Scott Sigler Does It Again!.......2007-09-27
I found the book to be exciting and fun to read. It's a real page turner. I am looking forward to Scott's next book.
GNARLY FUN!.......2007-09-13
Scott Sigler's writing is fast, fun and furious. This book is a quick read and left me wanting more. This isn't your typical "gore-fest" horror novel. Sigler takes a unique subject and injects enough tech stuff without it tripping all over itself. I've read too many books where the author spends way too much time trying to explain the technical jargon that the story gets lost. Sometimes you just got to believe that the stuff, no matter how far-fetched, can really happen.
I really hope to hear more from Scott. I'm officially a "Junkie!" Besides, with a name like Scott, he's bound to be huge!
Genetic engineering, monsters and action.......2007-09-11
A terrific "genetic engineering gone horribly wrong" (Frankenstein) story, with wonderful monsters, interesting characters and good villains. This book is non-stop action, but has characters you care about. Excellent.
Retro adventure.......2007-09-07
It's been a while since I have read a "corporate-greed-leads-to-mutant-disaster" style book. This one for me, was a better one of that genre. While the plotting, dialogue and characters fulilled the time honored dances of the genre, it was done with sophistication and depth. My rating? Four stars for what it is!
The First Book I Every Threw Away.......2007-08-24
I got about half way through and had to throw this book away. I found the depiction of women in this novel to be offensive. ALL of the women are cheaters or socially and morally inept. I'm Not sure why it's necessary to make the women so fundamentally flawed. Also, all the men - at one time or another - referred to women as "bit**."
The dialog seemed artificial and unrealistic. For example, different characters commonly used the same phrases ("bit**"); and the narration would suddenly shift from calm to frantic.
There sure were a lot of BIG men in this book. Not sure why so many BIG men.
This is one of the worst books I have ever read.

All of us, from birth onward, learn by emulating others. Yet when it comes to our professional lives, we often forget that what we see, we imitate, and what we imitate, we become. This is obviously a positive thing for those who have found successful, encouraging mentors in their fields, but finding those mentors is still much easier for men than for women. In Be Your Own Mentor, Sheila Wellington seeks to provide women not only with advice on locating appropriate mentors, but with the tools to mentor themselves and the opinions, advice, and encouragement of women leaders worth emulating.
Wellington speaks from a broad range of experience. Having spent 20 years working in public health and one term as the first female Secretary of Yale University, she now serves as the president of Catalyst, a nonprofit research organization that works to advance women in business. Catalyst has conducted numerous interviews, surveys, and focus groups on the subject of women succeeding and excelling in their professional lives, and the results of much of that research is included here. CEOs from industry and the nonprofit world, law-firm partners, university presidents, and senior consultants all add their two cents' worth (or more like six figures' worth) to Wellington's observations on everything from planning your career and avoiding being boxed in to learning how to network efficiently and successfully integrate your work life with your home life.
Be Your Own Mentor is jam-packed with informative statistics, useful suggestions, and encouraging reminders--almost to the point of overload. With so many "voices" and so many topics covered, it's easy to feel a little overwhelmed. Despite this organizational drawback, however, this book is a useful tool for women, especially those just starting out. And for the avid emulator, who better to learn from than the likes of Zoe Baird, respected lawyer and president of the Markle Foundation; Betty Beene, president and CEO of United Way of America; Ellen Hancock, chairman and CEO of Exodus Communications; and Anne Mulcahy, president and COO of Xerox Corporation? On that note, the appendix, which provides career-path profiles of each of the pioneers quoted, is one of the most interesting sections of the book. --S. Ketchum
Book Description
Surprising secrets of success from some of America's women leaders; all the things a mentor would tell you are revealed in this mentor-in-a-book. Sheila Wellington, the president of Catalyst, draws on Catalyst research, contacts, and know-how to tell you how to understand the unspoken rules in the real world of work today and how to get ahead.
Catalyst studies reveal that having a mentor is the crucial key to success at work, and it's the single advantage men usually have, and women usually don't. Even at the best organizations for women, there is still a shortage of mentors.
Be Your Own Mentor becomes that mentor for you, providing through stories and eye-opening advice a step-by-step guide to advancement. How to master the art of networking, how to create opportunities to gain experience and visibility, how to manage time, how to negotiate salary, and much, much more is discussed, as you learn from leading women how they got where they are, the mistakes they feel they've made along the way, and how they created lives of achievement and satisfaction. Hear from women such as Carly Fiorina (CEO, Hewlett-Packard), Cathleen Black (president, Hearst Magazines), Judith Rodin (president, University of Pennsylvania), and Andrea Jung (president and CEO, Avon). From that first resume all the way to the CEO's office, Be Your Own Mentor guides you along your path to success.
Be Your Own Mentor gives advice from top women on how to:
Devise a short-term and long-term career strategy
Gain visibility in the workplace and in your field
Create opportunities to gain valuable experience
Change your career path
Negotiate salary
Balance work and family
And much, much more...

Advice Helpful to Women at All Stages of Career.......2001-09-24
I bought the book "Be Your Own Mentor" during a transitional time in my career. The advice offered has provided me with many great ideas on advancing my career. I thought the get ahead basics were especially helpful. As I was looking for a new position, the job search advice helped me to form opinions on how this new position could be a stepping stone to my future. It urged me to take a look at my career as a progression of jobs on my resume. Additionally, Sheila Wllington offered advice that I had not read in traditional job search books. I think this book is helpful to women at all stages of their career whether just starting out or ready for a mid-career change. If you think you need some advice from successful women and need some ideas on how to further your career I highly recommend this book.
A must read for women in business.......2001-07-31
I wish this book had been around when I was just starting out in business. I would be a lot better off today if I had gotten the great advice it gives out. Much of the writing is based on research done at Catalyst, so is fact-based. Shelia Wellington uses her vast experience and connections to give a road map for success for women in the business world. Many nuggets of advice from women who have reached the highest levels in their careers. A must read.
Put "personal publicity" on your mentoring agenda!.......2001-05-18
Being your own mentor is a critical concept and certainly includes mastering the art of networking. But a good self-mentoring plan must also include achieving corporate and community visibility. To really take charge of your career there is no substitute for creating a strategic 'personal' publicity plan. Your boss won't do it, and neither will your mentor. It is up to YOU. People have to know who you are, what you stand for, and why they should hire you, promote you, or do business with you. That's really taking charge of your career.
How To Get To The Top!.......2001-03-10
I wish I'd had Be Your Own Mentor years ago. It's chock-full of what to do when you're trying to get ahead at work, with do's and don'ts I've not heard anywhere else. It explains the kinds of jobs that will take you to the top and tells you which won't. And something else it does that you can't get elsewhere: women at the top (like Carly Fiorina of Hewlett Packard) tell you what to do when specific problems arise at work -- like how to land an assignment you want, or what to do when you meet bias, or how to get people who can help you on your side. Includes useful tips on building credibility and taking charge of how you're perceived, or for getting out of a dead end situation with a difficult boss, plus sensible advice about dealing with guilt as you're balancing personal life and work. You gain access to many wise women -- the older sisters everyone needs, who genuinely want to help you reach your goals. My son says most of the career tips will work for him, too, but women especially can use this practical, smart advice book by Spence and Wellington all through their careers.
Wonderful quotes.......2001-03-05
This is an interesting book, perfect for people just out of school or in the first 2-3 years of a career. The advice in the book is solid, and the quotes from the pioneer women are especially interesting and informative. It is refreshing to hear their perspectives, and they provide wonderful information, ideas, and a sense of sisterhood.
My main complaint about the book is there is no new information or anything groundbreaking. Most of the author's ideas are obvious, and she should let the pioneer women speak some more.
Overall, I would recommend this book to young women just starting out who are not quite sure what to expect or if they are on the right track. The pioneer quotes are worth the price of the book.
Book Description
It's one month after a global disaster. The most "developed" nations of the world have fallen to the shambling zombie masses. Only a few pockets of humanity survive — in places rife with high-powered weaponry, such as Somalia.
In New York City, the dead walk the streets, driven by an insatiable hunger for all things living. One amongst them is different; though he shares their appetites he has retained his human intelligence. Alone among the mindless zombies, Gary Fleck is an eyewitness to the end of the world — and perhaps the evil genius behind it all.
From the other side of the planet, a small but heavily-armed group of schoolgirls-turned-soldiers has come in search of desperately needed medicine. Dekalb, a former United Nations weapons inspector, leads them as their local guide. Ayaan, a crack shot at the age of sixteen, will stop at nothing to complete her mission. They think they are prepared for anything. On Monster Island they will find that there is something worse even than being undead, as Gary learns the true price of survival.

Zombie love........2007-10-09
Look I'm not going to claim this is high art or anything, but if you enjoy the zombie genre you probably won't be disappointed by this book. I do, and I wasn't.
The premise was great and a slightly fresh take on the zombie scenario. My only complaint was probably with the two zombie characters. I don't know. I just wasn't interested in that part of the plot and probably would have enjoyed the story more without that. Oh well.
Good Read.......2007-10-05
David Wellington brings a new twist to the zombie genre with Monster Island. The world is overrun, old third world nations are now the world powers, and one of these powers has the bold idea to get the medicine it desperately needs out of a dead NYC.
Unfortunately, the unit dispatched to get the medicine soon finds out there are things worse than the mindless undead.
Amazing Zombie epic pray for more!.......2007-09-29
Great new take on zombie apoclyspe. truly amazing, nothing sort of one of the best horror books of the decade!
Excellent, unique twist on the zombie genre.......2007-09-18
I read a lot of books, including a great number of "volume one"s - the first in a trilogy, the first in a series and so forth. In many of those cases, I never make it to volume two. In many of the others, I make a note to pick up the second volume "sooner or later." This is one of those rare cases where I want to rush right out and get the next book, because I'm dying to see what happens next.
At first blush, this seems to be a typical zombie novel. A plague of the undead has overrun the Earth and there seems to be no hope, let alone a cure. Dekalb, a former UN weapons inspector, agrees to go to New York to try to find a supply of HIV drugs for a Somalian warrior woman, in exchange for the safety of his daughter. What Dekalb doesn't count on is Gary, a former doctor who theorizes that the reason the Undead are mindless beasts is because their brains starve from lack of oxygen between the time they die and the time they rise - and he thinks he's found a way to beat it. While Dekalb's mission remainds somewhat single-minded, Gary finds himself growing more and more horrific and bloodthirsty as the book progresses, with his goals changing as he learns more about the Undead and the world he has ushered himself into.
David Wellington has found a wonderful new twist on the zombie novel. It's not just "man against the walking dead" like so many of the stories are - instead he digs deeper to reveal an underlying evil that makes the zombie plague seem innocent by comparison. It feels like a Stephen King sort of twist, only with a much more solid ending, even for the first volume of a trilogy. While the book as a whole is very energetic and exciting, it's the ending that makes me want to run out for book two, Monster Nation. I've got to see just where Wellington plans on taking this.
Zombie novel or Night at the museum???.......2007-09-17
This book felt more like, "a night at the museum", than a zombie book. It starts out great with real mystery surrounding the Gary character, then it unravels in such an absurd way that it becomes a mockery of the genre. i could care less about mummies, and if I had any idea that they were in this book, I wouldn't have bought it. The other 2 of the trilogy sound equally as absurd...

Book Description
In the heart of America, in the world’s most secure prison, something horrible is growing in the dark. A wave of cannibalism and fear is sweeping across the heartland, spreading carnage and infection in its wake. Captain Bannerman Clark of the National Guard has been tasked with an impossible mission: discover what is happening — and then stop it before it annihilates Los Angeles.
In California, he discovers a woman trapped in a hospital overrun with violent madmen. She may hold the secret to the Epidemic but she has lost everything — even her name.
David Wellington’s first novel, Monster Island, explored a world overcome by horror and the few people strong enough to survive. Now he takes us back in time to where it all began — to the day the dead began to rise.

JUst as good if not better than Monster Island!.......2007-09-29
This second book in the trilogy takes us back to when the dead began to rise, truly great story telling and truly horrifying!!! Bring on Monster Planet!!
Enjoyable pulp, bad research.......2007-09-19
I really enjoyed Monster Nation - it was great light reading for a long airplane ride. The author is a talented wordsmith and creates interesting scenarios that appeal; I have a thing for zombie movies and Monster Nation would probably make a good one.
I did have some issues with the poor research though. Monster Nation is all about what would happen if the U.S. was overrun by zombies and focuses a lot on the military response to such an event taking place. However, the author clearly didn't talk to anyone in the military when he wrote the novel. Majors do not salute Captains. The Beretta M9 is not generally held to be a major improvement over the 1911 it replaced. Etc, ad infinitum. For me, as a soldier, the suspension of disbelief was mitigated by the obvious lack of military knowledge.
I'll probably pick up another of the Monster series though, because David Wellington is a good character developer. Monster Nation kept me glued to the pages wanting to find out how things would turn out. In the end, I felt it was all a little hokey but still highly enjoyable.
Bought it, read it, returned it.......2007-07-15
There are some things to like about this book... and a lot to not like. Basic things. Some of the other reviewers have already covered some of it:
- Military detail. I could go on and on but some of the more egregious errors are: there are no 35-year veteran 61-year old Captains, in the National Guard or elsewhere... There is a thing called the "up or out rule;" people don't "come to attention and salute" as it is portrayed... that's like something out of a bad movie; and CSM's are not Platoon Sergeants, nor are they referred to as "Chief." Chain of command... Captains don't report directly to Generals or to DOD officials. National Guard response doesn't cross state boundaries unless it is requested by the state in need of support. I could go on and on, but you get the point.
- Needless mysticism. Without spoiling the plot, one of the characters is guided by what seems at first to be an Indian Spirit Guide, only to later be revealed as some sort of Druid. But to no real end... he's neither a causal character nor is he a solution. The same with a character who is "psychic"... They're just some sort of dei ex machina... and distracting ones. I wonder if the author inserted them as mechanisms to work himself out of dead ends that would otherwise collapse of their own internal contradictions.
- Needlessly perverse senior officials. Both the Colorado Adjutant General and the DOD official should be key characters, not a lowly Captain. It could be a plot component for them to be incompetent or even corrupt, but their incompetence (CO Adjutant General) and perversity (DOD official) are unnecessary, as if it's de rigeur for senior officials to be bad guys without any sort of explanation, reason, or point of contribution to the plot.
- Unlikely exercise of authority by FEMA. He gets some of this right... emergency response was regularized and streamlined after 9-11, and that would have been an interesting part of the story if it had been done well. But FEMA doesn't decide anything... they just show up and support the state or local officials who do the deciding. If a national-scale disaster occurs (such as this surely is), then a "lead Federal Agency" may be appointed, with a "principal Federal Official" in charge, but he doesn't explore any of this, just presenting the bureaucracy as a faceless black box. While this might be excusable if the plot perspective was that of an outsider (i.e. an "everyman" civilian), it is not excusable when one of the main characters is very much an insider and should be intimately involved with the process. At least be familiar with the detail before you write about an organization.
- Universally bad character development. Wellington starts out to flesh out nice three-dimensional characters only to abruptly halt this development short of a complete picture. The gimmicky names are a distraction, too.
Even the stuff to like is a set of dichotomies with some of the things done well crippled by components done poorly. As an example, Wellington explores the response to biological incidents by including USAMRIID (but then undercuts himself by writing off the critically important and internationally-recognized Centers for Disease Control).
With that said, there are some things to like. The basic plot premise is intriguing as a thought experiment into how societies react under unusual or extraordinary circumstances. Science Fiction is particularly useful for this sort of thing; by taking current social issues and extrapolating them by accelerating or accentuating variables, often based in technology. Wellington does include some "cutting edge" components, such as the Civil Support Teams, Stryker Brigades, and the Department of Homeland Security's relationship with local response; unfortunately, there is not enough of it. Even the (WARNING: Plot Spoiler follows!) "mad scientist" at the end is cartoonish and hastily contrived, as if the author got tired of writing and just decided to abruptly end it all. None of the social implications of the technology (or even of the disaster itself) are ever really explored beyond the gory and graphic details of death and mayhem. What is happening in Washington, beyond the dissipation resulting from alluded-to "crisis-fatigue?" What is happening in Las Vegas, where a totalitarian police-state seems to have been established? What is happening in Denver, as it is overwhelmed? He dangles the situations, but never explores them, to the detriment of the plot.
I was waiting for more. It never arrived. The basic premise still remains to be done well... domestic military operating against a pervasive and insidious threat; the response of society to both the threat and the response, the ways decisions are made in such circumstances and why... in the post 9-11 and post-Katrina world all these questions beg answering. It's too bad that Wellington doesn't even get all the questions right, much less the answers. It rates two stars, solely because I did finish it... it wasn't so bad that I stopped reading out of boredom or disgust. It wasn't a keeper, though... nor do I recommend it.
Could have been a great book...but its not........2007-07-07
I'd been thinking of buying this one through Amazon.com for awhile, so when I saw it at a local booksellers, I grabbed it.
First the good. It puts a slightly new spin on the zombie tome of old. The zombies are brought back by (some kind ? ) of magic. One of them, at least, maintains some humanity and the IDEA is well thought out and Could work well.
There are Many basic problems though. First off the pacing makes a 280ish page book read more like six or seven hundred, and not in a good way. Changing PoV from character to character every third paragraph doesn't help either. Then there are the characters...
Nilla, the female lead, is likable and real and in her own way - kind. But she is only partially explored and gets bogged down by various hangers on who are Not particularly likable...and the One that is rides off into the sunset never to be heard from again!
Capt. Bannerman Clark... (And here is an example of how Not to write. Having one character with an unusual first name is great, makes them memorable. Loading down a story with three or four like this loads it down and stretches the ability of disbelief. Short verson, unless you're Stephen King, it won't play off - and it doesn't) But back to Clark: Though the author tries to make him seem like a fully dedicated National Guard Officer, he comes across as DANGEROUSLY idiotic! (A disemboweled man staggers toward him and he still steadfastly denies that the guy in question is, uhm, dead. For the first hundred and some pages in fact, we don't even see "Zombie" but rather despite bones showing through and completely autopsied bodies, this rocket scientist is convinced that he is dealing with live but "infected" (by some disease) people.
Dick is actually one of the more down to earth and likable characters, and he is introduced with a nice amount of backstory...only to be killed and brought back as a mindless pawn of...something. What it is is never really made clear.
I could go on but you get the idea. I gave this book two stars for the idea alone, but kill two hours reading it and it will feel like eight.
Pass unless desperate.
Uneven and silly with very few scares.......2007-06-27
What started out as promising quickly fell into a mystical cross country adventure that felt totally out of place in a zombie story. Wellington creates a realistic world of the undead and then keeps adding more outlandish plot points, completely pulling me out of the story. I don't think I'll be coming back for more.

All You Need to Pass Exam and have Abundant Knowledge.......2006-03-03
After studying in Illinois for two years, well I wouldn't call what I was doing STUDYING, I happened upon this book. I saw the light! It is so clear, user friendly and succinct. I feel that I owe the authors something. As you can see, I've crossed a couple borders over to Ohio. Thank goodness the publishers make many many state editions. Never too much of a good thing. The sixteenth edition of this book comes with a study CD-ROM which is fabulous. If you've "studied" real estate and have yet to pass your exam, just take the quizzes over and over until you achieve 90-100% accuracy. That will be soon and you will blaze through the state exam.

A vanguard presentation of short zombie fiction.......2007-04-23
I'm teaching a class on zombies in literature and film. Film zombies are all too easy to find, but what of literary zombies? The answer to my prayers was this anthology from Permuted Press (which publishes excellent long-form zombie fiction as well). The Undead: Zombie Anthology is a smorgasboard (sorry) of stories about zombies written from every conceivable angle: What if the zombies had *more* intelligence than we in some ways? What if Frankenstein's monster were real, and saw fighting zombies as his (tragic) chance for acceptance by the humanity he loved and loathed? What would a blind Black girl do when confronted with both zombies and a band of bloodthirsty rednecks? There are a couple of duds in the collection, to be sure, which don't add anything to Romero's mythos of the cannibalistic, infectious living dead, but these stories are far outnumbered by the clever, inventive, even heartfelt stories of life after the plague of the walking dead. A BRILLIANT ACHIEVEMENT!
Dead on.......2007-01-19
Zombie fiction at its finest. These are some of the best stories I've read on the genre in a while. Great stories by some very fine writers.
Entertaining read........2007-01-13
I really enjoy an anthology that shows some variety. This anthology wasn't too heavy - plenty of dark humor mixed in with more serious stories. The contributors were somewhat uneven. Some were excellent, where others appeared to have been written by a 13 year-old (werewolves fighting zombies). I thoroughly enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quick, entertaining read

A great book - well organized, thorough, and well-written. Nice that the authors provide a comprehensive outline of key points after each chapter.
HOWEVER...
One star subtracted for failure to error-check the mathematics in the practice questions. The math here is simple; there is no excuse for the publisher not taking a moment to run the numbers through a calculator.

Book Description
Charles Hamilton Smith's illustrations of soldiers of the British Army are a faithful and delightful record of how Wellington's troops were uniformed and equipped. Wellington's Army presents a collection of these sought after plates in a special, large format and provides a superb evocation of British military uniforms during the closing years of the Peninsular War and at the epic battle of Waterloo. The plates, drawn from life and completed in 1814, cover all the branches of service including line infantry; light infantry and rifles; heavy and light cavalry; general officers; foreign troops; artillery and engineers; and cadets and veterans. Each plate is accompanied by an incisive text by the leading expert on Wellington's troops - Philip Haythornthwaite - which discusses the unit in question, the uniform and its significant features. Wellington's Army also includes an extensive introduction analyzing the evolution of the British Army of the period and examining the colorful life of Charles Hamilton Smith.
