Finished CHAOS AND ORDER

Stephen R. Donaldson's Gap series is a five book set which just gets more exciting and more tense with each passing book.  This is the fourth book of the series and the tension mounted until I've been on the edge of my seat for the last week and a half.  Whew!  The master of character, environment, and language, is also very much a master of science and therefore science fiction and tension.

I need a break.  I think I'll read a nice quiet relaxing book by Dan Brown...Inferno.  Oh, my faithful followers are not at all sure it will be relaxing???  Hmmmm.  This will be my sixth Dan Brown book.

Finished People of the Silence

One possible explanation for the abandonment of what we now call Chaco Canyon is presented in a very exciting a beautiful manner.  I completely enjoyed the book.

I have now started The Gap Into Madness: Chaos and Order by Stephen R. Donaldson.  Starting exactly where The Gap Into Power: A Dark and Hungry God Arises left off, I find myself already into it.  Not because anything earthshattering has happened already or because it started with a huge bang into action, but rather because the characters are so wonderfully quirky and interesting...this is Donaldson's strength.  His vocabulary also is seeming to become more challenging in this book, but, of course, it doesn't compare to the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant for that.
