NBD|Biblion recensie
De serie boeken van 'De oorlog van de Grote Scheuring' ('Magier' (1997), 'Zilverdoorn' (1997), 'Duisternis over Sethanon' (1998), 'Prins van den bloede' (1998) en 'Boekanier des konings' (1999)) van Feist is in Nederland erg populair. Die populariteit heeft er onder andere toe geleid dat er een computerspel is gemaakt dat zich in deze verzonnen wereld afspeelt. Van dat spel is een romanversie verschenen, geschreven door Feist. Het speelt zich af ongeveer tien jaar na het einde van boek 3. De Dark Elves zijn weer op oorlogspad en het is aan een drietal helden om hen te weerstaan. Bekende personages uit de eerdere boeken maken hun opwachting. Het boek kan los van de eerdere serie gelezen worden, maar aan te bevelen is dat niet. Omdat het boek op een spel is gebaseerd, is het plot vrij lineair en bestaat het voornamelijk uit het vinden van artefacten en personages om naar het volgende niveau te kunnen gaan. Een leuk boek voor de liefhebbers van deze serie, minder interessant voor het algemene publiek. Vergelijkbaar met werk van fantasy-auteurs als Robert Jordan en Terry Brooks.
One of Faulkner's most admired and accessible novels,Light in Augustreveals the great American author at the height of his powers. Lena Grove's resolute search for the father of her unborn child begets a rich, poignant, and ultimately hopeful story of perseverance in the face of mortality. It also acquaints us with several of Faulkner's most unforgettable characters, including the Reverend Gail Hightower, who is plagued by visions of Confederate horsemen, and Joe Christmas, a ragged, itinerant soul obsessed with his mixed-race ancestry. Powerfully entwining these characters' stories,Light in Augustvividly brings to life Faulkner's imaginary South, one of literature's great invented landscapes, in all of its impoverished, violent, unerringly fascinating glory. This edition reproduces the corrected text ofLight in Augustas established in 1985 by Noel Polk.
Daughter of the legendary shadow-puppeteer Bardsham, Leodora has inherited her father’s skills . . . and his enemies. Together with her manager–Soter, keeper of her father’s darkest secrets, and a gifted young musician named Diverus, Leodora has traveled from span to span, her masked performances given under the stage name Jax, winning fame and fortune.
But Jax’s success may be Leodora’s undoing. Years ago, following a performance by Bardsham, the vengeful god known as Lord Tophet visited a horrific punishment upon the span of Colemaigne and its citizens, a reprisal inflicted without warning or explanation. And as the genius of Jax gives rise to rumors that Bardsham has returned, Lord Tophet takes notice and dispatches a quintet of deadly killers to learn the truth behind the mask.
Now, upon the cursed span of Colemaigne, where her father achieved his greatest triumph and suffered his bitterest tragedy, Leodora is about to perform the most shocking story of all.
Lord Tophet is the completion of a two-book adventure.

In his best work, Infinite Jest, Wallace leavened his
smartest-boy-in-class style, perfected in his essays and short stories,
with a stereoscopic reproduction of other voices. Wallace's trademark,
however, is an officious specificity, typical of the Grade A student
overreaching: shifting levels of microscopic detail and self-reflection.
This collection of eight stories highlights both the power and the
weakness of these idiosyncrasies. The best story in the book,
"Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature," assembles a typical Wallaceian
absurdity: a paroled, autodidactic arachnophile accompanies his mother,
the victim of plastic surgery malpractice ("the cosmetic surgeon botched
it and did something to the musculature of her face which caused her to
look insanely frightened at all times"), on a bus ride to a lawyer's
office. "The Suffering Channel" moves from the grotesque to the
gross-out, as a journalist for Style (a celebrity magazine)
pursues a story about a man whose excrement comes out as sculpture. The
title story, about a man and wife driven to visit a sleep clinic, is
narrated by the husband, who soon reveals himself to be the tedious
idiot his father-in-law takes him for. While this collection may please
Wallace's most rabid fans, others will be disappointed that a writer of
so much talent seems content, this time around, to retreat into a set of
his most overused stylistic quirks.
EDITORIAL REVIEW:
*New York Times* best selling author William R. Forstchen now brings us a story which can be all too terrifyingly real...a story in which one man struggles to save his family and his small North Carolina town after America loses a war, in one second, a war that will send America back to the Dark Ages...A war based upon a weapon, an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP). A weapon that may already be in the hands of our enemies.
*
Months before publication, *One Second After* has already been cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read, a book already being discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a truly realistic look at a weapon and its awesome power to destroy the entire United States, literally within one second. It is a weapon that the *Wall Street Journal* warns could shatter America. In the tradition of *On the Beach*, *Fail Safe* and *Testament*, this book, set in a typical American town, is a dire warning of what might be our future...and our end.
Un reportero de un periódico local intenta comprender un moderno «menàge a trois» de pilotos en el circuito de aviación: Laverne, rubia sobre todas las cosas, y Robert Shumann, lo más parecido a un héroe clásico y un paracaidista oscuro siempre cojeante. Durante unos días de festival aéreo, el periodista se siente fascinado por esos seres y se deja arrastrar por ellos: «No son humanos como nosotros… estrelladlos y no habrá sangre cuando los saquéis: será aceite lubricante».
