Intriguing

The Finder: A Novel
Colin Harrison

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008

Brutally intelligent....
This book is not for the squeamish. There is so much going on that you wonder how Harrison keeps it all together, and keeps it all believable. But he does! It is a fascinating look into the different sub-cultures in New York and how closely they can be related, ...
  
  











  



  
Bodies Electric
Colin Harrison

Crown, 1993

Again, Harrison has fulfilled my life for 2 more days.
Fantastic! That's what I could only say to you guys without any chronicle backpains. I suffered a badback again last week and had to lie down in bed for 4 days. "Bodies Electric" had lightened my painful suffering for two days and enlightened me in the meantime. When ...
  
  











  



  
Break and Enter: A Novel
Colin Harrison

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2002

Stunned by the author's mastery
As I listened to Harrison's book on tape, I was stunned by his mastery. His thorough and painfully honest examination of the protagonist, his almost sadistic ability to continue suspense and increase tension, his beautiful prose style -- all of these make me admire ...

The Simon & Schuster Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Creatures: A Visual Who's Who of Prehistoric ...
Barry Cox, Colin Harrison, ...

Simon & Schuster, 1999

An engrossing and informative volume for laymen or experts
This volume is the best one I've found on prehistoric creatures. Having always been fascinated by them, I wanted as an adult to find something to broaden the base I'd built as a kid obsessed with Tyrannosaurus and trilobites. Though I'm far from a paleontologist or ...

Afterburn: A Novel
Colin Harrison

Picador, 2007

Dark, controlled fiction at it's best
Unbelievably good. The tale describes three main characters in late 90's NYC, all exceedingly likable and flawed, then places them in such excruciating situations that I had to put the book down several times, only to grab it back up greedily five minutes later. Every ...

The artistic temperment in NYC gone wild and why not?, This novel portrays art with myriad consorting muses taken to the extremes of passion and enabled at every moment for this creation to create and finalize itself whatever the cost. Where but in 1970's Manhatten, ...

Agent Sourcebook: A Complete Guide to Desktop, Internet, and Intranet Agents
Alper Caglayan, Colin Harrison, ...

Wiley, 1997

Great book!
This is a great book! It is a super introduction to agent technology. There is so much hype about agents around -- this book provides a coherent taxonomy of agent technologies and really explains what agents can and cannot do. Other books I've read on agent ...
