Book Description
When Washington, D.C., chiropractor Yardley Brown goes to his local bank, it isn't only to make deposits into his account. He has long since accrued some interest in Rayne Waters, a bank employee who's too beautiful to be true -- and too beautiful to be single. At least that's what Yardley believes, which is why he has never approached her.
Little does he know that Rayne is anything but taken. Not for want of trying, of course. But after barely surviving a dating disaster with her hairdresser's brother and then falling for a member of her church band, she's on the verge of giving up. That is, until Yardley -- discouraged by his own slew of dead-end romances -- finally works up the courage to give her a try.
The true craziness, however, is just beginning, thanks to a cast of characters who seem bent on botching the young couple's relationship. There's Rayne's erratic mother; Yardley's playboy buddies, always trolling for sex; and, worst of all, past lovers who make a habit of popping up and ruining things as only old flames (or previous mistakes) can. Weaving the carnal and the comical in true Zane fashion, Rayne and Yardley's struggle to find love in a world gone mad is a timeless talk about everything that can go wrong in the dating game -- and a few things that can go right.

Very good read!.......2007-10-01
This was a very entertaining read from start to finish. Especially with the shocking ending. It allowed me to think profoundly for a time afterward about the books message. So much so that I refered some friends to Zanes work and I ordered more of her books.
it was ok.......2007-09-30
i just finished reading this book, i did enjoy it b.c i'm such a fan anyway. but i wasnt feeling the ending. i was hoping it was a dream and i was going to turn the page and everything would be ok. but i just knew something was going to go wrong i could feel it. but then again things happen and nothing in life is guaranteed but death. we all know that they wouldve lived happily ever after. thats not real life. real life is when something good can be taken away from you in an instant. thats why i dont like to fight. my motto is life is to short and overall when you look back whatever it was probably was not that serious to begin with
Great book...whack ending.......2007-08-13
This book was AWESOME. It was juicy and had TONS of drama. Twists and turns kept me turning the pages. The only thing that could have been better was the ending. When I read It, my jaw hit the floor but the book was so good , that the end almost ruined it. The ending would have been great for another one of her books but this one was good as is. It was almost as if, she wrote the entire book, finished it then went back and added the rest. BUT it is worth the read. I read it in two days.
Must Have.......2007-08-09
This is the first book I ever read from Zane and I must say I am not disappointed at all. This is a book to have. It has drama, sex and love all wrap up in one. This book was glued to my hand for entire day. I laugh and I cried (seriously cried)I could not believe it after all the hell these two when throught, it was so sad how is ended. This book give hope to those who believe in love, soulmate and the one. If you dont believe in those, I still suggest you read it, it will change you. Absolutely love this book and will read it again.
What's Really Going On!.......2007-04-20
It's not a bad book but you don't really get what's going on until the end of the book. I think there's a lot of empty spaces in Rayne's life. The book jumps from the time she lost her virginity at 17/18 to her life as an adult around age 27/28. That's a ten year gap and we all know in ten years a lot can happen. Rayne don't trust relationships, not even with her best friend since 3rd grade, but the author never explores why she doesn't. The reader doesn't have a good understanding of Rayne's life with her mom its assumed. In a nutshell, it's one of those books that don't hold your interest so you put it down often and when you pick it back up you have no idea what's going on so you have to read back a page. Of course you finish the book just because...... Somewhere near the end I understood where the Author was trying to go with the book and appreciated the epilogue.

Well-written, interesting and thoughtful.......2007-07-08
Having not read any other StarDoc novels, I can't say how this novel stacks up in the series. However, having said that, I would say this is an excellent novel - well-written, interesting and thoughtful. Ms. Viehl blends the fantastic elements of space with the down-to-earth aspects of reality. She has created alien characters that are essentially human, and as a reader, you begin to feel for these people - no matter how strange their physical characteristics may be to your own experiences. Additionally, each character is written in the best possible way to draw emotion from the reader. The villians are particularly loathsome; the heroes wonderfully heroic, yet with a touch of humanity. Her powers of description make you feel like you could close your eyes and see the worlds she's describing.
Bravo, Ms. Viehl. Now, I need to go out and buy all the rest of her novels.
Good Filler But Not Remarkable.......2007-02-24
I really enjoyed the adventures of Cherijo and Duncan. This book and Afterburn take up on K2 after Cherijo saves the settlement from contagion. It was good to see some of the same characters but I had a hard time connecting with this new story. I found it hard to visualize exactly how a marine creature could be transformed into a bi-ped capable of the manual dexterity it would take to fly a spacecraft. I was able to put that aside and enjoy the story but I didn't feel a connection with the main characters.
More Romance than Sci-fi.......2007-01-13
Three and a half stars. Afterburn follows Bio Rescue in this series which features the aquatic `Zangians on K-2. (K-2 is the planet that the StarDoc series began upon) Both books in the series were initially released in hardcover. Some of the `Zangians have been modified to breathe air. As such, they patrol space around K-2 and attempt to assist ships that might run a fowl of the League or Hsktskt near the planet. During a mission, Burn, who is cousin to the main character in Bio Rescue, interrupts a raid on an ambassadors ship. The ship is on its way to K-2 for a peace conference. Saving the day, he encounters and instantly takes a liking to the ambassadors daughter, Liana. Some problems crop up in the relationship almost immediately since Liana is from a strict matriarchal society, and Burn is from a society that relies on both partners in relationships. Additionally, people seem to be disappearing and it looks like one of the peace conference attendee's might be killing them.
The Bio Rescue series a bit of a disappointment to me because the Romance elements out-balance the Science Fiction elements. However, unlike the first book, Afterburn is more adult than junior high. Afterburn is a better book than Bio Rescue, but one should probably read the first to bretter appreciate the second.
Book Description
The Burning Man Festival is a weeklong spasm of radical self-expression held annually just before Labor Day since 1986. In late August 2003, more than 33,000 participants converged in Nevada's Black Rock Desert for this counterculture event staged as an experiment in temporary community.
The participants gather to rid themselves of the conventional structures of their life and to "sample" the alternatives in hundreds of theme camps. The climax of the festival comes when attendees erupt into cheers and applause at the burning of a forty-foot-tall human effigy described as "part pre-technological idol and part post-technological puppet."
AfterBurn contributor Erik Davis writes of the festival, "Ironic and blasphemous, intoxicated and lewd, Burning Man's ADD theater of the absurd might even be said to embody the slap-happy nihilism of postmodern culture itself."
CounterCulture series editor David Farber summarizes the significance of the event: "[Burning Man is] spiritual discovery, utopian experiment, artistic spectacle, participatory democracy, do-it-yourself anarchism, and communitarian adventure." AfterBurn features ten essayists each addressing a specific aspect of the festival, from the recruitment and management of volunteers, to the artistic and cultural context of the modern conception of Utopia.
Both Lee Gilmore and Mark Van Proyen have attended Burning Man annually since 1996.

Scholars on the Playa.......2007-03-22
I'm pleased to see that academia is now starting to look to subcultural doings as they happen, instead of invoking the fond nostalgia that the Beatniks inspired. The ability to digest and deconstruct the events that take place in this otherworldly space is much to be commended, and I think that by doing so the authors of these various articles may be tapping in to something most of their colleagues shy away from. The articles themselves are intriguing and scholarly, but never lose sight of their subject. I would love to see more editions of this book as the event (and the world around it - the context) changes and grows!
Smell the playa dust..........2006-03-31
in these pages? Read this book and you will. Tho the author comments that this book was a composite of many different burning an festivals, te undercurrent feels strangely like one which puts you there in the middle of things.
There are a few details which, if you've been there, are a little flaky, and the book gets off to kind of a slow start (ergo the 4 stars) but as you bury yourself in this read (and it's one read that, if you're at all a burner, you will end up burying yourself in) you will be amazed... engrossed... wind blown... with a lot of little surprises thrown in that you don't expect, even all the way at the end.
There is another thing, tho... if you've never been to Black Rock City, and wonder what all the hubbub is about, ad you want to know if that ticket's worth it... and what it's getting you into... this book will give you a fairly good idea. Of course, your experience is your own... but, like I said in the beginning... read this, and you can almost smell the playa dust in these pages...
A pleasure!.......2006-01-13
Critical writing up to any academic standards fused with a joy in language and topic. Wonderful! It will make your mind spin with ideas, and what could be better than that!
Reflections on the Reflections of Burning Man.......2005-10-27
Prior to reading this excellent sophisticated introduction to Burning Man, I had dismissed this event as shamanism and tantra for amateurs. However, these well written, knowledgeable, and at times quite learned articles, have convinced me that Burning Man allows for the creation of authentic rituals that are rife with both transformative and aesthetic epiphanies. Moreover, it appears that Burning Man has largely not yet been" recouped" (to the use Guy Debord's term) by bourgeois capitualist society, and thereby succeeds where its predecessors, the Surrealists and Situationists, left off. Next year, instead of visiting the Himalayas or Mongolia for my taste of the (w)holy other, I will just go to Burning Man.

Continued Quality.......2006-12-11
Afterburn by S.L. Viehl continues with the same quality of her Star Doc series of books. It is set in the same universe with the same aliens and revolves around a colony on a planet where intelligent life developed in the water. Most of the 'Zangians remain in the water, but some have undergone modification to allow themselves to be in the air for a short time.
This is a busy book with several plot threads intertwining, but the main plot centers around an interplanetary conference being held to discuss the possibilities for three other alien species, the Ninrana, Skartesh and the Ylidii.
Viehl deftly weaves the differing customs and needs of the various aliens as they all jostle for position and strive to get along, in some cases, or try to disrupt things in other cases. Sometimes it is a bit tough to keep track of all the different characters-- a list at the beginning of the book would have been helpful, however, once everything was sorted out in my own mind, I very much enjoyed the book. The ending was quite satisfactory, with a hint of more to come.
A fine piece of writing with good world building.......2006-07-14
Part of a series, this novel is about the planet Kevarzangia Two, and its water-breathing inhabitants.
The Hsktskt slavers have been pushed out of the quadrant, so the four sentient races, who call themselves the Allied League of Worlds, meet on K-2 for a peace conference. The participants, two air-breathing races and two water-breathing races, don't particularly like each other. When an ambassador's shuttle is attacked prior to the conference, Sublieutenant Burn mu Znora stops the attack and rescues the ambassador's daughter, Liana (some younger 'Zangians, like Burn, have been surgically altered to be able to survive in the air for hours at a time). Having drawn the pleasurable duty of guarding Liana during the conference, Burn realizes that she knows a lot more than she is letting on, and that someone wants this conference to fail.
Meantime, the 'Zangians have a natural enemy called a mogshrike. Think of a creature bigger than a great white shark, with a lot more teeth and a much more nasty disposition. The mogshrikes have been moving into warmer and shallower water, where the 'Zangians live. They are defenseless against the mogshrikes, so the radical idea is considered of catching one to study. Dair, an elderly 'Zangian, is totally against the idea, but Teresa, his Terran mate, agrees to participate. The battle of wills gets to the point where Dair tells Teresa that they are no longer mated. A baby mogshrike is captured, and it is discovered that they have been doing some pretty radical evolving.
This is a fine piece of writing. It's got good world building, the characters are very well done, and it's a first-rate story. As with any series, reading previous books will help, but this does a really good job of standing on its own.
Better than Biorescue.......2006-06-28
I find this second book in this series to be better written and more adult that the first book. What a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed the story greatly.
Another winner.......2006-03-15
Ok, I've got to say this right from the start: I loved this book, I love this series, and I think Ms. Viehl is a fantastic writer. Ever since I picked up the first book I read from this author, Blade Dancer (Excellent!!), I've been hooked. I am always so disappointed when I finish each novel as it means there's no more to read and I have to wait for the next installment. Ms. Viehl has such a rich imagination and a fertile writing style. If you're a fan of the sci-fi, space stories, this is a wonderful series to add to your collection. Give it a try and I think you'd be hard pressed to be disappointed. Please keep them coming Ms. Viehl!
Afterburn Ties alot of Things Together.......2006-03-03
I really liked that this book tied some ends together from the StarDoc series. It also finishes out "Biorescue" by continuing that story line. I had alot of trouble putting it down.

This tour de force by the author of Manhattan Nocturne is a genre-bending literary thriller that deserves all the pre-publishing buzz it's received. From the prologue, set in the closing days of the Vietnam War, to the denouement 25 years later in the meatpacking district of Manhattan, it crackles with electricity and keeps the reader pinned in place; this is a book that's truly impossible to put down.
Harrison's three protagonists are so well drawn that their individual obsessions rather than his complex plot seem to drive the narrative. Former fighter pilot Charlie Ravich is a wealthy telecommunications CEO desperate to perpetuate his name by any means, including a surrogate mother; his only son is dead and his daughter is infertile. Christina Welles is an Ivy League-educated mathematics whiz who went to prison for her role in a Mafia theft ring. And Rick Bocca, Christina's former lover, is hiding from the mob boss who has arranged Christina's early release to regain the millions he believes she stole from him. Harrison's observations are acute: he can describe the most horrific torture as deftly as he can write a tender love scene. But his ability to weave the separate stories of his main characters together without sacrificing a bit of momentum is truly dazzling; all three of them live in the mind long after the novel's harrowing climax. This is the real "afterburn" of the title, although it may get a second definition if the book makes as rapid an ascent to the top of the bestseller lists as it deserves. --Jane Adams

Download Description
Charlie Ravich is a survivor whose brutal experience as a POW in Vietnam has more than prepared him for the cutthroat world of global commerce. Now a wealthy Upper East Side executive in his late fifties, Charlie has only one problem: his family is dying out. His wife teeters on the edge of Alzheimer's; their son has succumbed to leukemia; and their daughter, Julia, is unable to bear a child. Charlie is being trumped by time. Enter Christina, a beguiling Columbia University dropout -- intelligent, selectively dishonest, tilted with desire. Her affair with Rick Bocca, a member of a big-time truck-theft ring run by mobster Tony V., has landed her in prison. After four years in Bedford Hills, she is suddenly released by the Manhattan D.A's office -- perhaps because she is innocent, perhaps not. Warned by a detective that Christina is being set up by Tony V., Rick begins a desperate, bungled search to warn Christina, who has lied her way into the high-flying world of Charlie Ravich. But her past catches up with her, and Rick's catches up with him, setting off a harrowing chain of betrayals that leaves only one person with any hope of a future.

The number is in the phone.......2005-08-29
Sorry, Mr. Harrison. Although I do think you write well, I think this book was awful. I will never cease to be amazed at the garbage that passes for plot in the publishing industry these days. You read this book (actually we listened to it on CD for a long drive) waiting for something to happen, for the good guys to outsmart the bad guys, for justice to triumph. But . . . obviously I don't want to give away the ending, but this story is full of extraneous information, gratiuitous male sexual fantasies (i.e. five tracks - that's 15 minutes - of a letter describing sexual proclivities by someone who is not even in the story!) and of course, two episodes of the big "A" sex - what every married man in America doesn't get from his wife, supposedly. Also way too much detailed, unrealistic, sadistic torture (generally when the torturee does what you want him to, you don't interfere with it by torturing him further), and, I could go on . . .
The characters often behaved out of character, the depiction of the wife who was supposed to be spiraling into Alzheimer's was completely inconsistent with the actual disorder, while there is such a thing as a spinal nerve, there are many of them, and the author clearly meant the spinal column (but I guess his editor didn't pick that up), and, far worst of all: Cell phones do NOT have dial tones, and THE NUMBER STAYS IN THE PHONE!!! To plot an entire book based upon invented technology (that every 12-year-old is familiar with) is absurd.
The S&S people are crazy. This book needed a ton of editing and a whole new ending. I'm really sorry to have to post this negative review, because I understand that work that Mr. Harrison put into writing the book, but I think his editor let him down.
Great book until the end.......2005-07-13
I loved this book until I got to the end. The ending is so dissapointing that I almost regretted taking the time to read the first 450+ pages. Talk about screwing up what could have been a real winner.
love it or hate it -- the writing is superb.......2005-05-04
Just a quick skim through the reader reviews will tell you that this book polarizes readers -- it's kind of like a Red State, Blue State kind of division.
I first read "Havana Room" and really liked it and then wondered how I had missed Colin Harrison before as I am an avid reader. I then, in the words of Stephen King about Elmore Leonard, went on(line) to buy all the rest of his books. I think "Afterburn" is the best. Amazing. I don't think that I have read a noir in this class except for perhaps Peter Abraham's LIGHTS OUT. The scenes of Olympic class sex and clinical descriptions of horrific torture leave nothing to the imagination. They'll infect your dreams.
Mr. Harrison does have a tendency to digress, but I find this adds texture and depth to the story. Internal dialog is what makes a novel special. If you think otherwise, read a screenplay. Or watch a movie.
Nice Surprise.......2005-04-06
I found this book in a bargain book shop in Auckland, New Zealand and couldn't have enjoyed it any more. The end of the novel does a great job of both pulling together the characters and the plot but also plugging the holes in the story that I initially found unrealistic. The author does an impressive job of building together characters that are indeed multi-dimensional and believable. Few people are truly "good" or universally "bad" and Colin Harrison's main characters are both likable and realistic. The ending was neither dissapointing nor predictable.
New York Noir at its Finest.......2005-01-08
Charlie Ravich is a very successful telecommunicaitons mogul in his late fifties, however he is racked with injuries he got during his time as a POW during the Vietnam war. On a trip to Hong Kong, where he is trying to get a factory built, he witnesses a murder and it winds up making him wealthy, very wealthy. But money won't buy you everything. Or will it. Charlie's son died from leukemia years ago, his wife is slipping away with Alzheimer's and Charlie is obsessed with his pending oblivion. He desperately wants someone to carry on his name. So he advertises for a woman to have his child.
Christina Wells is a pretty young thing just out of the joint, where she spent four years. She's gone to Columbia University, so you know she's smart, but she dropped out to lead the life of a small time grifter. She'd been raped when she was a little girl and it haunts her. Well, maybe she's not so smart, because she spent the fours years behind bars, because she took the rap for her iron-pumping, former boyfriend, Rick Bocca, who somehow found out when she was getting out on a surprise release. It seems that somehow five million went missing from that job she went up for and he wants it back.
This is a well written and well paced story with an ending which doesn't leave you wanting or feeling short-changed. The characters are a little over the top, but Mr. Harrison is such a honeydripper of a writer, who throws people and situations together so well, that we don't care, in fact instead, we revel in his character's excesses. This novel is film noir on the written page and is really, very, very good.
