A Thousand Words (2012)
He turns out to have powers of his own. I used to think the subject of sexting was simple and easy — a picture of someone not wearing any clothes got out, bullying and harassment will ensure, the end. Julie Czerneda is one of them. Perhaps this was a plot point that she was coerced to emphasize beyond what she wished by an editor? It looks like an interesting time and it should cover the origin of the biological impasse that is the crux of this book. That didn't work out, either. Jack also does desperate pantomimes and gets so frustrated he seems ready to explode.
What makes me love all of an author's books? That part of the world building is faithfully and logically portrayed. Sira also, while not unlikable, wasn't the kind of female I liked to read about in scifi books there was nothing. There are even reasons that Sira seeks out Morgan in particular at the beginning of the story, despite her being amnesiac. She runs into Captain Morgan, a sympathetic human who nonetheless refuses to bring her on-board. With no leaves remaining, Jack suffers a heart attack in a storm and appears to die.
Instead, they crash with his lobster-like friend at his restaurant for a few days. That is a great life lesson you can begin at any time. When squirrels climb the tree, it tickles him. Meet the Clan, shadowy figures of unfathomable power. One planet is mud-bound and the natives are an amphibious humanoid race.

For all that, I got a solid feeling for his character and I like him a lot — which makes me look forward to Ties of Power all the more where Czerneda implies in the introduction that his past while be explored further. He's a Trade Pact Enforcer, which deals with all off-world crime involving member species of the Trade Pact, and he's following two members of the Clan. Anyway, he removes some of the blocks on her memory, so she starts remembering more, but gradually. In the midst of the scandal, Ashleigh feels completely alone — until she meets Mack at community service. We know way too much to keep the story interesting, while Sira knows too little. They must also deal with space pirates, Trade Pact enforcers, a variety of Clansfolk with differing agendas and, just to make things more complicated, their own growing feelings for each other.

But, seeing the world, primarily, through the eyes of someone without a memory makes the transition much easier than if all of the characters were accustomed to the world paired with a minimal exploration into the minutia of each species and their customs involved. In fact this movie is just another cash Terrible movie. She's lost her memory, and the entire universe is after her. Reminded me somewhat of Andre Norton's Witch World, only with more technologically advanced societies. Cue the arch-enemy who wants to mate with her. I wasn't expecting a romance, even with the introduction about reproduction. There are a few authors who so far have never published a book I didn't love.
Not only does the person get bullied; there may be legal consequences added into the mix as well. However, I found it easy and a real pleasure to immerse myself in the world that Julie Czerneda has created. Of course, not everyone will love the same authors I love. The relationship between Sira and Jason Morgan was inexplicable and overdramatic. You guys will definitely be seeing me push this book onto other people this month. I mean, I guess the eventual plot twist of the story explains why it happened so quickly, but there was no chemistry between them. There are three things that cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon and the truth.
This was space opera before I knew what space opera was called, and all that I knew was that I loved it. Another issue I had was with how some scenes were a bit confusing. Roraqk, a snake-like humanoid species with incredibly fast reflexes and disgustingly flexible limps, hisses out threats and kidnaps her with dire threats. I had to force myself to finish it, and I admit, I basically skimmed the last 25% of the book. The book has some great ideas but does not really give the reader enough information to make sense of what is going on for most of the book and even the end leaves a lot open. By taking time to highlight text and then typing it out earlier today, I feel I do pretty much understand what was going on in the book.
In an effort to encourage myself to a reread, I ke Well, I wrote an entire review for this — and one I was rather pleased with too — and then accidently overwrote the draft when I started typing up my notes for the book for my Spoilers, Notes and Theories blog. Words have never failed Jack McCall, but now he's got to stop talking and conjure up some outrageous ways to communicate or he's a goner. While trying to get a book deal from a new-age self-help guru named Dr. I have previously read by the same author and was amazed by the wonder of her universe. When he tries to explain the tree to her, she doesnt believe him. I'm thinking this will happen next and I know it happens in the prequel that I adore and knowingly read first.
I'm thinking, what I'd try is writing notes. The world was totally incoherent. Leila wanted Miriam to run away with her, but Miriam refused. To have things go back to normal. The mysterious Captain Morgan has a starship. The one in custody is a relative of hers, Barac, who was her escort.
