Never judge a science fiction novel by it's cover. Cover art on science fiction novels rarely bears any relation to the content. Cover artists tend to be given access to one or two pages of text at most and have to base their artwork on that or a brief description (prepared by some feeb at the publisher's office who didn't read the book either) of one or more of the main characters. Oh, yeah, and rejected cover art is sometimes recycled for another novel. I can't remember what novel it was, but I am pretty sure that cover art that should have gone on Enemy Mine by Barry Longyear ended up on something else ...

Anything by Michael McGarrity

But what's the name of the book ... ;)

Christ the Lord - Out of Egypt by Anne Rice

What did you think of it?

Michael McGarrity Slowkill, under the color of law, everyone dies. Think that's the ones I've read or reading.

My line would have been a lot funnier if his book had actually been called "anything".

(I was going for a Who's on first thing).

I'll have to check him out ... any other that compells people to read more of his stuff is usually worth checking out.

Do his books have to be read in order, or can you jump right on on the middle?

Actually thought it was pretty good - she definitely got the feel of the times down - you can tell there was quite a bit of research involved...
my only complaint? It's a very easy read - I finished it in like 4 hours... and wanted more.
Have you read it yet?

Think it might be best to start in some order, because he uses the same (cariters, hell spell check can't even go with that) "folks."
Maybe have a look at his website?

No. But I saw news on it when it came out. I may give it a shot.

dar - I do feel it's worth the read - I am looking forward to the next one...

Angels and Demons - Dan Brown

(Given my overall disappointment with The DaVinci Code, I'm not holding out much hope for this book either, but I'm giving it a try anyway.)

Just started 'Every Second Counts' the follow-on by Lancey-baby after his initial 'It's not about the bike'. Judging by first chapter it's going to be as good a read, but saving the rest of it for a very long flight towards the end of the month (bet you can hardly wait to learn what the rest of the book is like...)

Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk

I read Angels and Demons last year, and thought it was a fun read. Not so good that I'm dying to read The DaVinci Code, though.
