitting quote takes place between Worf and Riker: "Worf looked at him, seemed to consider and assess. 'Things have not gone well.' [Riker replies] 'You don't know the half of it" (163). This conversation occurs 63 pages after the first of the adventures.
Finally, something I've noticed in the dozen Star Trek books I've read so far: every TNG book is brimming with typos. Where are these editors? I do not hold this against Durgin, et al., nor do I count it toward my final rating. But I've become fed up with it.
I am writing a less-than-positive review as a common reader. In the world of Star Trek, this book is one of the few poorly written books I've run across, and the story had enough potential to keep me reading to the end. The book really gets good with 100 pages to go, and the last chapter is the best written until the last page (before it becomes convoluted and even Data's motif throughout the book is poorly explained).
Keep an eye out for etymology scattered throughout. The Latin word "ingenium" pops up, among others.
STNG #60 Tooth and Claw - A very good numbered novel!.......2004-05-23
This is author Doranna Durgin's, an author who has established herself outside of Star Trek, one and only foray into the Star Trek universe so far and I would definitely have to say that it would be nice if she revisited Star Trek fiction again. Based on the premise stated on the back of the novel, my first impression of this novel, and prior to reading it was that it would be another bland numbered novel that would find difficulty in holding my interest.
Upon reading it though, that first impression couldn't have been further off. While I wouldn't class this novel as being among the tops in the numbered novel arena I would say that it was a very good novel with a very good story. The only reason I haven't given this novel five stars is that I truly would like to have given it four and a half stars as it is very good story that is just a cut above the rest of the numbered novels but not quite in the realm of exceptional numbered novels.
I found Doranna Durgin's writing to be very good. This story has very good pacing that doesn't drift off in unnecessary directions, the plot set up and execution is carried out very well and the characterizations are dead on perfect to include some humorous moments which are difficult to do in print but she does it well here.
The cover art for this novel is a cut above the older ones as at about this time it seems that the powers that be at Pocket Books decided to start giving a little more attention to this somewhat important aspect to the Star Trek line of novels.
The Premise:
Although it's not specifically stated, this story is placed on the Enterprise NCC-1701-D prior to the events of "Star Trek Generations." Captain Picard and crew finds themselves in another one of those precarious dilemma's as they find that in order to help the people of the planet Ntignano whose sun is going nova thanks to the intervention of extremists they must first deal with the Tsorans who control an extremely tricky space corridor that is vital to the evacuation of the Ntignano's planet.
The story breaks down into three subplots as Captain Picard must deal with the ruler of Tsoran in negotiations for important maps of the space corridor while Commander Riker finds that he must escort the Tsoran leaders son on a ritual hunt within the bounds of an extremely dangerous wildlife preserve that is surrounded by heavy shielding and at the same time Geordi is in the position of attempting to establish communications outside of that shielding...
All of which combines to make an extremely intriguing tale that is at times extraordinarily exhilarating especially along the lines of Commander Riker's sub plot.
I highly recommend this novel to any and all fans of Star Trek fiction as it is a very good novel that fits well into the genre! {ssintrepid}
Entertaining and Good.......2004-01-16
This is well written and very entertaining. The descriptions are very clear and vivid. There is a lot of action. The dialogue is great and the personal interaction is wonderful, especially the private commentaries and evaluations the characters make of each other. Those characters are very well depicted. Also, the alien cultures are unusually well depicted. There is a definite feeling that the Fandrean culture has great depth and we and the characters are only seeing a little of it. The Tsorans on the other hand seem shallow, not for lack of author talent, but because they are so obsessed with prestige and appearance that their culture has lost some of its original depth and content. All in all, this is a great and very entertaining book.
Very Good /Solid Trek.......2003-12-03
This is the kind of book that fans will enjoy. The characters are perfect! The situation is exciting. It is everything a Trek adventure should be. Ms. Durgin has captured the Trek formula with stellar results. This book would make and excellent TV episode. It is lots of fun, and I truly hope Ms. Durgin will write more Next Generation novels.
So-So.......2003-03-19
I have just gotten finished with Tooth and Claw. I (being a Trekkie from way back) almost always find Star Trek books entertaining and a quick read. However, in this case I must say I was somewhat disappointed. The storyline is based on an interesting premise. However, I found character development lacking, and the story too slow to develop. I give the book 3 stars because I enjoyed Data's language experiment and as I say the storyline is good> I just found the execution lacking...
Book Description
Since Descent of Man appeared in 1979, T. C. Boyle has transformed the nature of short fiction in our time; in a review of his most recent collection, After the Plague, The New York Times hailed him as “a writer who can take you anywhere.” Which is exactly what Boyle does in Tooth and Claw.
These fourteen stories, which have appeared in The New Yorker, GQ, Harper's, McSweeney's, and Playboy, display Boyle's imaginative muscle, emotional sensitivity, and astonishing range. Here you will find the whimsical tales for which Boyle is famous, including “The Kind Assassin,” about a radio shock jock who sets the world record for most continuous hours without sleep. Readers will love the comedic drama of the title story, about a man who must contend with a vicious cat from Africa that he has won in a bet. And who could resist the gripping power of “Dogology,” about a woman who becomes so obsessed with man's best friend that she begins to lose her own identity to a pack of strays. Boyle here proves once again that he is “a writer who can take any topic and spin a yarn too good to put down” (Men's Journal).
Customer Reviews:
(3.5 stars) Boyled Over.......2007-06-30
T.C. Boyle is so prolific it's insane.
This is both a blessing and a bane.
Boyle works on his craft constantly, so he can put out a quality story in no time; but this is a problem, because I don't feel like he takes the time to fully form his characters. Often different characters in different stories seem like the same person: they all speak in SAT words, they always seem to go to movies alone, they often speak with irreverent interjections while thinking to themselves. These drawbacks, especially in the stories with weak plot, produce a variable overall output, which is indeed also seen in this particular collection. TOOTH AND CLAW has some gems, but also some losers. Four of the fourteen stories I couldn't even make it through.
Another four I rated 7/10 or above -- they all had engaging plots, well-formed characters, and ringing metaphor. The best story of the collection was "Chcxulub," a tale of a teenage girl's night out and her parents' worry over her safety, with the parallel telling of the history of tragic meteor impacts on the earth. Another masterpiece is the title story, "Tooth and Claw." A young man's quest for a girlfriend is symbolized by his win of an exotic wild cat in a bar bet. When he loses one he loses the other. This is classic Boyle. (Yet, this young man, despite his participation in such a symbolic and well-told tale, goes to the movies alone. Couldn't he just do something different? Doesn't Boyle remember he used that personality trait in a different story? I guess not.)
Overall, a nice addition to one's library.
Boyle fan.......2007-06-04
I am always a fan of TC Boyle. Sometimes I wish there were more happy endings for his characters but I keep reading him so it must not be an issue.
Hit and Miss.......2007-02-02
I greatly enjoyed some of the stories and only a few (very few) were disinteresting to me. I suppose that is the problem with all short story collections, there's an uneven mix of quality and topics of interest to the reader. For that reason alone I gave it only 4 stars.
Boyle can suprise you.......2006-08-15
Boyle has a fondness for male characters, often young, who drink a lot and make bad mistakes in judgment through a callousness which reflects lack of maturity more than a lack of virtue. But Boyle can surprise you, with stories which don't fit the mold at all.
I particularly liked the account of a journey from Boston to New York in 1702 by a middle aged widow who is not particularly brave or resourceful.
Boyle also is quite capable of prose like "it was a dark and stormy night", and metaphors that don't really help, but he does this kind of thing almost tongue in cheek, or maybe I am imagining that. He also sent me to the dictionary a number of times, with words that turned out to be entirely appropriate.
dark humour plus deep turmoil.......2006-07-19
The sheer contrast of these stories made the collection creative and artistic. Most stories entailed animal behaviour vs. reasoning; pain/joy, love/hate, and reality/escapism. I was impressed by the mixture of dark humour, intricate details, and emotional turmoil that lies in these pages: the title fits perfectly, and one cannot help but consider that some of the stories are semi-autobiographical. Ideas for the stories are bizarre, brilliant, refreshing and sometimes finish with unexpected twists of fate. Despite each character's repeated dance with diverse forms of substance abuse, one feels empathy for him as he struggles for his identity even if he's as desperate and pathetic as they get. It was a film-noir of story-telling, and a most enjoyable read.

Victorian mores brought into physical reality.. for dragons!.......2006-12-26
As with the best Victorian novels, this story grows on you gradually. I was surprised to find myself drawn so throughly and vividly into this hybrid universe. Walton's writing is light and taut, understated but gripping.
a Victorian comedy with Dragons.......2006-11-09
Jo Walton's Tooth and Claw is a wild romp, mixing and melding genres and categories by rules and for purposes that only gradually become apparent. Tooth and Claw is a fantasy novel in which all the main characters are Dragons, written as if it were written by Jane Austen, Anthony Trollope, or Charles Dickens. It's an amusing conceit that seems as if it would play well in a short story but lose momentum in the greater scale of a novel. But as the reader is drawn through the book, as the back story begins to become clearer, as marriage proposals and lawsuits come and go, the scope of Walton's audacity becomes evident. As does the nature of her work: Tooth and Claw is a comedy. And a very funny one.
Immensely enjoyable, very witty, retelling of Trollope in draconic terms.......2006-08-18
Tooth and Claw is something quite different to Jo Walton's first three novels -- it is a fantasy set in a world in which dragons are real. Its plot is based on Anthony Trollope -- specifically Framley Parsonage. With the details of dragon physiology and culture cleverly molded to fit the Trollopian view of Victorian England.
One lack in Walton's first novels is wit, and any sense of lightness. To be sure the novels are all to an extent tragic in outlook. At the same time, though, Walton seems so immersed in her imagined world that she doesn't want to play with it at all -- the books are quite earnest in tone, often a bit too earnest, or even ponderous. But Tooth and Claw, happily, is abundantly witty.
The novel opens as the old dragon Bon Agornin is dying. His son Penn, a clergydragon, hears his confession -- which is controversial according to Penn's religion. (It harks of the Old Religion -- setting up a conflict analogous to Victorian Era attitudes of Anglicanism towards Catholicism (and possibly a bit towards Methodism and other dissenting sects).) Bon's confession includes a shameful secret about his rise from a poor dragon to wealth and relative social standing. Then Bon dies, and his body is divided according to tradition, with his heirs each eating a portion. It seems that dragon meat is magically useful to dragons, allowing them to grow and thrive. However, against Bon's apparent wishes, his son-in-law, the Illustrious Daverak (equivalent to perhaps an Earl?), takes a large portion for himself and for his dragonets. This enrages Penn and his younger sisters and brother, and sets in play the main motivating force of the plot -- a lawsuit that Penn's brother will bring against Daverak.
Bon Agornin's children are the already mentioned Penn, Daverak's wife Berend, another son, Avan, who is establishing himself a position in the Civil Service, and two maiden daughters, Selendra and Haner. Penn has a living with a very high ranking dragon family, the Benandis. He is able to take in one sister, Selendra; but Haner must go live with the unpleasant Daverak. Daverak's bad nature consists of such things as abusing his traditional right to cull weaker dragons (for their meat), forcing his wife to get pregnant too often -- which can fatally weaken a female dragon, and mistreating his servants. This then is Haner's problem. Selendra's conflict is that her virtue is compromised by an oily clergydragon -- leaving it possible that she will not be able to get pregnant. Then it seems that the young Exalted Benandi (a Marquis?) is falling for her -- very much against the wishes of his stuck-up dowager mother. And Avan, back in the capitol city, has a live-in lover who has a couple of important and dangerous secrets of her own.
It all works out with the precise unwinding of the plot of a Victorian novel -- and in quite satisfying fashion. The real delights of the novel are the affectionately portrayed characters, the great fun Walton has mapping dragon physiology to her plot needs, and the wit. And small things like the offhand revelation of the origin of the name Yarge, which applies to the soft-skinned bipeds with whom the dragons have historically warred. I enjoyed Tooth and Claw as much as any novel I've read recently. It won the World Fantasy Award -- an award I am happy to endorse.
Spectacularly Original.......2005-12-30
This is one of the few books I have ever read in my life where, immediately upon finishing it, I turned right back to the beginning and read it all over again. There are some truly memorable characters in this book. Their dragon nature is very much part of the story -- it's not just a stunt, telling a story that could easily have been done with human characters. Applause to the author for a truly original work, a joy to read (and reread).
I would like to add: If an animated film is ever made of this story, it would be wrong not to beg Stephen Fry to provide the voice of Daverak.
Rugby Anyone?.......2005-08-10
Jo Walton's clever tale (tail?) of manners among landed dragons is like a rugby match. All violence and blood on the field and polite clapping on the sidelines. It reads quick and fun with characters you'll love to hate and a love story to live by.

Great, awesome read. Only from the master of Horror!.......2004-04-17
I was weary of the idea of a storyline that someone can see ghosts, and no one else can as it is too common and gets old fast. Not when Masterton does it. He takes it up six or more levels to something worth reading and entertaining. This is the first of his ROOK series that I have read and i thought it was magnificant. Other than having to bear with the misspellings of some words, it was worthwhile. You cannot put down this book without feeling terrible. I guarantee that you will NOT be disappointed with this book. You should try his other books. I have read all his horror books but one: ROOK. I am trying to find it to buy but no one but Amazon has it ($35.00) a little steep for me right now. Anyhow, I recommend all his books.
Entertaining, although not what it could have been........2003-01-29
The 2nd book in the Jim Rook series is certainly an improvement on the first, but still fails to live up to Masterton's earlier work. The writing style is crisp, if overly simple and some ideas are great, but the characters aren't fleshed out as much as one would hope. The final scene which features a body part being used as a football was very quirky and is worth the price of admission. The Native American mythology added some more intrigue to the tale. If you read the first and liked it, this is a fun continuation of the story. The ending will leave you wanting to read the 3rd in the series, which I certainly plan to do! I just hope they keep getting better.
Book Description
Conradin is ten years old. He lives alone with his aunt. He has two big secrets. The first is that he hates his aunt. The second is that he keeps a small, wild animal in the garden shed. The animal has sharp, white teeth, and it loves fresh blood. Every night, Conradin prays to this animal and asks it to do one thing for him, just one thing. This collection of short stories is clever, funny, and shows us 'Nature, red in tooth and claw'. In other words, it is Saki at his very best.

Book Description
Originally published in 1979, The Darwinian Revolution was the first comprehensive and readable synthesis of the history of evolutionary thought. Though the years since have seen an enormous flowering of research on Darwin and other nineteenth-century scientists concerned with evolution, as well as the larger social and cultural responses to their work, The Darwinian Revolution remains remarkably current and stimulating.
For this edition Michael Ruse has written a new afterword that takes into account the research published since his book's first appearance.
"It is difficult to believe that yet another book on Darwin and the Darwinian Revolution could add anything new or contain any surprises. Ruse's book is an exception on all counts. Darwin scholars and the general reader alike can learn from it."—David L. Hull, Nature
"No other account of the Darwinian Revolution provides so detailed and sympathetic an account of the framework within which the scientific debates took place."—Peter J. Bowler, Canadian Journal of History
"A useful and highly readable synthesis. . .skillfully organized and written with verve, imagination, and welcome touches of humor."—John C. Greene, Science
Customer Reviews:
Excellent Intellectual History.......2001-01-22
This is an excellent book by a distinguished scholar who is also a fine writer. The Darwinian Revolution is the story of a scientific community producing and assimilating one of the most momentous sets of ideas in human history. Ruse deals thoughtfully and carefully with the scientific, philosophic, religous, and social background of British biology in the early 19th century, how this community became focused on the issue of evolution, how Darwin integrated himself into this community, and how this community dealt with the consequences of Darwin's work. Ruse does a fine job of describing the work of Darwin and his precursors, provides a nice and concise social history of this community, deals sensitively with the religous dimensions of these issues, and does a really commendable job of examining the state of philosophy of science in the early Victorian period. Written about 20 years ago, the conclusions of this book are still largely valid and Ruse provides a nice afterword to this edition to update his thinking on these questions. Ruse is a clear writer with an almost conversational style. This is really the book for readers interested in beginning an exploration of this interesting topic. This is also an excellent companion volume to Janet Browne's superb biography of Darwin, still incomplete, because it covers much of the same ground but with an emphasis on this community of British scientists rather than Browne's focus on Darwin himself. A particularly interesting feature of the book is Ruse's explanation of the reception of Darwin's ideas by his colleagues. Ruse points out that the academic biologists were largely able to go only part way with Darwin; they accepted evolution as a doctrine but were more resistant to the importance of natural selection. There were both internal scientific and external philosophical/social reasons for this relative resistance to Darwin's scheme. The full triumph of Darwinism has occurred in this century with the development of population genetics and more recently, large scale ecological experiments and studies.
Fascinating overview of Darwin in his own time.......2000-08-28
Michael Ruse does a masterful job of showing the context of Darwin's work. Ruse, who is a professor of philosophy covers in great detail the culture of Darwin's time with a great deal of information on the biological theories of Darwin's day along with many of the major players and their various attitudes and especially their philosophies of science and in particular biology (and geology). This book is a must for anyone who wants a good historical view of Darwin. It is well written and clear but it is not a light read and it is not for the casual student.

I thought the story was well written........1998-05-13
I thought the book looked interesting, and it was. Many of the parts in the book show the hardships of many Chinese that did not agree with the communist views. Han, although a spy, was also a teacher by occupation. My theory is that the political unrest that took place in China was a holocaust, very much like the holocaust during WWII, where the slaying of millions of Jews took place. Many of you don't agree with me, but that is my personal opinion. I don't think that what Han did was wrong, at any point in time, especially when it said he was standing up for his own political views. I recommend this book to anyone studying CHina's cultural revolution and political history.
