The Far Side of the Stars (Lt. Leary)

Book Description

While the Republic of Cinnabar is at peace with the Alliance, warriors like Lt. Daniel Leary and Signals Officer Adele Mundy must find other work--like escorting a pair of wealthy nobles on an expedition to the back of beyond! The Princess Cecile, the corvette in which they carved their reputations in letters of fire, has been sold as a private yacht, but she still has her guns, her missiles, and her veteran crew. Daniel and Adele will need all of those things as they face winged dragons, an Alliance auxiliary cruiser, jealous lovers, and a mysterious oracle which really does foresee the future. That won't be enough, though, when they penetrate a secret Alliance base and find a hostile fleet ready for a war that will sweep Cinnabar out of a strategically crucial arm of the galaxy. Preventing that will involve skill, courage, and more luck than a sane man could even pray for; and it will require a space battle on a scale that a tiny corvette like the Princess Cecile has no business being involved in. But she'll be in the middle of it anyway, because Daniel, Adele, and their Cinnabar crew would never turn their backs on a fight!

Good Read.......2006-11-06

Though I feel that the female lead is somewhat uncaring of the lower classes, more than she should be if she lived as one for years, I still feel the book is agood read.

Plenty of excitement in another enjoyable "Navy in Space" book.......2006-06-03

This is the third novel about Lt. Daniel Leary of the Cinnabar space navy and his information officer (plus spy) Adele Mundy. It's solid work, better than the second in the series but not as good as the first.

In The Far Side of the Stars Cinnabar and the Alliance are nominally at peace. So the Princess Cecile is sold out of the Navy to an aristocratic couple who which to use it to search for a mysterious sculpture of great value to them.

Conveniently, the intelligence service which secretly employs Mundy wishes to investigate suspicious Alliance activity in the "Commonwealth", a loose assemblage of star systems/pirates in the "Galactic North". So they are happy to have Leary take a non-Navy job with the now private Princess Cecile, as the couple who have bought her wish to head to the Galactic North.

Their journey involves visiting quite a few planets, with menaces ranging from angry locals to dragons to overzealous monks to long-deserted Cinnabar ships rusting away. And also, of course, an Alliance ship thinly disguised as a merchant. There is plenty of excitement, to be sure, with some of the most spectacular (if perhaps a shade implausible) space battles so far in this series, as well as some clever scheming (and a mystical interlude that didn't work for me).

Superb Variety.......2006-05-01

This story is the third in the Republic of Cinnabar Navy series. This series of stories takes place in the far-future, where mankind has spread through hundreds of inhabated planets in the galaxy. However, power is split among a number of warring factions in control of the more central and civilized star systems, with a good number of backwards and "pirate-infested" systems around the edges.

THE FAR SIDE OF THE STARS(2003) picks up where the 2nd book LT LEARY COMMANDING(2000) and 1st book WITH THE LIGHTNINGS(1998) left off... the main characters Leary (Lt. in the RCN), and Mundy (ex-Librarian, turned Signals Officer) return to Cinnabar, where they must take care of "business at home" for a bit, amid an apparent truce between Cinnabar and The Alliance.. But they become aware that their old ship, PRINCESS CECILE, is being sold off to a rich couple (Klimovs) seeking adventure on outback worlds in "The Commonwealth of God", and it looks like the old crew will be broken up - but Lt. Leary (now reserve Lt. Leary) finds a way to keep the ship and most of the crew together to seek adventure in "The Galactic North", as well as keep an eye out for the interests of Cinnabar against the "evil" Alliance of Stars - who, even under a flag of truce, is scheming for advantage in this part of the Galaxy.

The Leary series is very similar to the John Grimes series of stories produced by A. Bertram Chandler in the 60's/70's/80's (albiet a bit more sophisticated, and technologically up-to-date). Indeed, it is apparent that Drake gives homage to Chandler, by naming the Captain of the rival Alliance ship "Captain Bertram".

I found this book to be more interesting than the last one in the series, as there is much more variety... with a huge bar room brawl/riot, a dragon-like alien hunt, varied sexual escapades, along with the usual melees and space battles.

One nitpick... The author does a good job of describing Mundy's ability to control the RF frequency domain; but when he mentions actual frequencies, he is not dealing with reality... 15 KiloHertz for a base frequency is barely above audio frequencies - and couldn't be used to pass gas, let alone a complicated "program", as was described in Chapter 19... even 15 MegaHertz would be low and inappropriate for this work - try 151.820Mhz, or 15 Ghz next time.

A commanding tribute to the master..........2005-01-28

The Far Side of the Stars, with it's rather obvious take on Aubrey-Maturin in both title and its characters, is an intriguing read, something that gives a certain feel of nostalgia for the previous canon, but spins in itself a world of its own.

In general, the characters are familiar, both when introduced in the first RCN book and now into this third volume. I very much enjoyed the characterization of Leary and Mundy, though they do seem a bit familiar to a fan of O'Brian's work, they also have a life of their own and as far as I'm concerned seeing a friendship of their sort is very much an enjoyable thing to read.

The plot of the book is again derivitive but fresh in that it takes a set of old ideas and puts them into an interesting setting. I do think the tree was a bit contrieved and the redemption of the ex-RCN officers a bit too pat, but that's a minor quibble compared to the generally interesting book.

Perhaps most is that I enjoyed reading the book as it reminded me so much of O'Brian's masterpiece series, the supporting cast, the personalities the general prose and feel were all very similar, and I guess perhaps it might be an acquired taste, but one that is exquisite once it is...

A bit disappointing.......2004-12-19

I love the characters in the Lt. Leary series and looked forward to the next installment. But I was a bit disappointed with The Far Side of the Stars. The characters, especially Daniel, turned one dimensional. Instead of being well knit with the characters triumphing through their own abilities, the storyline is very choppy, very contrived, and not very believable. Lt. Mon is gotten out of the way with scarcely a "By God" and never seen or heard of again, though the character and his fate should have been worth some further discussion. The crew has to leap from planet to planet, never getting a good picture/feel for any of them, to set up a completely unbelievable set of coincidences. The merging with the tree is a VERY old theme, and stretches happenstance way too far since Daniel's neighbor just happens to be...(take a guess. You could see it coming from the time they landed on that particular planet) The convenient rich couple who are conveniently gotten out of the way (sort of like Lt. Mon) and the last second reformation of old Cinnebar citizens are just too much. However, it's hard for Mr. Drake to write a bad book. And with those characters, it's even harder. But he did try. I hope the next 'Lt. Leary' has a bit more thought and originality to it.

Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Book Description

Presenting the Vine’s of the 21st century! Edited by William Mounce, author of the best-selling biblical Greek textbook, this volume draws on world-class contemporary scholarship to set a new standard in biblical word studies. No knowledge of Greek required. Perfect for busy pastors and anyone who wants to better understand God’s Word.

Customer Reviews:

Awesome!.......2007-05-17

Mounce's Dictionary is by far the best on the market for evangelical scholars. Mounce does an excellent job of defining sords from the Old and New Testaments. This is a must have for any college, university, or seminary student, as well as all ministers!

Renn and Mounce.......2007-04-07

Late to arrive was Mounce's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words (Zondervan, though copyrighted 2006). This is very similar to a recently produced (2005), Vine-replacement dictionary from Hendrickson, Stephen Renn, ed., Expository Dictionary of Bible Words: Word Studies for Key English Bible Words Based on the Hebrew And Greek Texts. Both dictionaries do different things. For instance, Mounce has a Hebrew-English and Greek-English Dictionary in the back that gives a more substantive definition (with scriptural references) than Renn, who simply indexes each Strong's entry (original language) with its English counterpart. Thus, words not covered in Vine's (Renn) get some coverage in Mounce.

In the body proper, however, Renn is more substantive: first, in that many entries have an "Additional notes" section that describes the transition of word meaning from the OT to the NT; second, Renn is more comprehensive in words covered. For instance, under "Sacrifice," the noun %ag is also covered under OT words (though its primary referent is "feast"), while the adjective eidôlothyton is covered under NT words. However, Mounce has the advantage of deriving from the NIV rather than KJV. Sometimes this advantage becomes apparent, as when one reviewer of Renn decries a lack of entry for apostasia when, in fact, it could be found under "Forsake" when checking the index. However, in Mounce, apostasia (2x) is only found in the Greek-English dictionary in the back.

Not all that "Complete".......2007-02-17

The title says the dictionary is "Complete," and the cover blurbs call it "Vine's for the 21st Century," and say that compared to Vine's, Mounce's work is "More accurate," "More user-friendly," has "More up-to-date definitions" and a "More complete numbering system."

Undoubtedly these things are all true. It also features, in my opinion, a more readable layout, more contemporary and reader-friendly wording, and the fact that OT and NT words are not divided into entirely separate sections of the book is logical and convenient.

Finally, the inclusion of concise, "Strong's-like" lexicons at the end of the book is a nice touch.

The complaints:

Despite its claims of being "complete," it is most certainly not so. Only when closely examining the Introduction does one understand the curious inability to locate certain words: "It includes all Greek words occurring TEN times or more, all Hebrew words occurring FIFTY times or more, and other words occurring less if they are exegetically or theologically significant." (Emphasis added by reviewer.)

This makes sense if and only if concision is the overriding goal. After a bit of consideration, it is easy to realize that it is often those words LEAST used that are MOST in need of careful definition and exposition. This is a significant drawback, and in my opinion makes the title of the book misleading if not outrightly untruthful.

Involved in a debate about the Biblical teaching about homosexuality? Sorry, except for the very brief entry in the Strong's-type lexicon in the back of the book, you won't find any mention of "arsenokoites" in this tome.

In contrast to Vine, Mounce also seems to provide "exposition" that avoids some of the ongoing controversies in Christianity.

Trying to suss out whether Heaven and Hell really are "everlasting" or merely "age-long" as various "eonian" proponents claim? Vine frames parts of his definitions in such a way that they seem intended to directly address claims posited by some eonians and Universalists; Mounce's definitions are clear and adequate, but less "direct" in terms of addressing controversies.

Big respect for Mounce.......2007-01-03

Mounce advertises his dictionary as an updated replacement for Vines. My big respect for Mounce comes from using his learn NT greek course. Before that (and still) I relied heavily on Vines for definitions of greek NT words and found him more than excellent. The idea of Mounce updating Vines led me to buy 4 copies as gifts for friends.

Mounce's dictionary is like an abridged version of multi-volume International Dictionary of NT, handy for those people with no or middling greek knowledge.

Having used it for a few months my conclusions are:
- I'd recommend it
- It is a good dictionary
- It is tied to a modern numbering system
- Useful scripture index
- Modern multi-scholar content
- It is not as good as Vines - He was the sole author, you became familar with him - his character and godliness, he was very thorough almost exhaustive, he had 'spiritual' insight. Mounce lacks being exhaustive and seems bland in its definitions, almost afraid to be definite or lacking insight. The multiple authors of Mounce leaves me unable to get a feel for their belief and character.

I like having both dictionaries on my shelf. One makes up for the shortcomings of the other. I wouldn't be without both.

Not good enough.......2006-12-21

I agree with the previous reviewers. There are several weaknesses in the layout and the dictionary itself. Example: on page 783, the author discusses the Greek word for weep (Klaio) and his explanation and examples totally ignores one of the most well known times when Jesus wept (John 11:35) which is the verb dakryo. This verb is listed on page 1115 - in the Greek! Not much good for those who haven't studied Greek before. There are several times this happens. The word 'contend' (e.g. used in Jude 3) and receives only one reference in Mounce (Diakrino); in Vine's it receives 3 references (athleo, diakrino & epagonizomai - the actual Greek word used in Jude!) My advice as a language teacher - Vine's should be your first stop - then Mounce's.

As a graduate from Bible college I can assure you that this lexicon is excellent for those with no knowledge of the greek. It is easily laid out and is well worth the price

The most significant biblical words are illustrated by Scripture passages, comments, cross-references, ancient and modern meanings, precise etymologies, historical notes, and clearly defined technical information.

Each original language is indexed, and the addition of a topical index allows you to access all the dictionary entries pertinent to specific New Testament ideas and teachings.

This is an essential reference source for all Bereans.

It does a good job on the Greek words (New Testament) then on the Hebrew words (Old Testament, so I took 1 star away for that. But over all it's a good book & good to have in your library.

Old standard, now surpassed.......2006-07-01

I hate to give this dictionary only 2 stars because it has been the most helpful word study tool for those who do not know the original Biblical languages. But it has now been surpassed by

Mounce's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words (William Mounce).

It is more accurate and thorough than Vine's.

Stephen D. Renn's Expository Dictionary of Bible Words and Lawrence Richards' New International Encyclopedia of Bible Words can also be helpful. But they are less thorough than Vine's, let alone Mounce's.

Other helpful tools for word study include:

Interlinear for the Rest of Us (William Mounce), which includes a Greek-English dictionary.

Word Study Greek-English New Testament (Paul McReynolds), which has a very useful concordance based on Greek words.

O.T. word study dictionary.......2005-10-16

I had seen this book and known exactly what I was getting and it is all I expected.

An excellent tool!.......2004-02-18

I consider this dictionary a real tool for the study of the Old Testament words. I think it is better and more updated than the "Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon of the O.T." and more handy with bigger letters than the classic "The New Brown-Driver-Briggs-Gesenius Hebrew-Aramaic-English Lexicon". I think the book is directed to the novice as well as to the scholar student of the Bible. It is a pity that is not so much known as many other Hebrew dictionaries. Perhaps it lacks somewhat of the apparent and refined scholarship of other dictionaries, but personally I prefer its simple, concise and direct analysis of the entries it uses.

An observation addressed to Amazon: Why is it so difficult to find this book by searching it by its title inside the site of amazon.com?
