"For the latest Sigma Force novel, Tucker and Cain return with a new dog Marco in training. This time the team is out to find Hyperborea up in the Arctic. Of course Valya is back in the picture as well. After 18 of these novels, they are starting to get a bit formulaic. I enjoy them still. It's just that no one ever really seems in peril these days as the same characters are kicking around in each book and it tends to be the same schtick. They have to find some lost ancient area that also has something foreboding there and at the end it's going to get destroyed just as they finally discover it. I liked it a bit better early on when there was at least some additional characters that may not make it through. Now it's like, how many lost civilizations could there really be in the world?"

"There is an axiom in the land I hail from. Translated roughly, it says that one should never probe deep into the origins of a river or the antecedents of a saint, which means that if you dig deep, you will find that even the holiest of things may have a murky past/beginning. Taslima Nasrin, who is no stranger to controversy, has given us a clear view into her childhood and things that made her the firebrand author that she is.

If the incidents she has narrated are all true and honest, I don't see any surprise or bitterness about her having become a staunch critic of patriarchy and religious hypocrisy. Lucid, hard-hitting narrative that is bound to make one feel uneasy for sure."
