Excellant coverage of Great Lakes Life-Saving Stations. Very techical though, some personal narrative, but primarily technical/academic

The Knight's Vow

Wonderful book! Very descriptive----I could see and hear everything that went on as if it was a movie rather than a book.

Stargate Atlantis: Entanglement

Exciting and well written, I could see and hear the actors as if I was watching it. There is a lesson in this one as well, that all is not necessarily what it seems and sometimes you have to take a risk to trust someone that you might think you can't---and they turn out to be a valuable ally.

Stargate SG1 Barque of Heaven

Good story. Another adventure for SG-1. Yet again, you can really hear and see the actors as you read the story. Good job of using Daniel's Egyptology---good research by the author.

Stargate Atlantis #8 Blood Ties

Ok, I know, another SciFi, but I'm in grad school and so personal reading time is at a primium and it just looked really really good!

Heroines---what exactly does strong mean?

Several of the historicals I've tried to read lately, I found that I couldn't finish because the heroines were....welll, the wrong kind of strong.

Stargate: Atlantis--Reliquary

Very good book. I could really hear and see the characters just as they are on the show. It was exciting and fast, just like I like the episodes to be. The only problem was, they referred to season 3 events and yet had Lt. Ford on the team----that's not accurate to the show.
