Pontypool by Tony Burgess ******"Like Burgess's last book, The Hellmouths of Bewdley, the writing in Pontypool is taut with inventive and poetic metaphors. Overtones of the Night of the Living Dead abound and the novel is filmic in approach, style, imagery, and construction." —Quill & Quire Rendezvous with Rama 1.2 by A C Clarke (2 hrs) Rendezvous with Rama 2.2 *******In 2130, a new celestial body is discovered heading toward the Sun.
