Review: This was an interesting read, wrote as a prequel to the orignal film it unfortantly sets up continuity problems with the second and third films. Apperently the film-makers failed to read the story lines before extending the story here on Earth. smile.gif Ignoring those problems, it is a good book.

Enter two of the most unlikely heroes- Hawk and his wife Fisher as they fight spell-caster, demons, and thieves. Story 1: Hawk and Fisher are trapped in a building with a murderer and a lot of potential suspects.

Review: Really good as far as mystery who-done-it books go. Green has a very distinctive writing style and tends to re-cycle character ideas though. Story 1 in a 3 story collection with a surprise twist at the ending. Could have been longer

Book Title: The First Eagle (Joe Leaphorn & Jim Chee Series #13)

Author: Tony Hillerman

Summary: For acting Lieutenant Jim Chee, the murder of a Navajo Tribal Police officer seems like an open-and-shut case when he discovers a Hopi poacher huddled over the victim's butchered corpse. However, Chee's newly retired predecessor, Joe Leaphorn, believes otherwise.  Hired to find a missing biologist who was searching for the key to a virulent hidden plague—and who vanished in the same area and on the same day the policeman was slain—Leaphorn suspects both events are somehow connected. And the reported sighting of a "skinwalker"—a Navajo witch—has Leaphorn and Chee seeking answers to a deadly riddle in a dark place where superstition and science collide.

Re-read of the 3 story book collection "Guards of Haven"

 

 

Book Number: 8

Number Of Pages: 176

Book Title: Wolf in the Fold

Author: Simon R. Green

Summary: City guard Hawk and Fisher are back in the first part of a 3 book collection “Guards of Haven”. This time they must impersonate “Quality” Haven’s term for the Noble Class. If they are caught, their superiors will deny any knowledge of them and they will be executed. But to catch a spy, Hawk and Fisher must go forward despite the fact that shapechange magic cannot be used to disguise them!

Review: This volume helps tie Hawk and Fisher in a bit better with another Book by Green “Blue Moon Rising” and starts to hint at more of the duo’s shrouded past. But while the foreshadowing helps, Green has yet again recycled the idea of “Group of people with secrets trapped in a building with a killer”.

Rating: 4 out of 5

 

Book Number: 9

Number Of Pages: 167

Book Title: Guard Against Dishonor

Author: Simon R. Green

Summary: A new super drug is showing up on the streets of Haven causing madness and death. Hawk and Fisher race to stop the distribution and prevent the deaths of thousands, but when the dust settles and the bad guys are in jail, all the drugs vanish. With no evidence the ones responsible are allowed to walk. Now Hawk and Fisher must find the drugs, and stop the corrupt Guard before it’s too late.

Review: Not bad over all. Plenty of twists and turns in the plot to keep your attention

Summary: Something has happened to cause the Dead in Haven to stir and it isn’t good. With the dead killing the living, and Ancient Beings on the move, it’s up to Hawk and Fisher to save the Living and the Dead from what’s coming!

Review: A bit longer than the other 6 Hawk and fisher books, and well worth the time to read. Keeps you guessing on what is next through out and has a very touching bit between Hawk and Fisher towards the end

I would like to sing up for this again, even though I may not read all too much these days... Last year it actually helped me to read more books so I hope it'll help me again since I really love to read.

 

And I've one question, I know that you're allowed to count unpublished fiction if it has over 20,000 words. I write quite many stories myself and I always read them when I'm done since I want to make sure that I haven't failed with the grammar or spelling somewhere in the story... So would those count too...?
