Excellent Read!.......2000-11-02
This book is excellent! I read it from start to finish the same day it arrived. It touches on details not covered in the games and in a time of trouble for Wing Commander fans (there are no further game sequels planned) it satisfies the need for a Wing Commander product nicely.
Pretty darn good!.......2000-03-28
In a time of need, a great warrior must step up to take command. This book is rather typical of the series which has one guy practically saving the whole human race. Somewhat implausible, but still written very well. Another bit of Forstchen magic!
A little stale, but it is still Wing Commander..........2000-01-19
It gets the plot of the game down pretty well, though certain plot points are not in the right order, but that's not important. It gets boring after a while being on the Victory or in Blair's fighter the entire book, but it details the end of the war, and, hey, that's cool...
Damn fine.......1999-03-24
William R.Forstchen is without a doubt one of the most emotive authors I have ever read, (I'm a complete book worm and get through a book every 2-3 days) and this book was no exception, however the framework had already been laid out by the game which only gave him so much manouvering room in writing it. However do not think I don't like the book, on the cotary I thought it was great but not as good as the ones that are purely his. I'm only giving it four stars because otherwise I would have no way to signify that I thought Action Stations and End Run were better books(I haven't got round to reading Fleet Action yet as its out of stock at every bookstore in the country). Another problem is that the story of WC3 is too big to put into one book, A trilogy may have been better. The first book ending at Locanda, the second with the destuction of the Behometh and the last book ending at Kilrah. However it is a riverting read and I would recommend it to anyone. All in all te book (like all Forstchen books) leaves you feeling damn proud to be a human being.

Customer Reviews:
Suspenseful story with memorable characters.......2004-11-03
This was my first book by Lynn Kerstan, and I liked her style. There is a lot to recommend this book: suspenseful story, exotic location (India), well researched and detailed info., flawed but likeable h/h, and especially, really, really great dialogue (Georgette Heyer comes to mind). "Heart of the Tiger" was very easy to read, very easy to keep turning the pages. The storyline was different enough to be intriguing, and the interaction between the h/h was simply very good and very funny.
While I liked this author's style and would definitely buy another of her books, this particular book did not appeal to me too much. I'm not a fan of the supranatural, and there is too much of that interwoven into the story (along with a lot of interweaving of Hindu religion) for me to have really enjoyed this book.
Recommended, with reservations.
Heart of the Tiger.......2003-06-03
I read a review in the Library Journal for Heart of the Tiger and decided I needed to get the book. The review was right on! It said Heart of the Tiger was 'romantic', 'a beautifully written novel', with 'deeply conflicted, honorable and effectively rendered' characters. What it didn't tell me was I'd be up until three in the morning because I couldn't put the book down. It's a great read!
delightful Regency romantic suspense.......2003-05-12
In 1823, after spending years overseas, Lord Michael Keynes returns home from India. However, he does not return to the family fold, but instead plans to kill his older stepbrother, the notorious Jermyn, Duke of Tallant, not because he wants to inherit, but because he detests his abominable sibling. Jermyn looks forward to the confrontation with an eye on a different outcome.
Michael, accompanied by his Indian friend Hari Singh, rents a room at the estate of Beata Neri. Also residing there is Mira Holocombe and her wheelchair-bound father, who has almost no muscular movement. Jermyn drove them off their estate. Even though he knows better, Michael falls in love with Mira, but fears that if Jermyn finds out she will become an endangered pawn in their life and death contest. Mira reciprocates Michael's feelings, but seems to react with horror whenever Michael touches her. There is someone else who wants both brothers dead.
HEART OF THE TIGER is a delightful Regency romantic suspense novel with some eastern paranormal elements to freshen up the plot. The characters for the most part are a wonderful group as their uniqueness makes each of the key players and the plot come alive. Jermyn is too evil to take seriously except as a viable threat and even that proves minuscule. Still sub-genre fans will appreciate Lynn Kerstan's tale and look forward to the next story starring another Michael enemy, the Archangel.

I've read lots of motivational self-help books that just haven't worked, but this book is very different in rhe way that it wakes the reader up to their inborn right to live their best life. I loved this book for the change that it has brought me and for the way it has changed my outlook on my career and personal life.

Twenty out of twenty kids thought it was wonderful!.......2002-04-30
This book is just marvelous! Little Four(the little gray kitten on the cover) follows Bengal into the jungle to learn how to be like a tiger, so that he may earn his name on naming day. I was struck by how Four perseveres, and eventually triumphs, despite all those around him who doubt. This book has everything; exciting action, great moral (without being preachy)and the illustrations are as magical as the rest of the book.(Be sure to look for the hidden tigers!) Positive, empowering and beautiful, it's everything a picture book should be. I read it to my son's 2nd grade class; it was a hit, it really got them excited and talking.
A great bedtime story.......1999-11-04
I sent this book and "Quick Quack Quick" by the same author, to my niece and nephew. They really enjoyed it, and my sister enjoyed reading it to them. Many thanks for such a great story.

Customer Reviews:
One of Douglas' best.......2003-03-10
I completely disagree with the previous reviewer sho praised Jaye Maiman's (ugh!) works over those of Ms. Douglas. I have read all of LWD's books and find all of them compelling, intelligent, literate and thankfully free from the leering [implications] that characterizes so many lesbian so-called works of literature. We mystery readers want a good mystery, not thinly-disguised soft porn. Whereas I don't think this is Douglas' best work (read Ninth Life and Rage of Maidens for that) it is good -- very good -- and head and shoulders about lesser lights like Jaye Maiman. It's in this book that Caitlin as a champion of kids emerges as a theme, and this is carried over into subsequent works. If I could compare Caitlin to anyone, I would compare her to Andrew Vacch's character Burke in her advocacy for the underdog. Caitlin is a much softer character (I mean his in a good way) and is unlike Burke in that respect, but I see many similarities. If this reviewer/reader ignores LWD's other works, she does so at her loss. Ms. Douglas is a talented and thoughtful writer and I have enjoyed every one of her books.
Where's the mystery?.......2001-07-17
Caitlin Reece is a former attorney who has changed career paths becoming a private investigator. This book is the fourth Caitlin Reece Mystery and the first that I have read. The book takes off like a rocket with the murder of one of Reece's former classmates. However, the mystery and suspense virtually end there. The murder consumes Reece's mind and heart with memories. Past memories and extenuating circumstances make taking the case a difficult decision for Reece. More time is spent chasing past memories then is spent on solving the murder itself. Taking the reflections out would make the book 2/3rds smaller.
It is an interesting and easy to read story; however, lacking the "on the edge of your seat" suspense of a good mystery. This is my first experience with Caitlin Reece the Private Investigator, and this experience does not convince me of her skills. Comparatively, Jaye Maiman's Robin Miller, who also changed careers to become a private investigator, is much more convincing. This experience has not convinced me to read the previous Caitlin Reece mysteries right away. Perhaps when I've no other lesbian mysteries left to read I'll return again to Caitlin Reece.

Book Description
A librarian is inspired to delve into the mystery of Shakespeare's authorship. He spends years gathering, reading and sorting all the known facts related to the poet's history. Surely if there was some genuine question about who wrote the works of Shakespeare, someone from the time would have let something slip. He is shocked eventually to discover just how many did.
In among the many historical documents related to Shakespeare, he finds a long line of satirical letters, pamphlets, epigrams and other allusions that run alongside the poet's unfolding chronicle. They all mirror the same piece of news. Yes, there was an actor named William Shakspere but behind him stood a woman. Several even openly identify her as being Mary Sidney, the countess of Pembroke.
Though these satirical works touching on Shakespeare would almost all be relegated to the flames in the suppression of satire in 1599, copies of everything would survive. When these documentary remains are reinstated without bias and permitted their due say, Shakespeare's biography becomes far richer and more dynamic than has hitherto been reported.
In this first volume, Tiger's Heart in Woman's Hide, all the evidential history bearing down on Shakespeare's first year is presented. By its end it will be clear that Mary Sidney is, provably, the right person in the right place at the right time with just the right motive to do what Shakespeare will do. Although the wash of history already indicates this, it is it he contemporary third-party corroboration of the satirists that confirms this was how in-the-know Elizabethans interpreted Shakespearean matters.

Dreams and Spirituality.......2006-11-10
This little book holds a lot of information and gives a person much food for thought. It is a short and easy read and also a book I will reread regularly. Kelsey has done some great research with regard to the history of using dreams as guides, particularly in reference to the Bible. I agree that it is high time for theology and society to value dreams as connections with our higher power.
Dreams: An important process, for growth to inner life........1999-05-11
I began reading Morton Kelsey's books in 1975 after experiencing a very powerful dream on death and dying.
Before exploring my dreams, I was terrified of dying. Becoming more aware of my dreams, I realized that God was communicating to me in a way that was not threatening. At first I was a little apprehensive, to give dreams a priority in my spiritual life but I learned more and more to trust this wonderful gift that God has given me.
God has always given me the interpretation of these dreams, it is not difficult once you learn to communicate with God in this fashion. Why would God give you dreams without the interpretations, it does'nt make sense.
I have read many Morton Kelsey GOD, DREAMS, and REVELATION and John Sanford Dreams: God's Forgotten Language books which introduced me to Carl Jung. Memories, Dreams, Reflections I especially like Jung's biography " Memories,Dreams and Reflections". This book enabled me to understand many life changes that I experienced in the '70's.
I continue to regard my dreams as the most effective way to communicate with my deeper self. Dreams have given me many challenges. They have helped me to overcome obstacles and they have put me back on the right track when I wander.
I would recommend these 3 powerful authors if you are searching for answers in your life.
Good introductory book to dream interpretation........1999-02-07
This small book is a decent introduction to dreams and dream interpretation, particularly for those who want a more Christian slant as opposed to New Age. Kelsey pulls heavily from Carl Jung and the Bible to support his ideas. The only drawback was that it left me wanting him to expound more on the subject.
