Her new supervisor, Assistant Special Agent in Charge William Keats, one of only two agents in the Northeast to make his rank before the age of thirty, sees in Angela a fellow prodigy. But Angela's skills come with a natural curiosity, which is also a dangerous liability.

M. P. Shiel = Matthew Phipps ShielOne of the strangest books I have ever read—part melodrama, part political treatise, part mystical fantasy. The story is of Richard Hogarth, a man of lofty spirit who on discovering a cache of giant diamonds inside a fallen meteor undertakes a bold project to re-shape the human condition on a global scale. The prose is old-fashioned and ornate, and is at times tiresome, but at other times it is quite wonderful and poetic. You can tell that the author was swinging for the fences, and if he was perhaps a little more hip he might have actually made it out of the park.It's worth mentioning that the book may seem to have anti-Semitic moments, but I don't think that that was the author's intent; Shiel uses the Jewish people as a kind of symbol in the way that another writer might use a myth or a legend as a way of adding meaning and weight to a text. There are Jews in the novel who are stingy, mean and cunning according to the old stereotype, but there are also Jewish protagonists, and in time the Jews people are depicted as a sort of God-chosen, noble race. Of course, one might ask whether it was a good idea for Shiel to bowdlerize a real community of people as a literary device, and I can hardly blame them. Interestingly, the novel prefigures the state of Israel by almost half a century. Views: 683

I honestly thought that being forced to go to the ballet with my Gran was the worst thing I’d ever had to do and that was BEFORE I knew that the dancers on stage were a bunch of reanimated corpses controlled by a psychotic necromancer named Albertino.I honestly thought that being forced to go to the ballet with my Gran was the worst thing I’d ever had to do and that was BEFORE I knew that the dancers on stage were a bunch of reanimated corpses controlled by a psychotic necromancer named Albertino.THEN I had to go to his studio to find and destroy his talisman to save the trapped souls all by myself – since Gran is the only other medium I know and apparently she’s “too old to run around all day chasing talismans.” And the talisman in question? Sitting right on Albertino’s big fat finger.I haven’t even gotten to the worst part yet.

By the time I got to the end I could not wait to pick up the second one and see where the story went."~Chantress Views: 682
