I am an author and publisher, and MONKEY PUDDING is a novel I would have RUN to publish ASAP, even if it would mean cranking up the presses at midnight! Well written, gritty, full of surprises, MONKEY PUDDING is a Vietnam war story with vivid combat scenes, and its just as heart-wrenching after-effects upon its protagonist, Lieutenant Steve Simmons. He returns home after discharge from the US Army, and has to wage yet another war, a war just as profound, a war of rebuilding his life up from the very bottom of hell. This book's style is no-nonsense, straightforward, like a fast-flowing river, and reads like a biography with no holds barred. No wonder, though, for Author Jerold B. Pozner's own odyssey began when he was born in New York City, the day the stock market crashed. He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and was stationed in Germany. With his military experience, this prompted him to write a novel with a war background and he turned his attention to the Vietnam War Era, writing Monkey Pudding. The screenplay version he adapted from this novel has won various awards in several national screenplay contests. Here is to seeing Lieutenant Steve Simmons, live in vivid color, upon the big screen!..

Aftermath I: The Fight for Survival [book] by Craig Walker

Date Added: Wednesday 09 April, 2008

Aftermath I is a great read. If you are an aviation buff or a vet you'll enjoy following Skip fight for his country after an asteroid strikes the Earth and terrorists make a move to take over world. I'm anxiously awaiting Aftermath II...

Aftermath I: The Fight for Survival [book] by Jesse Libassi

Date Added: Wednesday 09 April, 2008

It's the Aftermath of a comet's collision with earth. The disaster occurs right where I like them - in the beginning chapters. The rest of the story is peppered with high-tech dogfights between terrorists and a motley crew of volunteer heroes. The enlisted and civilian air defense team face the Middle East antagonists in the midst of violent dust storms and scarce rations. When they get an occasional breather, you discover real humans that laugh, cry and love like there's no tomorrow. In their situation, there may not be. Not an aircraft enthusiast myself, Aftermath 1 was still an easy read, but sky-jocks will get off on the accurate descriptions of fighter jets and modern weaponry...

Aftermath I: The Fight for Survival [book] by Charles Pearman

Date Added: Wednesday 09 April, 2008

Having been the first person to edit this book for Jim, I give it an excellent review. Having worked with Jim for about seven years, I know the amount of sweat and work he put into this novel. Both of us have worked in Tucson where a great bit of the action takes place. I passed by this bone yard everyday on the way to work and found myself getting into the book so much that I felt I was actually in it. Jim is a dedicated person and can become greatly involved in anything that interests him. I look forward to more of his work. Aftermath I and II are good examples of what he is capable of producing...

Aftermath I: The Fight for Survival [book] by Jerry S.

Date Added: Wednesday 09 April, 2008

A suspenseful, easy reading book. The storyline was very entertaining and not so far-fetched that it couldn't happen and end life as we know it today. Some of the scenes were so well written that I was sorry they ended. Some of the scenes were a little lacking in detail, but not so prevalent that you should not read this book. If you like action and know a little about military hardware then this book if for you...

The Soul Cages [book] by John Harrington Burns

Date Added: Wednesday 09 April, 2008

In The Soul Cages Nicole Kurtz has created a world of intriguing dark dimensions that lures the reader into the wars of good vs evil. That is the premise of all science fiction creations, however, the author brings to this genre a humanness that is rarely found in adventures of the surreal and life among the inhabitants of the stars in outer space. The affection between the sisters is touching. Well done, Nicole, you've created a world any reader with an adventurous imagination should explore...
