Boy did i make a make mistake..........2004-12-20
by NOT buying this masterpice when i had the chance! My Library had a copy and i took it out, read it and loved it! i thought that i could just go back there for when ever i had a craving to read this great story, but now it's listed as "missing," i.e. some kid borrowed it and never returned it. Now it's out of print, hard to find, and when u can find it it's pricey. Well, it's availble here and i'm gettin' my copy before the're all gone, and if you like the
Hulk or super-hero comics in general, buy this baby while you still can.
The enemy is me........2004-11-05
Another masterpiece from the mind of Peter David, Future Imperfect is praised by fans and critics not only as some of his best Hulk work, but as some of his best work overall!
Brought forward in time ninety years and arriving in a post-apocalyptic future, the Hulk is beseeched by a group of resistance fighters to take down the being responsible for all the devastation. A being known only as "the Maestro."
But the battle won't be a simple one, for the Hulk soon learns that the Maestro is none other than a bizarre future incarnation of himself! Driven insane by decades of persecution, made even stronger by the free-floating radiation of the era, and having nearly a hundred years more experience than his younger self, the Maestro will rank as the Hulk's greatest challenge ever...... assuming he survives it.
Featuring art by George Perez and colors by Tom Smith, Future Imperfect is a modern-classic that belongs in every fan's collection.

Book Description
Capt. James T. Kirk's historic voyages have seldom been recorded fro, the vantage point of those who served "below deck" on the Starship Enterprise™ NCC-1701. This new trilogy reveals the courage and dedication of the men and women who constitute Kirk's crew, as well as the unearthly dangers faced by any who dare to explore the final frontier!
THE JANUS GATE
book two of three
FUTURE IMPERFECT
On a desperate rescue mission to recover their missing captain, the shuttle Copernicus and its crew have become lost in time and space, transported by a powerful subspace vortex to a hellish future time line where the brutal Gorn Hegemony has all but conquered the United Federation of Planets. Stranded on a transformed Federation colony, now a Gorn mining world worked by oppressed human slaves, Helmsman Hikaru Sulu meets an older version of a man he barely knows, Pavel Chekov, who now leads a ragtag band of freedom fighters against the Gorns.
Teamed together for the first time, Sulu and Chekov must struggle to survive in a future that should never have happened!

Better tahn book one, but still a bit of a letdown.......2004-05-12
Well, here we are with book 2 of the Janus Gate trilogy. As has been previously mentioned, this is by no means a stand-alone. I have no problem with that; if I'm reading a trilogy and I start with book 2, I deserve any headaches I get while trying to glean what happened in book 1.
This book is better than "Present Tense" in that things get moving story-wise, and especially toward the end, I really got into the story. I will definitely be reading book 3, if only to find out how this whole mess gets resolved. Having said all that, I still feel like this series overall would've been much better as either two books or one big book. It feels padded, and although the writing is excellent, there were moments when I couldn't wait to be done with the book to move on to something more intresting. The characters kept examining their situation, trying to figure it out ... but seeming to get nowhere. It seemed more about trying to solve te puzzle than about the characters involved.
I really had a hard time rating this book. The writing is excellent; the handling of the characters is dead-on as far as I'm concerned, and when the story's moving it's great. It just seems like it moves in jolots, rather than a smoothe--or even exhillaratingly bumpy--ride. I definitely get the feeling the story as a whole was padded to fit a certain length. I think Pocket Books would do well to focs less on quantity and more on quality. This should've been a two-parter. Or a "Giant" Trek novel. As it stands, to coin a Tolkien phrase, it feels like butter that's been scraped over too much bread.
Even better, in most ways, than book one........2002-11-16
For instance, the back cover blurb, while still clearly inaccurate, isn't quite as blatently inaccurate as was the blurb on the back of "Past Tense", the first book of the series. For another thing, while still ending on a cliffhanger, this book at least does us the courtesy of doing so AFTER resolving a major plot point. And the writing is just as good as it was in the first book of the series, which is saying quite a bit.
Unfortunately, while this book comes closer than book one did to having an actual ending, it has no beginning; one could not reasonably expect to enjoy this book if one hadn't read book one of the series, so it still can't stand alone. So while the series is well worth reading, I cannot recommend this book by itself. It is a story fragment, and can only be read as part of a trilogy.
Here Today, Gorn Tomorrow !!!.......2002-09-11
The second book in L.A.Graf's "Janus Gate" trilogy is an exciting adventure which builds on the ground work laid in book one. This time there is more of a science fiction edge, as the true nature of the Janus gate mechanism is revealed, and just how out-of-sync the time stream now is becomes apparent. The future adventure with Sulu and an older Chekov fighting the Gorn is an excellent idea, and the fact that the author found a new and interesting way to use established characters and aliens from the original series speaks volumes of her ability as a writer. The ending too manages to throw in another curve to the story with the arrival of the mysterious "Shechenag", and the reader can't help but be drawn in to the next book. For any other fans who liked this story I would also like to recommend "Killing Time" by Della Van Hise published in July 1985 (Star Trek collection #24), which features an excellent story where Romulans have altered time creating a distorted future in which Spock is an embattled starship captain, and Kirk is a bitter ensign. As for this book, it is another enjoyable effort from Graf, even better than the first one.
Good book-sort of a let down.......2002-07-11
This book was still very good, and is a good timeline novel, but it is not the best of the three in the series. The book makes a good effort with the Scheenag, but the end falls apart in a strange cliffhanger.
An Improvement on Book 1.......2002-07-06
Book one was basically the setup for the story that finally gets moving in this book. Having the alternate Sulu and Chekov interacting with each others counterparts is interesting but not. The young Kirk comes across as a typical teenager. The L. A. Graf writing team have written Uhura Chekov and Sulu stories before and are once again on the mark.

Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03
A collection of short books I didn't find very remarkable. If you get a
cheap bookclub edition or used, that is not so bad though.
A Great Bargain!.......2006-06-04
My 2 favorite stories by Connie Willis are in this 3-book-in-one collection: Bellweather and Uncharted Territory. The middle book, Remake, is okay.
Yes, Bellweather or Uncharted Territory might be found at your local library--but if you're like me, the best books should always be found close at hand. You can't beat a cheap, hardback, 3-book-in-one edition!

Book Description
One in four women will experience clinical depression, anxiety, or premenstrual depression in her lifetime. The good news is that popular new prescription drugs like Prozac and Xanax bring much needed relief. The bad news is that many physicians and therapists are unaware of common issues for women. As medical treatment for depression and anxiety has become simpler, more and more general practitioners are prescribing antidepressants, often with little background in the nonmedical alternatives or complex mind-body interactions.
Emphasizing women's family roles as well as their unique biological/hormonal sensitivities, Dr. Raskin explains contemporary integrated treatment options. Raskin pays special attention to how birth control, menstrual cycles, childbearing, and menopause impact treatment choices. Raskin empowers women to take an active approach in dealing with common side effects, including weight gain and diminished sexual responsiveness. Using revealing case studies, Raskin offers a wealth of hands-on advice.
At a time when trends in health care have led to less personalized contact between doctor and patient, When Words Are Not Enough provides the facts and reassurance women need to be in control of their own health.

Excellent resource for women (and their families) managing depression........2007-01-03
This book is an incredible resource for women struggling with depression. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars; I credit it with helping me save my life. The research is current, thorough and on point. It is particularly useful if you have post-partum, are pregnant or are trying to get pregnant. My husband also found it extremely helpful in learning more about my situation. This is absolutely worth the investment because it is a resource you will use time and time again.
Best book for ANYONE that has ever been depressed or Anxious.......2003-11-24
I have suffered ppd for the last 1.5 years. It was so bad I had to go on medication and since then had to up my dose. This book has helped me see why this has happened to me and how a person gets depressed in the first place. IT is NON judgemental and also validating but besides that it tells you how to RECOVER! It is a wonderful book. It doesn't leave anything uncovered. I want Valerie Raskin to know THANKYOU for saving my life and my marriage from the demon of ppd. I also got your book This isn't what I Expected and it is a wonderful addition to this one for the PPD sufferer. Big hugs and big thankyou to you Valerie.
You changed my life :)
So true.......2003-08-14
This was the best book I have ever read on depression.
Great for anyone who wants to learn more.......2002-12-07
This book was easy to understand and very helpful. I myself already had some knowledge about depresssion so it was not as useful to me as it would be to most people. I really learned some very interesting new things though. It clearly described the types of depression and how to know the difference. It gave me some new knowledge about hormones and their role-which is KEY. I definetly recommend if you have a relative with depression(like me) or you feel you may be depressed- even if you don't want to admit it (like me.)
