An ancient dagger and a cast of cutthroats provide plenty of mayhem in this debut sci-fi/thriller set in Indonesia. Prang, a biochemistry student, is being trained in Pentjak-Silat, the Indonesian version of martial arts, by his grandfather, an elderly, rather mystical figure about whom Prang knows surprisingly little.
Alternating chapters set in ancient China relate the story of Miao, tiger killer and woman warrior, that inform the current-day narrative. Yun Rao, born Arthur Rosenfeld, is an ordained Taoist monk and the award-winning author of 21 books. The recent transplant to Tucson is also a tai chi master and teacher.“Sex, Diet and Tanning: The Curious Story of the Drug to Induce a Natural Tan Including All You Ever Wanted to Know About Tanning” By Terence Winters, PhD, and Robert Dorr, PhD.
The bulk of the narrative covers the development and testing of the melanotropic peptides, including unforeseen benefits they confer on sexual performance and appetite suppression. In an informal style, the authors relate the highs and lows experienced by their team — including the tragic murder of one colleague — on their way to establishing a successful start-up.
In “Amending the Christian Story,” Rude pulls readers up short. Reminding us of just how brief the duration of Homo sapiens has been in the existence of the world, he asks us to step back and examine our arrogant, careless, anthropocentric sense of our place in the universe. So, through a cyberspace fluke, “Knitty,” a victim of the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, is able to contact “pliant” Tracey to exact revenge for her untimely death.
“Schimmels’ Maxim” chronicles Alan Voelkel’s three decades teaching science, journalism and media in Tucson’s Wakefield Middle School. Voelkel took the inner-city job fresh off a decade’s stint doing community development in rural Dominican Republic and southern Sonora.
