"Underworld" is incredible!
What a great continuation to the series! We get to go back to Coruscant and travel through her underbelly where those who don't want to be found go. Ferus is once again on his hunt to rescue a missing Jedi. But this time he'll have the help of Obi-Wan's old friend ...
The French Quarter: An Informal History of the New Orleans Underworld
Herbert Asbury
Basic Books
, 2003
Ahead of its time
Considering when this book was published, the fact that it held my interest in 2007 is nothing short of good, honest observation and recording by the author. I thought this was a wonderful book.

As Far as I know no one else has informed us about all of these underwater places where people, at one time, lived. As always Handcock makes you think.

The bomb, the baseball, and wasteland America.
Nominated for the National Book Award, Don DeLillo's ambitious 1997 historical novel tells the story of Nick Shay, a Phoenix waste management executive, who lives a meaningless life in late 20th Century America, a land of ever-accumulating garbage. (Phoenix becomes a ...
The Darkest Pleasure (Lords of the Underworld, Book 3)
Gena Showalter
HQN Books

Steamy Pleasure/Pain
I have been waiting for Darkest Pleasure since I finished Darkest Kiss. Gena Showalter definitely has created believable, hot, tormented characters in her Lords of the Underworld series. Reyes is the Keeper of Pain; which makes one wonder how he's supposed to enjoy ...
Dandy in the Underworld: An Unauthorized Autobiography (P.S.)
Sebastian Horsley
Harper Perennial
, 2008
Hilarious, Grim, and Hilarious
"I am not a writer. I am a performer. Writing is merely a way of bringing myself to the notice of the world." Thus says Englishman Sebastian Horsley, and he certainly got my notice in _Dandy in the Underworld: An Unauthorized Autobiography_ (Harper Perennial), ...
Yakuza: Japan's Criminal Underworld, Expanded Edition
David E. Kaplan
,
Alec Dubro
University of California Press
, 2003
An Underworld Education
"Yakuza: Japan's Criminal Underworld" is a book that is almost criminally enthralling. In the United States the world of organized crime tends to be viewed as entirely exclusive to Anglo-European or Eastern European groups. Whether it be the Cosa Nostra or the ...
Underworld (Resident Evil #4)
S.D. Perry
Pocket
, 1999
Can You say die?
This book had a fast begining to start off with. And although it is vague at times, it still good. After all, vaguness leaves room for the real imagination thinkers to work. When I first started reading this, I believed the premise and thought that this could've been a ...
The Barbary Coast: An Informal History of the San Francisco Underworld
Herbert Asbury
Basic Books
, 2002
An Amazing History of SF
San Francisco is an amazing city. Each time I visit I discover something new along its narrow alleys, panoramic vistas and historical landmarks. North Beach has always been my favorite SF neighborhood. It is amazing to me that such wickedness prevailed on these ...
Tokyo Underworld: The Fast Times and Hard Life of an American Gangster in Japan
Robert Whiting
Vintage
, 2000
Fascinating look at what's crawling around under the tatami
The sub-title of Robert Whiting's fine book is a bit misleading. The American gangster in question often disappears from the narrative for long stretches while Whiting explains the long history of collusion between Japanese politicians and the yakuza. Nevertheless, ...
Confessions of a Yakuza: A Life in Japan's Underworld
Junichi Saga
Kodansha International
, 1995
The Honorable Past.
It may sound odd that I use the word honor in the context of a gangster which is exactly what the yakuza were and are, but the man profiled here is completely old school in all its best connotations. Essentially, the background concerns a very old man about to die who ...
