Stark's Command
Published in Mass Market Paperback by Ace Books (03 April, 2001)
Author: John G. Hemry
Average review score:

The Sargeant's in command now?
Now that Sergeant Stark has successfully mutinied and 'his' army is free, there are still some unsolved problems. What will he do with all the officers now in the brig that are consuming food, water, and air (all limited commodities on the moon)? What is he going to do with all the "civs" that are getting closer to a panic as time goes on not knowing what the "mils" are up to? How is the 'his' army going to continue as a combat effective unit without officers? However, the answer to the last question seems to be the first one where an answer is determined, because the 'Enemy' Multinationals have just begun a major assault, and Stark's front line is crumbling . . . This one is good. A little more character development from the first book (Stark's War), and the 'moon rebellion' that Stark unintentionally started begins to expand.

An even greater purpose.
Wow, in this book (#2 of 3) Stark not only deals in combat but in diplomacy, and government building. These future Americans begin to question the state of their homeland and what they must do to fix it or seperate from it.

As the action expanded we learned of the "civs" on the moon, the US Navy, the enemy, the free enterprise of rogue merchants and the drastic state of the US after the events of the first book.

I toyed with the idea after the first book, but I am sure the world Hemry creates in his writings, would make a great role-playing campaign. Whether you rpg or not, if you like fast passed reading about regular people doing extraordinary things, in military or scifi settings, then this book is for you.

Better than Stark's War, and I can't wait to see the 3rd book (Stark's Crusade?).

Great book, better than 'Stark's War'
When I first bought 'Stark's War', I didn't read much of it. I wasn't interested at the time. Recently, I came back, and read the whole thing from cover-to-cover. I was thrilled. It was great.

Going through the aisles of my local bookstore the other day, I saw this book. I didn't even know there was going to be a sequel! I bought it immediately, went directly home, and read the book until I finished it, at about 2AM.

It was a great book! Even better than the first. I loved it. It didn't have that "I am invincible! Rarrgh!" theme from the main characters as lots of novels do, either. I thought it was a great yarn, if a very unrealistic view on the future...

... Well, I hope so, anyway.

I definately recommend buying this book. Don't forget to read 'Stark's War' first, to get the whole story. It'll read a lot better that way, and the story'll be cooler.


Admiral Harold R. Stark: Architect of Victory, 1939-1945 (Studies in Maritime History)
Published in Hardcover by University of South Carolina Press (May, 1989)
Authors: B. Mitchell Simpson and William N. Still
Average review score:

Admiral Harold R. Stark : Architect of Victory, 1939-1945
There was curiosity in the air in the Navy in 1939 on who President Roosevelt was going to choose as the next Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) to succeed Admiral William D.Leahy. Roosevlt met with an assortment of head officer's abroad the USS Houston in the Caribbean before making his decision. After Roosevelt returned to Washington he made the announcement that Rear Admiral Harold R. Stark was to be the next (CNO). Stark was completely surprised by this, especially when there were over 50 admirals senior to him. Stark`s appointment did not cause bitterness in any of the senior officers, because Stark was well known, and regarded as a good likeable person. It was said that Roosevelt met Stark for the first time in 1914 aboard the USS Patterson, when Stark was a Lieutenant ordered to take Roosevelt, then Assistant Secretary of the Navy, to his summer home. The trip itself must have sparked something because Roosevelt immediately became fond of Stark, which might have played a part in the Presidents decision in 1939. After Stark`s appointment he quickly realized the challenge that was before him, he accepted the challenge with his head up and determined to do the best job he could. But Stark`s term as (CNO) was hit with many hardships, the hardest would be his being at fault for not being ready when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. Admiral Stark`s life, especially the fruits of his hard work, would have been locked away forever in the military archives of history if it weren't for the endless work of B. Mitchell Simpson III resulting in his book, Admiral Harold R. Stark: Architect of Victory, 1939-1945. B. Mitchell Simpson III (1932-) spent 20 years researching the life of Admiral Stark, focusing on the controversial years of his term a (CNO). Simpson graduated from Colgate University, received an LLB from the University of Pennsylvania and a Ph D in history from the prestigious Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy (Tufts University). Simpson was also a Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy, which fueled in his love of Navy history. Simpson`s other books showing his love of Navy history, the best know being War, Strategy, and Maritime power (1977). Simpson also co-authored with John B. Hattendorf and John R. Wadleigh, Sailors and Scholars: The Central History of the U.S. Naval war College (1989). Simpson's main thesis for the book is to shine a new light on Stark, removing the image of him only being remembered as the "guy" who was at fault for the many deaths of American soldiers at Pearl Harbor. The book starts by jumping right into Stark`s career as (CNO) in 1939, and only gives a very brief summary of Stark`s achievements before 1939 in the Preface. The book goes though a chronology World War II, with every move and almost every thought of Stark`s from before we entered the war until the victory over Japan. The book ends with the U.S. investigations of the top military officers who were in control during the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. Simpson never fails to mention how Stark always had the Japanese on his mind before the attack, and how Stark kept his cool during the grueling questions of the investigations. Many important characters in this book included: President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, General George C. Marshal, and Admiral Ernest J. King were all friends and colleagues of Stark who all worked together in that difficult time in American history. Simpson tries to paint a different picture of Stark by describing in great detail Stark`s Plan Dog memorandum, which helped persuade Congress to fund a two-ocean war. That act was described as one of the most important and strategic documents of World War II. Simpson also goes into great detail about Stark`s work during the war instigating the BAC-1 conversations in 1941, being responsible for training and supporting the naval units involved in the 1944 Normandy invasion, and acting as an ambassador to Charles de Gaulle throughout most of the war. Simpson fails to capture the true essence of a complete biography by mostly writing about Stark's term as (CNO) till his retirement. Simpson's writing points more toward the good of Stark`s administration than writing about any of the bad, which gives the reader the feeling that Simpson's sympathizing with Stark rather than just writing about his life. Many history reviewers agree that the downfall of this book is Simpson trying to clear Stark of blame for the attack on Pearl Harbor. A positive for the book is the accurate events of naval history and behind the scene accounts during the war. This makes the book highly recommended for college, university, and public libraries. Although Stark did his part throughout the war, he was not the Architect of Victory that Simpson states in the title.

He is a special man!
Harold R. Stark was my great uncle. It means so much to me that I have the honor to be related so closely with a man that is so special. He was a wonderful person. He even has a great ship named after him. Unfortunatly, the ship was hit by a missle from Iraq or Iran a couple of days ago. I will forever admire my great uncle because of his courage and bravery. He has been thanked for his duties with the honor of being baried in the Washington National Cemetery along with his wife.


The Book of Priestcraft: Credits (Accessory)
Published in Paperback by TSR Hobbies (July, 1998)
Authors: Richard Baker, Dale Donovan, Duane Maxwell, Ed Stark, Anne Brown, and TSR Inc
Average review score:

Interesting
Hmm, I never realized that TSR killed off this line of acessories. As far as I know, it is no more than two years old, and it's still fully viable on the webs ( heck, even Amazon carries a large selection of all things Birthright!). Nevertheless, Birthright is a unique setting, and it can be easily enjoyed. This book is a very good work on the nature of priestcraft in the world where this campaign is set ( and if it IS killed off, I advise you to get it quickly - out of print products don't linger too long on this site). It is also a very good work of AD&D priestcraft in general, and although it isn't as likely to help players as it will help DMs, but take my word - this book will ease the life of DMs immensely (remember that player whose priest would constantly stop to cast healing spells on everyone? Well, this book will stop that overconfident character dead in his tracks...)

Grab this before it's gone!!!
TSR's only misstep since its revitalization is cancellation of the Birthright line. This book details the religions and priests of Cerilia, and is a very good supplement. Why more people didn't get into Birthright and keep the line alive is a mystery to me.


Crosswords Challenge
Published in Paperback by Running Press (April, 1997)
Authors: Daniel Stark and Roslyn Stark
Average review score:

Among the best for puzzle fans.
Crossword puzzles in this series are some of my mom's favorites.

They are wire-bound, making it easier to lay them flat and get down to business. But she would prefer they be laid out on single pages, and have larger type.

The puzzles are challenging without being overwhelming. These are roughly comparable to those found in the NY Times and LA Times, in both level of difficulty and in their design.

A pretty safe bet for fans, but no 5th star for the reasons above.

What's a five-letter word for five stars?
This series is easy to read and laid out conveniently. The puzzles are challenging without being insane. These are my mom's current favorites, and I would recommend them to fans of the crossword puzzles appearing in the NY Times or LA Times.

Guardian Angels - God's Accessible Kingdom
Published in Mass Market Paperback by Osage Associates (15 October, 1994)
Author: Debra Starks Taylor
Average review score:

clarity found!
I feel this book allows the reader to access all the synchronicity that has been experienced but with a new awareness. Debbie Taylor writes concisely and warmly-

Would Highly Reccommend this Book
This book contains information and practice technique for listening to and hearing messages from your own Guardian Angels and Guides. All of us have Guides and Guardian Angels if we would just apply the information in Debra Starks book, we can receive their guidance and help on a regular basis. After reading Debra's book and putting to practice the techniques in the book, I find that when I quiet my mind and spirit I can receive the guidance from my Guardian Angels. Even at a busy time their guidance and messages come through now, or I should say I hear them now. I would highly reccommend this book for eveyone. It will bring you insight and access to the devine guidance that has always been available to you if you just open up and make yourself aware of it. This book can make that happen for you.

Easy Read and Informative
This slim book has been thoughtfully crafted with love and respect for all religions. The author, Ms Taylor, helped me see why it's totally authentic for most people to communicate with God's messengers.

I saw an instructional video by the author that aired on local television. She is obviously committed to the spiritual clarity she so aptly discusses in her book.

Ms. Taylor addresses readers' doubts and skepticism. She offers an articulate, down-to-earth approach to understanding the human capacity to converse with angels. She clarifies benefits of angel cummunication. She gives a detailed checklist for how to select a good channel.

The book helped put me at ease regarding all the negative press given channeling. Coming from a religious background, I was worried about how a person can avoid channeling evil beings. Ms Taylor gives detailed guidance about appropriate ways to assure you channel only your angels. It helped me see the universality and value in speaking to my angels myself.


The Mourner
Published in Hardcover by Allison & Busby (October, 1990)
Author: Richard Stark
Average review score:

Parker's Back!
I have to say that the folks at Mysterious Press have been makingme a happy man ever since they, along with Richard Stark (whose softer side is Donald Westlake), decided to bring back the greatest hardboiled series character of them all, Parker. What it appears they are doing is re-releasing an original Parker novel which is then followed by an all new Parker novel. For instance, this November will see the release of THE SCORE (old) in paperback and an all new parker in hardcover. As well as the release of FLASHFIRE (new) in the paperback edition. This is wonderful! On to THE MOURNER. This is not my favortie in the series by any means, but it is still a quick, harddboiled tale of double-crosses and revenge. in other words, precisely what you want from one of Stark's Parker novels! You will not be disappointed. Buy all the Stark books you can get your hands on because, believe me, one Parker novel and you will be hooked but good!

Parker's Cold War
This time around, instead of the Big Caper, we get a revenge yarn . Parker is caught in the usual doublecross while lifting a statue from the home of an Eastern European diplomat. When he and Handy McKay are left for dead, it's up to Parker to recover the loot and exact revenge. Although this would be an excellent book from any other writer, it's a bit of a letdown from Stark/Westlake.

Read this Book! Don't Mourn It!
As a mystery writer with my debut novel in its initial release, I read just about everything Richard Stark writes. His Parker is as tough as any contemporary protagonist comes, and THE MOURNER is among Stark's best books. It is exactly what you would expect from Stark and Parker. Read it today or even sooner!


So red the rose
Published in Unknown Binding by ()
Author: Stark Young
Average review score:

How True the Fiction
A most enjoyable, fictional, historical account of life in the South during and after the Civil War. Enough truth to make it very believable and the author's descriptive terminology places you in with the characters so that you become very involved with the story personally. A lot of history is learned about Civil War military blunders that certainly effected the outcome of the war. I can understand why they made a movie of this book. It would be a good one to bring back as TV miniseries.

Very engaging look into the culture of the antebellum South.
"So Red the Rose" is a very engaging tale that affords the reader an insight into the culture and attitudes of the antebellum South that became the Confederacy. However, my fellow McGehee descendants (the author was a cousin of actual McGehees in Mississippi) need to bear in mind as they read that this is a NOVEL, not a genealogical register or an entirely true family history.

Classic Civil War novel from the Southern point of view
So Red the Rose is a classic fictional account of the Civil War years from the Southern point of view by one of the leading writers of the so-called Southern Renaissance of the first half of the 20th Century. Stark Young grew up among the kind of people with whom he populates his novel, and his novel focuses on what he called "the life of the affections."

So Red the Rose was a best-seller in he 1930's and was made into a movie. Its popularity was eclipsed a few years after its publication by Gone With the Wind. Some critics consider So Red the Rose a better book.

The novel describes a Mississippi family and how they were affected by the war. I found the book deeply moving and engrossing; although I live in a different century, live in a different part of the country than the characters, and hold a different set of values in regard to race, I found myself understanding them, relating to them, and liking them.
