Foster من عند Tricesimo UD, إيطاليا من عند Tricesimo UD, إيطاليا

An interesting premise that became that much better the more you understood it and thought about it (I thought a much more conventional sci fi explanation would come into play -- but it's mind games -- not so much sci fi, but psych fi). But the "mystery"/noir plot never quite got off the ground for me -- too much exposition, too many cliches, too many names thrown around that end up not mattering much. I liked the world, I just didn't particularly care about what we were doing there.

Great historical book. The hunt for the Bismarck is the topic of many books, movies and song. One knows how it ends, but the speeches, political stances of the military, the interest in the hunt at that time and other occurances that are not discribed in most history books make it a very interesting read. It is an easy read and worth the time.

even though i'm a baseball fan, i don't necessarily usually read about it, but this book blew my mind. it definitely made me more of an a's fan, second to the giants (whose gm could really stand to read this book and take notes...).
