Today, November 30^th is the official release date for this novel. To date I had not had Ally Condie on my radar as an author I had wanted to read, but in the attempt to spread my wings a bit and find new

stuff to read I followed a suggestion from a Goodreads friend and took the ride

It is about time, a new Dirk Pitt novel. I have read them all and say that with a certain degree of satisfaction. I love to be entertained by Clive Cussler with this character and band of off- beat friends

my day, there was no Facebook or Myspace. Back in my day, all of our books were

hardcover or paperback.

I look around me now and…

Rose: The foremost, the eternal rose....the special one you think will always be there and never choke you rose... This represents true love and The Handsome Prince!

Rose: Moonstone...the starstruck rose....the one who's unsuspecting...virginal in a way...new and open to all...an up and coming rose...The Fair Maiden Rose!
