David Elkin is on page 88 of 398 of The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings, #1)
Actually, listening to a marvelous audiobook rendition of the tale. After watching the movies, it is interesting how much they left out due to time constraints. If you have not read (or listened to) the 3 books, stop everything and do it now. This is a re-read (re-listen?) since the 40 years have passed since I read it in college.

David Elkin is starting The Devil & Sherlock Holmes: Tales of Murder, Madness & Obsession
put this one down as the stories were not what I expected. He is a good author but this book was not what I expected.

Extraordinary claims and a well crafted theory. However, most historians do not credit this proposition. It does make you think though

If the reports on the way we were running nuclear testing are accurate (and I believe they are), we are lucky it dd not go terribly wrong in the 50's.

David Elkin is on page 272 of 416 of Doctor Who: Shada
need to be a Doctor Who fan and especially Tom Baker buff. Based on a script from Douglas Adams, Roberts stays true to both him and the Doctor.

Just started last night. However, I am concerned that she is relying on Bob Lazar as a credible source.

A pro Lazar site; http://www.ufoevidence.org/documents/...

A skeptic site: http://science.howstuffworks.com/spac...

I lean towards the latter but will read with an open (hopefully not empty) mind.

I thought I was just picking up a quick pulp book, but the author has done his homework, is a great wordsmith and I now plan on reading all of them.
