Book description
Allen Parker, known for his down home-style of humor, delivers the funniest book of his career. From the success of Nudist Among Us, Parker continues his laughfest with the second collection of stories that are sure to brighten your days and enliven your nights. Told from Chester’s viewpoint, the stories reveal the human side of our bumbling hero. The characters are real. The settings are true to their history. The action, of course, is all Parker. Chester’s hallmark catastrophic dilemmas invade each part of the story with stumbling grace and poise. It is a ballet of laughter on each page.

Review:
Another Crichton adventure / thriller book. He takes on global warming as subject, has studied it thoroughly (coming up with the conclusion 'inconclusive') and written a thriller focussing on the big stakes on both sides of the global warming debate. Eventhough he has 'done his homework', I suspect a real climatology scientist can shoot holes in his story. The style of the book is the usual Crichton style: an intense week in which a lot happens, and multiple storylines start unrelated but sort-of come together in the end. Some story lines that start of looking like major adventures of their own end as 'support act' for the main storyline. The title 'state of fear' refers to the need of 'the population' to have a common enemy, a concept tha... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
What a delightful curiosity! This Rip Van Winkle science fantasy of the links was actually published in the late 1800s, and its prescience remains frightening. After shooting a pretty fair round of golf on March 24, 1892, Alexander Gibson, a Scottish golfer, has a few whiskies and a smoke, falls asleep, and wakes up on the morning of March 25, 2000. What he sees--golf carts, women running businesses, television, and bullet trains--might seem ho-hum to us, but no one was yawning at these concepts at the turn of the century. As for golf, Gibson assures us "there were still 18 holes in a round, though much longer ones than I had been accustomed to," the clubs--one-piece and steel shafted--keep their own score, jackets yell "Fore!" and caddies ...
