He's a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody.

Bradley Denton - "Blackburn"

From Library Journal
Abused and unloved, Blackburn is a true victim of circumstance who devises his own strict moral code to guide him in all matters including whom and what to kill. On his 17th birthday, Blackburn shoots a cop who has just killed a dog in the town church. He then embarks on a career as a one-man eliminator of those who mistreat and prey upon others. Using stark, unadorned prose, Denton ( Buddy Holly Is Alive and Well on Ganymede , Morrow, 1991) has created a modern-day parable illustrating the shades of good and evil and the meanings of life. Sometimes humorous but more often heart-wrenching, Blackburn delivers a knockout punch to rigid, self-satisfied thinking everywhere. Excellent.

Reader's review
BLACKBURN is one of those books that will change you. Once you've read it, you will never see the world the same way again. There are no convenient blacks and whites in this brilliant novel. Blackburn is a man we understand and sympathize with. EVEN WHEN HE KILLS PEOPLE! We laugh and cheer. EVEN WHEN HE KILLS PEOPLE! And when we think about that, we shudder because we know that what he's doing is WRONG, but it feels so right and that, my friends, is a very disturbing thing to think. This is one of those books you will never forget.

Tim Powers - "Anubis Gates"

Great time-travel novel
Winner of the 1984 Philip K. Dick Award for best original science fiction paperback
'Anubis Gates' takes you back to the early nineteenth century in London, with a quick jaunt to the mid-1600s in the middle of the book. The main character, Brendan Doyle, is a scholar who is researching the biography of the poet William Ashbless, hired to accompany a group of paying passengers back in time from 1983 to see a lecture by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. I was very curious to see how Powers handled the paradox of changing a history that had already happened - and, to be honest, a bit skeptical that he would be able to satisfy me. I was pleasantly surprised. The paradoxes resolve themselves so neatly that it made me pause and think, "maybe this *is* what happened". The thread of Egyptian mythology that ties the story together makes the suspension of disbelief easy, since Powers isn't trying to convince you that the technology for time-travel actually existed in 1983, rather he is relying on a mysticism that has been around for millenia. And the ending was just perfect.

Agatha Christie - "The Body in the Library": A Miss Marple Mystery

This is Agatha Christie at her best. It was a great read. I couldn't put it down. I wish I had read the book before I saw it on T.V.'s Mystery! Her original ending was better.
A great mystery, one of the best ones ever written!

Elizabeth Powell - "A Reckless Bargain"

One word sums up this book: Wow!! Up until now, I'd grown sick of wimpy, whiny Regency heroines who do nothing but wring their hands and worry about what dress to wear, and heroes who have no depth of character beyond being handsome, wealthy, and well bred. Here, Ms. Powell gives us a heroine who is intelligent and emotionally vulnerable, and a flawed hero who manages to redeem himself in the end.

I won't reprise the storyline, since the other reviewers have already done so, but I must say I was very impressed with Elizabeth Powell's dealing with a storyline of seduction. I was reading this in a bookstore coffeehouse, and the seduction scenes made me...well...let's just say I was getting very flushed. Finally, a rake who acts like a rake! Not only that, I was impressed that the author gave me a peek into Nicholas's mindset - the reasons behind his behavior. He didn't come off as slimy at all, but a man who had his own demons to defeat.

Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child - "Dance of Death"

I have enjoyed nearly everything these co-authors have written, and this book is no exception except that it takes the reader to new heights of suspence. The Pendergast characters have both been developed so that now we can see more clearly into their very strange, eerie world. I would recommend first reading "Relic" to gain a little background on the museum and some of the characters, but that's not essential. This book can stand on it's own.
