Product Description
A View to a Kill (1985) is the fourteenth spy film of the James Bond series, and the seventh and last to star Roger Moore as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. Although the title is adapted from Ian Fleming's short story "From a View to a Kill", the film is the third Bond film after The Spy Who Loved Me and Octopussy to have an entirely original screenplay. In A View to a Kill, Bond is pitted against Max Zorin, who plans to destroy California's Silicon Valley. The film was produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, who also wrote the screenplay with Richard Maibaum. It was the third James Bond film to be directed by John Glen, and the last to feature Lois Maxwell as Miss Moneypenny. Despite being a commercial success and earning a Golden Globe nomination, A View to a Kill was poorly received by critics and was also disliked by Roger Moore himself. Christopher Walken, however, was praised for portraying a "classic Bond villain". ... Read more

Excerpt: Stephen Henry Perry (born October 8, 1963) is an American singer and musician, best known for being the lead singer-songwriter and occasional rhythm guitarist for the Oregon rock/swing/ska band the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, of which he is the founding member. Born in Syracuse, New York to a physicist and a social worker, Perry was raised in Apalachin, New York, outside of the industrial city of Binghamton, New York, an area that he referred to as "a gritty little shithole" and whose residents served as the basis for many of the characters in his songs. Following his graduation from Vestal High School in 1981, Perry moved to Eugene, Oregon to pursue track and field at the University of Oregon, where he met future Daddies bassist and fellow punk rock enthusiast Dan Schmid. Inspired to pursue musical opportunities full-time, the two dropped out of school to form the rock band The Jazz Greats (ironically named, as neither of them had any prior musical experience), which eventually transformed into a jangle pop band called St. Huck. At one time, Perry fronted the seminal punk outfit Snakepit with Billy Karren, Joe Preston and Al Larsen before departing in 1984, being replaced by Mike Johnson. According to Perry, his mother sent him a copy of The Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz as a gift, sparking a fascination with swing and jazz and eventually giving him the idea to fuse both swing and punk together in an attempt to create music people reacted to viscerally rather than passively. Composing a few songs in that vein, he and Schm...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4920888 ... Read more

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! For Your Eyes Only is a collection of James Bond short stories by Ian Fleming. It was first published by Jonathan Cape on April 11, 1960. It marked a change of pace for Ian Fleming, who previously had written only full-length novels featuring James Bond. The collection contains five short stories "From a View to a Kill", "For Your Eyes Only", "Quantum of Solace", "Risico", and "The Hildebrand Rarity". The title story of the collection lent its name to the 12th official James Bond film in the EON Productions series, For Your Eyes Only. Released in 1981, it was the fifth film to star Roger Moore as the British Secret Service agent, Commander James Bond. The film used some obvious elements and characters from the short stories "For Your Eyes Only" and "Risico" from this collection as well as elements from other Fleming novels. Some slightly similar ideas from the remaining short stories, "Quantum of Solace" and "The Hildebrand Rarity" might also be considered to have been incorporated into the movie of the same name, though in very oblique fashion. "From a View To a Kill" also lent part of its title (but no characters or plot elements) to the 14th Bond film, A View to a Kill (1985). ... Read more

HA HA HA HA HA.... NO thanks!!!
From Wikipedia:

An Amazon.com book search on June 9, 2009 gives 1009 (August 6 gives 1859, October 1 gives 3978) "books" from Alphascript Publishing.[nan 1] 1003 of the books are described as "by John McBrewster, Frederic P. Miller, and Agnes F. Vandome". They are called editors in the book listings. It seems the only content of the many books is free Wikipedia articles with no sign that these three people have contributed to them. The books often have very long titles that are full of keywords. Presumably this is to make them more likely to be found when searching on sites such as Amazon.

The articles are often poorly printed with features like missing characters from foreign languages, and numerous images of arrows where Wikipedia had links. It appears much better to read the original articles for free at the Wikipedia website than paying a lot of money for what has been described as a scam or hoax. Advertising for the books at Amazon and elsewhere does not reveal the free source of all the content. It is only revealed inside the books which maybe satisfy the license requirements for republishing of Wikipedia articles.

As an example of the "care" given to the books, the book "History of Georgia (country)" is about the European country Georgia but has a cover image of Atlanta in the American state Georgia.[nan 2] The Wikipedia article History of Georgia (country) does not make such a comical blunder.

An interesting concept
"Conan the Outlaw"
by Roger E. Moore

I find the entire concept of the "pick a path" book extremely intriguing. Written in the era of theVic 20 & the TRS80, these books were a viable entertainment alternative at the time. Not unlike an AD&D scenario, the reader had several options to chose from to see how the story would unfold. Roger Moore's contribution to this short lived genre is one of its better examples. Mr. Moore's Conan is a "text book" larger than life character type that the reader can not only enjoy but can choose the path of his destiny.Not a bad deal for around a dollar.

I first read this book over 20 years ago and recently re-read it after finding it in a used book shop. The book had lost nothing in the two decades since my first reading. It is still entertaining and fun. Additionally, it is also just a tad on the serious side of the Sword & Sorcery genre, and that's not a bad thing.

Thanks Roger.

In Frith,
Spence the Elder

A Few More Choices For The Demihumans
I have always liked the demihumans, as well as the Forgotten Realms Campaign. Although this book had quite a few new classes, there were few that I actually found useful. Yes, some of the Warrior and Rogue kits werepretty cool, some of these classes seem to be unable to use. Don't let thisdiscourage you. You may find some interesting classes that would put thespin you want on your campaign.

Humano-centricity: Good bye to bad rubbish
Finally a book for us freaks and geaks who like playing something other than a boring human. While yes most of book is geared toward the rouges(demihumans can only be Paladins in 3rd edition so, there's nosurprise here that the warrior classes are a little weak) I did find onekit I really liked. Understand that I like playing Elven/Half-Elven Rangersand for some odd reason the Houndmaster kit spoke to me. I liked it so muchit made buying the whole thing worthwhile. Some of it is a little vaguehowever and that works to its disadvantage. But all in all a good book,most of us who play humans maybe when a gun is pressed into the back of ourheads will find something in here to like.

This is a good book for the Races
This is a good book for people who like to play a Thief or a warrior.It also has a lot of intesting classes.The book could of gave more info about the races.

Very weak!!!
If your expecting something with any depth, forget it!If you have a DM with an IQ higher than a carrot, you've already encountered every character type in this book.

good book
this is a good book to have if you like playing forgotten reallms.also if you like theifs you need this book.also has many figter classes and barbarians. ... Read more

A worthy addition to the series
Arriving at the Rock of Bral, Teldin Moore is hoping to find help from the Elven Imperial Navy. But, all they can do is send him on, looking for information on his magical cloak and the legendary ship, the Spelljammer. But, the cloak is a most potent object, and there are many people who want it, and are willing to kill anyone who gets between them and the cloak. Can Taldin Moore stay alive long enough to complete his quest? And, just who can he trust, if anyone?

This is the third book in the Cloakmaster Cycle (after Beyond The Moons and Into the Void), the books that laid the groundwork for AD&D's most fascinating campaign - Spelljammer. This third book is really exciting, with lots of great action and adventure. I found the characters and creatures of the book to be very interesting, giving the story a lot of suspense and horror.

So, let me just say that this is a great book, and a worthy addition to the series. You say you can't imagine how anyone can combine space travel with swords and sorcery? Well, just read this book and find out. I highly recommend it!

The Cloak of the First Pilot
Maelstrom's Eye is the third book in the Cloakmaster Cycle series, which consists of six (6) books in total.Picking up from where Into the Void left off, the book continues to shed light on Teldin Moore and his ongoing quest to find out more about the magical cloak he carries a.k.a. "The Cloak of the First Pilot" and eventually be free of it.
The book does not waste time, instead it rushes to answer some of the questions that have been left lingering/unanswered from the first two books e.g. the changing of the cloak's colors, the ability to comprehend languages, the Reigar race to which the fallen she-captain from Beyond the Moons belonged and more...

This time round, Teldin has changed both physically and mentally; less trusting, longer hair, mustache etc
Ability-wise, he is maturing, becoming more and more experienced and able as a fighter as well as in learning the secrets of the cloak and thus better able at controlling and handling its immense power.He is able to cast Haste, Magic Missiles, and set up protective magical barriers among others.

The book opens with a bang, immediately catching the reader's interest and attention.
The amazing tour of the exotic Rock of Bral and the graphic way that Vorr dispatches the goodly party leave the reader enthralled!The book immediately becomes captivating, to the point that it cannot be easily put down.
The graphic slaughter of noble heroes is surely to get one's attention and develop hateful feelings towards the perpetrators.

The plot as a whole is excellent!The book is so incredibly well written that the reader feels that they have been transported to another plane of existence and are actually present among the characters, seeing what they see, feeling what they feel, sensing what they sense.Moreover, Roger Moore does a great job of presenting the distinct culture and civilization of the space faring peoples, especially the elves, the gnomes, and the scro.He has done a great deal of research in order to provide such an accurate and lucid description of these people.
Neogi, umber hulks, elves, gnomes, space battles, intrigue, betrayal, and swordfights are all about.
In addition, there are some new and interesting races/creatures like the Fal and the scro (space goblinoids) that really do spice up things.
Furthermore, there is a strong sense of Star Wars and Star Trek with the motley collection of aliens that one encounters in Wildspace and on the Rock of Bral in particular, though a map of the Rock would be extremely helpful.
Finally, it is truly wonderful to be provided with so much more information regarding the Spelljamming world.

On the negative side, there is still the question from the first book that is left unanswered as to why Teldin seemed as being a draconian to the draconians while at the SAME TIME as himself to his human companions (there must be some kind of magic from the School of Illusion at work that has not been explained). Hopefully this will be dealt with in one of the other books further down the line.

Secondly, a "charmed" Teldin could convince Aelfred to mutiny against his captain (Estriss) with little, almost no difficulty after 3 and a half years (!!!) service aboard the Probe, but he could not get him not to hire Gaye, the half-kender girl, whom he'd never met before as a new crew member! Hmm...

Thirdly, the gypsy-like half-kender is really not that great nor that interesting as a character and unless she has some kind of higher mission in the next book (s) there isn't really a good enough reason to have her included in the first place. As for the "relationship" that seems to be in the making...

Fourthly, the main villain, a scro general, is really too strong/powerful to the point that I don't really know if Teldin and company were up to the task of defeating him.(Gods DO NOT have 100% Magic resistance!)He wiped out a party made up of elves, dwarves and humans including priests, fighters, cavaliers and wizards without as much as breaking a sweat!

Finally, as to WHO and HOW succeeds in killing Vorr, the characterization "far fetched" is an understatement, if I ever saw one!(Unless again there is more than meets the eye that will be revealed down the line.)

Roger Moore does a FANTASTIC job of conveying the sheer power and evil of the Scro, especially after reading: "He buried bones that were burned, bones that were broken, bones that were gnawed upon."

In conclusion, my question is why did Roger Moore not write any more books along the lines of Maelstrom's Eye?

Maelstrom's Eye
Compared to any of the other books situated in the Dungeons and Dragons universes, I have enjoyed the Spelljammer stories quite thoroughly. I recommend this book highly to anyone that likes Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, Darksun, Greyhawk, or Planescape.

Delightful! The best installment in the series!
I warmly remember The Maelstrom's Eye as one of the best TSR-novels I read as a teen. Roger Moore gave his debut as a novelist, displaying a quite surprising talent for writing, given that he was primarily a game designer. He managed to elevate the up to then solid but not captivating Cloak Master Cycle to new heights, delivering a story as complex as it was intriguing. Elaine Cunningham came close to matching him in this, but after that, the series sadly dropped off. Don't miss the appearance of the dreaded space hamsters!

Reunions...
These are the ONLY novels written before TSR cancelled the Spelljammer AD&D campaign:

In this, the third novel of a 6-part series, the main character (Teldin Moore, a native of Krynn, the Dragonlance world) meets with the Elven Imperial Navy to get help in determining the properties of his mysterious cloak, which is said to have ties to the Spelljammer ship itself.

As the story develops, he is emroiled in a conflict with the elves and the Scro, an intelligent orc race, who both want to obtain his cloak (as does an undead neogi). Along the way, he is reunited with a character from the first book (a hippo-man named Gomja) and is joined by a native of his homeworld, a female half-kender (as he would say, "Great Paladine!").

Well-written and in-depth, this continues the series of novels about the Cloakmaster. Each novel is written by a different TSR-native author. The story, so far, has meshed well and each author well-defines the broad scope of the unique Spelljammer setting.

This entire series must-buy for a fantasy fiction lover tired of the traditional "Earth-style pseudo-medievil world-walker" campaigns. ... Read more
