Official Apex Reviews Rating: Five Stars Reviewed By Renee Washburn "Taut, engaging, and supremely well written, The Raven Affair is a superb instant classic. With more than its fair share of break-neck action and mind-numbing suspense, author Steven Nedelton's compelling thriller is a fast-paced page turner, the literary equivalent of such silver screen jewels as the Bourne series. The Raven Affair is a bona fide literary thrill ride guaranteed not to disappoint. Highly recommended." [mehr]

Eldredge was born in Buffalo, New York. He appears to have self-published at least two books on the local history of San Francisco, California. His two-volume history of San Francisco was reviewed as containing "fairly readable essays" that were "distributed somewhat capriciously between text and notes". The reviewer also notes that "the author has not by any means confined himself to the subject" described by the book's title. [mehr]

Ankur Mutreja Sparks: Satire and Reviews

This book is an alternative representation of my thoughts, which have been presented more comprehensively in another of my books Writings @ Ankur Mutreja. I felt the need to publish this book separately to cater to the needs of those readers who don’t have much time to read books. The book is indeed a light reading. The book starts with the chapter entitled Satire, which, as the name suggests, comprises pointed attacks on the societal idiosyncrasies and hypocrisies, albeit mockingly. In the following chapter on Travel Locales, I have reviewed four disparate locations in India, attractive for their own unique appeals: Puducherry, Shillong, Auroville and Agartala. Next is the chapter on Movie Reviews & More. In the past few years, Hindi Cinema or Bollywood has seen many huge revenue collectors competing with the creativities – I don’t think the creativities need to compete with anybody. Only one huge revenue collector Ek Tha Tiger finds place in my list of reviews. I don’t like publishing my frustrations; therefore, if I have written a negative review, the movie must be really pathetic: Love, Sex and Dhoka. Other movies reviewed: Satyagraha, Raanjhana, Table No. 21, OMG, Mod, Udaan and Welcome to Sajjanpur. Other than that I have also reviewed a website, Flattr.com, and an architectural structure, Antilla: the Residence of Ambanis, in this chapter. Finally, the chapter on Book Reviews comprises my reviews of three books: Bhagwat Gita, Swaraj by Arvind Kejriwal, and An Ordinary Person’s Guide to Empire by Arundhati Roy. Enjoy Reading!

Marie Manning Judith Of The Plains

So this is #71 in a series of early westerns (1880-1915) I’ve reviewed here at BITS over the past two years. To a list that started out with mostly male writers, I’ve been finding and adding numerous more women writers. When the whole list is accounted for, they will make up about one-third of it. The single illustration from Marie Manning’s Judith of the Plains (right) would suggest that it’s another romance, but she’s got a lot more on her mind than that. Depending on how you count, there are two main plots and parts of at least two others. They overlap somewhat, though each has its own emotional center. [mehr]

Joseph Rocchietti was an Italian-American novelist. A native of Casale Monferrato in Piedmont, he emigrated to the United States in 1831. He was active as a writer there during the years 1835–1875 and is best known for Lorenzo and Oonalaska (1835), which is the earliest known novel by an Italian-American. This epistolary novel, a love story written in English, is set partly in Europe and partly in Virginia. He also published a number of long essays including one against the Massachusetts ‘nativist’ movement which was reviewed by Edgar Allan Poe in Poe's Broadway Journal. [mehr]

As He Waited For His Breakfast, Never Served To Time, Mr. Lashmar Drummed Upon The Window-Pane, And Seemed To Watch A Blackbird Lunching With Much Gusto About The Moist Lawn Of Alverholme Vicarage. But His Gaze Was Absent And Worried. The Countenance Of The Reverend Gentleman Rarely Wore Any Other Expression, For He Took To Heart All Human Miseries And Follies, And Lived In A Ceaseless Mild Indignation Against The Tenor Of The Age. Inwardly, Mr. Lashmar Was At This Moment Rather Pleased, Having Come Upon An Article In His Weekly Paper Which Reviewed In A Very Depressing Strain The Present Aspect Of English Life. He Felt That He Might Have, And Ought To Have, Written The Article Himself A Loss Of Opportunity Which Gave New Matter For Discontent. [mehr]
