Summary: If you were helpless with laughter over "Shanghai Noon", enjoy satirical British humor and terrible puns, or just need your Pratchett fix, grab this book. Unfamiliar with Terry Pratchett and his Discworld series? It's time to discover one of the funniest, most literate, and most thought-provoking authors writing today.
The Monks of History live in a Tibetan sort of area known as "enlightenment country." Their job: "to see that tomorrow happens at all." A mysterious Lady wants time-obsessed Jeremy Clockson to build a totally accurate glass clock. It will trap time and stop it, eliminating humanity's irritating unpredictability. This would make the Auditors, who observe the universe and enforce the rules governing it, very happy. It would also put Death out of a job, which the Grim Reaper "isn't" happy about. Fortunately, the History Monks have encountered this situation before; in fact, Lu Tze, the Sweeper, has "personally" dealt with it before. Even better, he has a new, gifted apprentice, Lobsang Ludd, the "thief of time." "This" time, they'll stop trouble before it can start! To add chaos to the mix, there's the Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse--the one who quit before they became famous.
Although there "are" 25 other Discworld novels and many of the characters appeared first in previous books, you don't need to have read even one to enjoy "The Thief of Time". (If you're the sort of reader who hates to miss any references, you might want to track down a copy of "The Discworld Companion".) As a bonus, this book is a painless introduction to what quantum physics says about the nature of time. "--Nona Vero"

Summary: David Weber and John Ringo continue their outstanding re-telling of the story of Xenophon and the 10000...well, not exactly. Now it is the Prince, the captain, the Satanist, Nimashet, a platoon of troopers and an entire planet full of "scummies."As begun in March Upcountry, Roger and his bodyguards are crashlanded on the planet Marduk, which is a death-planet, and controlled by the enemy besides. And they crash landed all the way around the planet...Will Prince Roger grow up fast enough to live through this? Will Captain Pahner kill him before he grows up? Will His Evilness be thwarted?The only way you'll find out the answers to these questions is to buy the book.The style is reminiscent of Heinlein and Poul Anderson. The pacing is a headlong stampede from the first page to the last. Along the way, we are treated to some rather deep discussion of philosophy and politics, feminism and cultural imperialism, coated with a veneer of action and adventure.We have real characters, like Nimashet Despreaux, Sergeant, killer, beautiful woman...and Roger himself, with surprising depth. Even the vignette characters are impressively well drawn.Weber proves once again that he can write something other than Honor Harrington, while John Ringo showcases his versatility and his continuing growth as a writer.Eye candy. That's what it is.Another winner for the big pusher of eye candy, Jim Baen.The worst part of it is that the story isn't finished, and now I have to wait for the third installment.I don't wait well.Guess I'll just have to go re-read March Upcountry and March to the Sea.Eye candy.

Summary: I don't know what it is about military SF that appeals to me so, but just give me a squad of marines, an alien jungle, and a plasma cannon, and I am a happy girl. This version of that basic recipe has all the common elements: the soldiers are shipwrecked on an inhospitable planet with unfriendly natives whom they must kill in job lots to win their way back home. This time around the green, untested lieutenant who gradually learns about life and war is actually a prince of the blood. Granted, the character development does leave something to be desired, especially regarding the "alien" Cord. This sort of story, however, does not really require a lot of personal insight to be successful. Stock characters are sufficient to give an idea of motivation, and the battle scenes are excellent.In all, this looks like a promising beginning to a series (a trilogy, or so I've heard). Possibly future installments will focus more on the characters and their personalities, but even if they don't this series should be good for a light, fast read. I recommend this book particularly for fans of Tanya Huff's VALOR'S CHOICE as they seem to have a lot in commmon.
