I am a lover of all Sci-Fi. The best depiction of space travel I have ever seen or read. Finding out that another race helped us along our evolution and than they left huge rocks/monoliths for us to find later once we had evolved to space travel.

I loved the movie but the books are so much better, they leave everything to you and your imagination. Something no movie can ever do.

This is a fantastic series. I cannot believe they all take place in a three month span of life. If have not read the other three, wish list them fast....

Very well written. The characters make you feel for them deeply, and are so interesting. Ukiah Is an alien brought up by wolves and found feral as a child. He is fighting with a group of aliens from his home planet against a group from his home planet that are really bad, who want to take over the world.

I Read all four back to back. This one is by far the best

This book is wonderful. Edge of your chair reading. A Very moving and compelling story that you cannot finish it until you have read the whole thing in one sitting.

Sharon Nagol Says yes to a surprise lunch invitation with her best friend, leaving husband Jim home to babysit their infant daughter. While Sharon's away, a firebreaks out, severely burning both Jim and the baby. When Sharon find out that it was Jim's negligence that caused the fire, she separates from him, and rents her own apartment. She finds a job as an accountant at Prescott Incorporated. There the mystery begins. Dark secrets, embezzlement and a rotten skirt chasing boos leads you on an exciting ride.

Best book I have read in a long while.

This the second book in Piers Anthony's Cluster sci-fi series. The action is great, with many plot twists and tense moments.

This is the story of Melody of Mintaka, she is the only trustworthy being in the Milky way Galaxy, who has to help because the aliens from Galaxy Andromeda are possessing the Milkyway's most powerful people.

Rather to sexually suggestive for me but a good read none the less.

A most beautiful black and white illustrated description of this marvelous miniature castle. Her father was a wonderful man to do this for her and the designer is a work of art.

A must for all dollhouse overs out there.

This is a good book, I did not realize that it was book one and two together I thought it was a third installment but a nice book none the less if you can't find the individual ones.

It's a prequel, of course, but in realtime it was the last book written in the series.
This book is a part of Asimov's Foundation series it talks about events taking place between "Prelude to Foundation" and "Foundation" and it helps pull those two books together.

The novel consists of four parts, each separated by about ten years.Forward the foundation is a biography of Hari Seldon, filling in the areas of his life not previously covered in Prelude to foundation.

Asimov uses this book to tie together his robot books starring R. Daneel Olivaw with the foundation series. Daneel is a major political figure, but it is Hari who is the dominant character. The story is set on the imperial capital of Trantor, and Seldon is both a mathematics professor and the first minister to Emperor Cleon.

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can not say enough about this book but I will try. I Became a Wok Master in just a few dishes. One of those being Making Popcorn in your wok!!! Of all things.

I bought Wok your way skinny first and was half way through when I knew I had to order anything that she wrote, which I put on my wish list right away.

If you want to learn to cook in a Wok or you want to get healthier Buy her books. You can't go wrong at all.

I have to give this a one star.The book is about a collector of paintings, his new wife and kids from first marriage. They mention the paintings, Collecting them, Why, How, The subjects in the paintings, value, cleaning and on and on. I was so tired of hearing about them. Plus they use the "F" word on almost every page. It just drags on and on and the story line is very repetitive. I hope others enjoy it, it was just not my kind of book.
