The book contains two adventures: Heaven Through Iron Gates and Climbing to Tartarus. Both adventures have separate color sections with in-character info to the players. Thankfully, unlike some adventures of the Darkness Revealed series, there are no spoilers in this in-character section. Both adventures can be played independently from the rest of the series, but they'll be much more satisfactory as a conclusion to the Darkness Revealed story arc. Apart from the adventures, there's also some setting info on the extrasolar colonies, North America and Africa.

It's difficult to describe the book without giving out spoilers. Both adventures have a very epic feel (especially Climbing to Tartarus), and, should the characters end them, they'll probably become very popular and influential. Both adventures introduce significant changes to the Trinity universe, no matter how they're concluded.

Resuming, a very solid book. If you like epic space opera, you'll love Ascent to Light.

This book is about a boy who goes into the hospital for a one night stay after an ear operation. The pictures and words are bright, cheery and comforting to young readers. My daughter liked to read this book even after her hospital stay. It was written in England so it shows hospital scenes (like children in group wards) which didn't apply to my daughters stay. I pointed out differences between what would and did happen to her. A good book to show a very young child what going to the hospital will be like and that it isn't as scary as it might seem.

This is a very welcome reader in 'green' cultural studies that includes but goes well beyond 'ecocriticism', as narrowly confined to a subdiscipline of English literature. Its stated aim is 'to stimulate debate about the 'nature' of criticism and to give green studies some much-needed bearings'(Preface).

The readings included are wide ranging, and are organised in three loosely chronological sections: Green Tradition, Green Theory and Green Reading. They have been chosen to help the reader come to terms with the age-old relationship between 'nature' and 'culture', which Jonathan Bate claims in his Foreword to be 'the key intellectual problem of the twentieth century'.

Ecocriticism is better established in the United States than in Britain. This has resulted in two related problems. First, texts on ecocriticism have up to now tended to focus on American literature and theory. Second, North Atlantic ecocriticism has not engaged with (non-English) European thought as thoroughly as it might. The Green Studies Reader goes some way towards remedying these 'faults'. While it is still firmly focussed on Anglo-American literature, (and film), it includes significant readings from key French and German thinkers.

This book is an important, even crucial, read for anyone interested in the ways in which planetary life might at last take 'its rightful place at the centre of that discipline which we might still call, though with appropriate hesitation, the humanities' (Introduction).

Each community in Alaska could easily fill a volume this size with descriptions of the recreational opportunities in the area. This book does a decent job boiling those opportunities down to just a few in each region. This book covers the Kenai Peninsula and Anchorage area fairly well. It does not do Southeast Alaska justice though. (But I'm biased since I live there!) Instead of planning a trip around this book I would recommend contacting individual communities to get copies of any trail guides they have available.

Somehow this book captures the stubbornness and imagination of a small child pretending to drive. They say it's out of print? That's terribly sad. Georgina should be a classic.

Ignoring the editing errors, I learned a great deal. I was really nervous with picking a programming language book, and the VBA book made learning programming easy. I hope that they can get past the major typo's in the next edition.

This was the first-ever totally computer generated comic graphic novel, and it was done in the late 80s when computer technology was a piddly fraction of what it is today. One must be aware of this going in, or you'll be a bit disappointed. Nevertheless, technology lovers will salivate at the copious amount of tech talk between its pages. The premise is as follows: an aged Tony Stark is about to sell some of his most prized inventions to a Japanese competitor, against the wishes of one Nick Fury and SHIELD. Fury's concerns turn out to be valid, and Stark-Iron Man, along with a robotic Iron Man, set out to make things right. Unfortunately, the bad guys' contingency plan results in the robotic armor gaining sentience (current Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada must've gotten ideas from this), and Stark has no choice but to let it be free. Leaves the door open for a sequel....?

I absolutely enjoyed reading the book however the publisher failed to perform well. (Book 10, Publisher -2) The Knowing intrigues one to look within his/her self to (re-)evaluate what we know and what we *think* we know

At the close of the previous volume, 'Lay Down with Lions,' Thea Ghandour had just thrown the Heart of Osiris out of a window on the 73rd story of the Sears Tower, enabling her and Jake, the other surviving member of her team, to escape. When the Heart (and the vampire that jumped out after it) lands on top of a parking garage, it interrupts a struggle between Carpenter (the gangster zombie), and Nicholas Sforza-Ankhotep (the gangster mummy) were trying to kill each other. Two crashes later, Carpenter manages to grab the Heart and run off. The curtain descends on a furious Nicholas.

This volume, 'The Land of the Dead' opens with Nicholas' return to Egypt. For those of us who are not well acquainted with the mummies of the World of Darkness this turns out to be an education. After a quick aside while Nicholas carries out the gratuitous slaughter of the entire lair of an Egyptian vampire. This reestablishes for us that Sforza-Ankhotep as a creature to be reckoned with, since his performance against Carpenter was utterly lackluster. Then we are off to the Mummy hideaway beneath the Cities of the Dead in Cairo. Here we are given far more information than is usual for White Wolf about immortal mummies. Compared to a lot of the vampires, this is genuinely interesting.

Now the story the shifts back to Thea and her friend Jake. They are trying to figure out what they can do about Thea's roommate, Margie, who is temporarily a basket case. This is difficult since every vampire in Chicago is avidly hunting for them. They, in turn, are hunting for Carpenter, who betrayed the hunter team. Computer whiz Jake manages to discover that Carpenter has apparently left for Egypt. Thea convinces the vampires the Margie is dead and returns her to her folks for safe keeping. Then Jake and Thea head for Egypt, broke, but determined to kick zombie.

Carpenter is indeed heading for Egypt. He is convinced that he can use the Heart to gain immortality, a considerable improvement over being an undying zombie that is having trouble staying together in one piece. Equipped with his magic hammer and knife, and the Heart of Osiris, Carpenter manages to keep together and begins to mount his attack on the mysteries of ancient Egypt. With everyone having some sort of psychic connection with everyone else this is a recipe for a series of titanic collisions. Not the least of which is a major disaster at Port Said. If the reader is looking for a lot of violent action, he (or she) has come to the right place,

It is something of a shame that this series came out in what is otherwise White Wolf's worst year as a fiction publisher. Andrew Bates is an interesting, if purely plot oriented writer who deserves better than what has recently been done in for the World of Darkness. Hopefully he is the sign of a revival of the energies what once inhabited the produces of this game publisher, and just their last, undying gasp.
