Finished VULCAN'S GLORY

Lts. Spock and Montgomery Scott's first mission on the Enterprise with Captain Pike and Number One.  Spock falls in love amid murder and mayhem.  Loved it every step of the way.



Am now about to start Shadow of Night, by Deborah Harkness.  This is the second book of the ALL SOUL'S TRILOGY, the first of which was A Discovery of Witches.

Finished PEOPLE OF THE MIST

True to W. Michael and Kathleen O'Neal Gear's earlier books, this also is set in prehistoric America, this in what we now call the Chesapeake Bay area.  The people we learn about here will eventually produce Powhattan and Pocahontas, but now it is 1300 AD, and we have a murder mystery to be solved by a most unlikely old man.  I have enjoyed it as much as any I've read, especially because I also enjoy murder mysteries...  Hurrah!



I am now about to start Vulcan's Glory, a Star Trek novel by D. C. Fontana.

Finished Mary Jane Clarks, NOWHERE TO RUN

Again a fast-paced thriller/mystery with clues and red herrings.  Now add Anthrax and hostage taking and a little psychosis thrown in, and it was a quick read, at least partially because I couldn't stop reading.  In other words, I loved it.




I have now started People of the Mist by W. Michael and Kathleen O'Neal Gear.  Set in the Chesapeake Bay area in about 1300 A. D., we have a murder mystery (well, the reader has a good idea of who did it, but the people have no idea) that could well start a war which would spell the end of three matriarchal villages.  I am well into it (nearly 200 pages in) and am enjoying it.

Finished A PERFECT BLOOD

I have now finished A Perfect Blood, by Kim Harrison.  The books stay exciting and inventive, and Rachel Morgan remains charming and likable as do the other major characters.  Even enemies hated in the first books, have gradually become more likable and some friends, loved in the first books, have either left, died, or become hated and left.  So, the stories stay fresh, and the overall topic of race hatred (addressed in most urban fantasies I have read) stays relevant.




I am now about to start Nowhere to Run by Mary Jane Clark, a mystery who writes very much in the same style as Mary Higgins Clark...again, impossible to put down books.
