**Prequel to the Amazon Bestelling Lost Immortals Saga**

Also Includes Assassin's Rose: A Short Story that takes place in the world of the Lost Immortals

"Mom always says the angels walk among us. She forgot to tell me that sometimes they're not all fluffy and nice."

Seventeen-year-old Caleb Wood has seen people he calls the walkers since he was a baby. It didn't take long for him to realize something…no one can see these strangers but him. They never stuck around or tried to touch him. And they never said a word. That was until one day on the first day of class in his senior year when an incredibly gorgeous girl strolls into his life…and things are never the same again.

Soon Caleb realizes he has stepped into the middle of a growing conflict between two ancient groups. And his ability to see the invisible ones, the half-breeds that want to modify the human race, just might be the only hope both he and the mysterious, but infuriating, Gia, have of making it out alive.

About the Author
Author of the Lost Immortals Saga and the Seraphine Trilogy. I'm also a mother, blogger, reader, gardener, home renovator, and a slayer of Egyptian mummies in Tomb Raider. I believe in karma, coffee, and seriously wish that the producers of Xena would bring my favorite show ever back.

Strange things about me: everything. I am strange, odd, unusual, and generally tend to make people think I swooped down from another planet. I don't know. Maybe I did. Who knows? I'm also a member of the #zombiesurvivalcrew on twitter. So if you need protection from the undead then don't hesitate to call on us.

I was born in the race-car city of Charlotte, NC, and now live in the City of Alchemy and Medicine, NC, when I'm not hanging out in Bardonia (Lost Immortals). Most of my characters are based on people that I've met throughout my travels and adventures. People tend to stop and start conversations with me as if I've known them my entire life. Does this freak me out? Not really. My mom says that one day I'll get kidnapped by one of them. I told her that if it weren't for these lovely people then I wouldn't be able to create the stories that I do.

I have many favorite authors but there are some who truly rock my socks: Octavia Butler, Anne Rice, Kami Garcia, J.K. Rowling, Dean Koontz (on his good-book days), Stephen King (same as DK) Ann Radcliffe, Mary Shelley, Elizabeth Kostova, and so many more...

Some other common tidbits...hmm. I've watched the movie Under the Tuscan Sun almost 200 times. Seriously, the way I see it is if I keep watching it enough, then suddenly the house that Diane Lane lives in will magically appear in my backyard. I know. I have a huge imagination!

Disappointing read
By Tabitha @ Bows & Bullets Reviews
Caleb Wood has always been able to see the Walkers. He doesn't know what they are; he just knows that no one can see them except him. Then one decides to strike up a conversation with him and become corporeal and he can't help but obsess over her. Then creepier Walkers start turning up and everything gets out of hand.
I feel like I have really missed something in this novel. My sister absolutely adored it and I have read several other reviews of people raving about its awesome-ness, but I just don't see it. It took me a record amount of time to read this rather small book (almost a month) and the entire time I was forcing myself to go on and truly gearing up to write an overly insulting review and give the book a single star rating. I gave it 2 because right at the end (in the last 30 or so pages) the story truly got interesting. Reading this really made me consider starting a "did not finish" shelf because it was so hard to get through.
The truth? I'm just too tired and frustrated to write a bitchy review. Yes, I want to warn people that this book has major issues and they might be better off staying away, but my usual fire is gone. I think this novel had many problems, the writing, the characters, the stop and go plot, the whole enchilada basically. I start with the characters because that's what I `m best at.
First off, we have our main man, Caleb. The entire novel is told via his perspective and let me tell you that for the first time I would have rather it been in third person. Caleb's personality fell beyond flat and his voice felt very much like a woman desperately trying to be masculine. This is not just because the lack of swear words or his overly censoring of his naughty thoughts (though it probably contributed just a bit), the way he processed things and the fact that he was always on the brink of tears just felt feminine to me. And seriously dude, learn to curse like a big boy because "oh snap!" just doesn't cut it. Seriously, those words were on every other page and it was about as believable as Zoey Redbird saying "bull-poop" all the time.
Then there were the female interests. Yep, I said interests, so love triangle land it is. Gia, the Walker/Angel/Whatever, so is all over the place that you can't tell what the hell she wants. One minute she is saving Caleb and then next she is avoiding him, telling him that he needs to leave her alone. She makes me wanna sing Katy Perry ::sings:: `Cause your hot then your cold, you're yes then you're no::stops:: I hate Katy Perry. For being the main love interest, she sure was flaky as hell and I couldn't bring myself to root for them at all. I honestly wanted Caleb to just forget about her and be happy with Erica, if for no other reason than so I could stop listening to his inner monologue of "why can't I being with Gia? Why doesn't Gia love me? Whine whine whine." As you can guess, Erica is the other love interest. In the beginning, I really thought she was going to be the only one, but boy was I wrong. She's that popular girl with a sweet side, you know the caring cheerleader. Her character was a bit to clingy, trying to force Caleb to like her when it was clear that he was hung up on someone else. I gotta give her props for being patient, but she would have been better off with someone else.
Almost all the rest of the characters felt one dimensional and didn't really add much to the story. Caleb's friends, the other Walkers, the bad guy, all feel very flat to me, so I'm not even going to bother with talking about them. The writing style in this was choppy and the plot was slow. I felt like none of it flowed well. You'll get 200 pages of Caleb and Gia doing the whole on again off again dance that drove me absolutely bonkers, with Gia not revealing any real information about herself (so really, what is the attraction? Just because she's hot? Dude, stop being so shallow) and Caleb panting after her, while keeping Erica waiting on the sidelines. Then after that, we get just a little bit of stop and go action and then it ends with your typical cliffhanger.
Okay, so maybe I got a little rantey, but really, it's what I do. This novel was a big downer for me and I can't say that I'll recommend it to anyone. Those out there in interweb land, enter at your own risk. Maybe I missed something, but I really just didn't enjoy this and I definitely won't be reading the sequel.

Loved it!!
By Field Trip Mommy
My Review: Dark Seraphine was so super good! It had everything that it needed and it was fabulous!

From the first page of this book I was sucked in. Stuff was happening and KaSonndra Leigh just grabbed us and threw us into the book. This book sounded like nothing I had ever heard before and it was crazy awesome and good. The plot was very fast paced and there was never a dull moment, because something crazy is always happening that usually comes out of no where.

Caleb was a great main character. He was caught between a rock and a hard place for most of the book and he has his flaws, but that's what makes him such a great character. I loved how he knew he had flaws and didn't think he was perfect and above everybody else. Gia was another great character. She was always popping up at unexpected times and she had me guessing what she was until the end. The side characters all fit together well too, and they all had a story and they weren't just shoved into the story because more characters were needed.

I loved the romance between Caleb and Gia. It wasn't one of those insta-love things that happen a lot in Young Adult books now, and I'm glad it was something different. There romance just happened slowly and it gradually got stronger and I was cheering for them in the end. More YA authors need to create romances like KaSonndra Leigh creates hers.

The writing style of this book was great. KaSonndra Leigh creates great characters and keeps the plot going smoothly. There were sometimes that I was a little confused with what was going on, but usually it was easy to tell. She also makes the dialogue sound like normal teenage conversation, which some authors don't do which was great. I could actually imagine kids at my school talking that way.

Another brilliant read
By Adriana Noriega
irstly i would like to thank the author and amazing friend KaSonndra for giving me the honour of reading and reviewing your new amazing book once again you have created a must read series.

what can i say about the book created by the beautiful and talented mind of KaSonndra Leigh. This time KaSonndra took us into the mind of a 17 year old boy and there were times that i was laughing out loud.

Caleb is your typical 17 year old boy hormones and all but with a big twist he can see beings that he calls "walkers, he has never interacted with them in any way so when a gorgeous walker who he calls "gia" suddenly starts appearing out of no where and starts talking to him, he is more than a little interested, he feels a unexplained pull to her. But suddenly things start happening that do not normally happen like girls wanting to kill him which i found sort of funny lOL and a few other creepy things.

I loved it that KaSonndra let you feel how frustrated Caleb felt, at times he didnt know what the hell was going on, he felt so frustrated and you feel it right along side with him but it makes you keep on going to find out why this is all happening.

Once again KaSonndra has written another book totally diffrent from all the others she has written and has been sucsessful in creating a must read. She also knows how to make things spooky, and she also knows how a 17 year old boys mind thinks LOL. KaSonndra is a very talented wrtier and i will be reading anything she writes as i know that she can write a book in any genre and still make it a must read.

Sedimentology and Sedimentary Basins: From Turbulence to Tectonics, by Mike R. Leeder

The sedimentary record on Earth stretches back more than 4.3 billion years and is present in more abbreviated forms on companion planets of the Solar System, like Mars and Venus, and doubtless elsewhere. Reading such planetary archives correctly requires intimate knowledge of modern sedimentary processes acting within the framework provided by tectonics, climate and sea or lake level variations. The subject of sedimentology thus encompasses the origins, transport and deposition of mineral sediment on planetary surfaces.

The author addresses the principles of the subject from the viewpoint of modern processes, emphasising a general science narrative approach in the main text, with quantitative background derived in enabling ‘cookie’ appendices. The book ends with an innovative chapter dealing with how sedimentology is currently informing a variety of cognate disciplines, from the timing and extent tectonic uplift to variations in palaeoclimate. Each chapter concludes with a detailed guide to key further reading leading to a large bibliography of over 2500 entries. The book is designed to reach an audience of senior undergraduate and graduate students and interested academic and industry professionals.

Sedimentary geology as an integrated discipline...
By Dario Ventra
I think Leeder's textbook will appeal to anyone who's striving to learn more about sedimentology and dynamic stratigraphy. It's a concise, yet thorough introduction to many topics selected within the vast, ever-expanding (and worryingly so! ) field of sedimentary geology... The author's main goal was probably to provide readers with a clear sense of how well integrated sedimentary geology now is with many other branches of earth and life sciences, physics and chemistry. And in my opinion that aim is succesfully achieved. The book will be suitable read to all those who have already taken an introductory, comprehensive course in sedimentology, on the look for something else to be inspired in their reflections. Reading through many of the chapters, newcomers will learn how sedimentology gained many precious contributions from other sciences, as well as just how much of a contribution the discipline itself can be to the whole bandwagon of geology. It takes a holistic approach to Earth system science to highlight this, and the book hits this mark real well...
I appreciated particularly a brief, separate chapter dealing with the properties and stuctures of fine, cohesive sediments, which is a refreshing perspective on the physical and dynamical sedimentology of muds... And a longer one introducing sediment sources as resulting from the interaction of tectonics and erosional processes. What left me rather disappointed was a too cursory mention of base-level control on sedimentary successions, and its logical development into sequence stratigraphy, not as a preconceived model but as a new philosophy in tackling with the complexity of the stratigraphical record. But something had to be probably neglected or the tome would have become real cumbersome to handle physically! Also, I wonder whether Coriolis force really bears any influence upon such small-scale systems as lakes...? But this is an aside... All in all, the book is enjoyable and informative, the author's style pleasant and clear, the artwork excellent, and if you wanted to try out something alternative for mumbling on the hidden meanings of sands, muds and other slimy stuff we like so much, having a go at this book would be very much worth the price...

I recommend looking for a guide to it
By James Griffith
I would give this a pass if you are anything other than a complete beginner when it comes to MS Office. It's not particularly focused on any one program and spends a lot of time trying to simulate real work. The problem is that the simulations and projects don't really apply the lessons from the program chapter that you're working in. For example, the projects for Excel consist of a few spreadsheets and a whole lot of MS Word. Same for Powerpoint. If you really need to learn a particular program, I recommend looking for a guide to it.

As a beginner's tool, though, the book could probably be pretty helpful.

Review
"Against a background of global competition. Gourdin discussed alternatives and opportunities arising from developments in such areas as transportation, communication, electronic data interchange and so on, and with real-life examples demonstrates how individual activities are woven together to form an integrated logistics system..... As a comprehensive grounding or timely update, this book will be particularly useful to practising managers and graduate and postgraduate students." Times Higher Education Supplement

"It is current; it reads very well; it is well written; it covers logistics from a global perspective very well; it is perfect in length; the study questions refer back to the text; the students should find reading the text enjoyable, not a chore; the profiles are applicable and current." David J Bloomberg, Western Illinois University.

"The book's strengths are that it is easy to read with a wide range of examples covering different parts of the world; it has comprehensive coverage of main logistics levels at the operational level; it provides a good introduction to some general management issues that impact on logistics (e.g. ABC analysis, corporate strategy, etc); and there are plenty of references for further reading. I would recommend the book to students as a useful introduction to the operational aspects of logistics, together with interesting examples of logistics developments taken from the commercial world." Michael Browne, University of Westminster.

From the Back Cover
As the globalization of trade gathers momentum, competition is becoming progressively more fierce and opportunities for gaining an edge over competitors are increasingly difficult to realize. Global Logistics Management: A Competitive Advantage for the 21st Century investigates the nature of individual logistics activities and demonstrates how they can be interwoven to form integrated systems. It provides both managers and students with the knowledge and skills necessary to turn corporate logistics activities into a source of sustainable competitive advantage.

Written in a clear and straightforward manner, the focus throughout the book is global. Examples of real-world applications of the principles discussed are drawn from organizations in various countries around the world. For the second edition, new cases have been added to reflect recent technological developments and current preoccupations such as security and more effective supply chain management.

By J1976
I love buying used books. This one was in excellent condition and I saved a ton of money. As for the book itself, I am keeping this one. I usually recycle my school books when I am done with the class, but not this one. I can see myself referencing this book again. I think the thing I like best about it is that it is very clear and not overly complicated like many texts can be.

The idea of form is one of the most fundamental concepts underlying all of the sciences. Our visual system is so well developed that we are able to effortlessly classify and compare visual images. What is not so well developed has been our ability to measure this visual information. This book examines a number of recent approaches currently in use to numerically characterize the biological form. It presents a unique overview of these methods, starting with a review of measurement set in a historical framework. The book will be of interest to graduate students in addition to a wide range of researchers, including those in the specialized fields of human biology, growth and development, orthodontics, botany, biology, ecology, zoology, as well as dentistry and medicine.

A book on de-bunking, not on morphometrics
By A mathematically-oriented reader
Background: I have a strong background in mathematics and image processing. I was looking for a book that could re-introduce me to the field of morphometrics. I had done some basic land-mark morphometrics before and wanted to return to the field.

Contrary to its title, this book is not about morphometrics for the life sciences. It is about the Fourier Descriptors methods and about de-bunking any other method. The book is divided by the author in two parts. The first part is dedicated to the history of measurement with strong emphasis on the politics involved, particularly the role of the (Catholic?) Church. I found this first part mildly interesting for historical curiosity, but completely irrelevant to the current morphometrics knowledge. The second part of the book (Morphometric Techniqhes) is supposed to cover different methods for morphomety. It does not. The second part includes chapters on Multivariate Morphometrics (Chapter 7) and Coordinate Morphometrics (Chapter 8). These two chapters (both less than 20 pages long) are devoted to highlighting the drawbacks of multivariate and coordinate morphometrics without giving enough mathematical background for the beginner to learn about them or to form an educated assessment of the methods. Boundary morphometrics (Chapter 9) is dedicated mostly to Fourier descriptors, the author's specialty. The chapter is allotted more than 35 pages, includes a mathematical background lacking in in other chapters, and -in contrast to other chapters, it does not mention any drawbacks of the Fourier descriptors. The book overemphasises the "information preserving" property of Fourier descriptors at the expense of morphometric techniques designed to assess differences. The only useful information I found in this book was the list of references regarding the methods this book tries to debunk.

Review
By Charles A. Wolfe
This may be the only book of its sort in print. Most morphometric texts are either very specialized or are becoming more of historical interest then having current applicability.
It is aimed at upper division and graduate students with an interest in morphometrics and can be used as textbook for a semester course in the subject. One does need a familiarity with mathematics; college algebra is the bare minimum to work thru the material, calculus is really required as is a course in applied statistics.
While a bit difficult in places (sometimes the way it is written, sometimes the difficulty of the material), the book is certainly worth reading and working your way thru. Master this book and you will be far more knoweldgable than most who claim to be active in morphometrics in biology or other fields.

Don't miss Juan Gabriel Vásquez's new novel REPUTATIONS, available September 2016!
 
* National Bestseller and winner of the 2014 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award
* Hailed by Edmund White as "a brilliant new novel" on the cover of the New York Times Book Review
* Lauded by Jonathan Franzen, E. L. Doctorow and many others
 
From a global literary star comes a prize-winning tour de force – an intimate portrayal of the drug wars in Colombia.

Juan Gabriel Vásquez has been hailed not only as one of South America’s greatest literary stars, but also as one of the most acclaimed writers of his generation. In this gorgeously wrought, award-winning novel, Vásquez confronts the history of his home country, Colombia.

 

 

In the city of Bogotá, Antonio Yammara reads an article about a hippo that had escaped from a derelict zoo once owned by legendary Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar. The article transports Antonio back to when the war between Escobar’s Medellín cartel and government forces played out violently in Colombia’s streets and in the skies above. Back then, Antonio witnessed a friend’s murder, an event that haunts him still. As he investigates, he discovers the many ways in which his own life and his friend’s family have been shaped by his country’s recent violent past. His journey leads him all the way back to the 1960s and a world on the brink of change: a time before narco-trafficking trapped a whole generation in a living nightmare.

 

Vásquez is “one of the most original new voices of Latin American literature,” according to Nobel Prize winner Mario Vargas Llosa, and The Sound of Things Falling is his most personal, most contemporary novel to date, a masterpiece that takes his writing—and his literary star—even higher.

Amazon.com Review
An Amazon Best Book of the Month, August 2013: Juan Gabriel Vasquez will draw comparisons to other major Latin American icons. But while the influence of Roberto Bolaño, Mario Vargas Llosa, and Gabriel García Márquez are present throughout his second novel, The Sound of Things Falling, he is a unique literary talent. Translated from Spanish (and exceptionally well, at that), Vasquez moves swiftly and subtly, opening in Bogota, Colombia, reflecting on the mid-’70s when the country was being taken over by drug lords and cartels (fueled by the U.S.’s hunger for cocaine). Law professor Antonio Yammara finds his fate intertwined with that of a shady ex-pilot named Laverde. But Things Falling is so much more than a drug story. This is a sensory novel. Antonio wrestles with the way he interprets by his surroundings, by how the external world affects the internal. “[I]t’s always disconcerting to discover, when it’s another person who brings us the revelation, the slight or complete lack of control we have over our own experience.” The Sound of Things Falling does so much at once: it’s a novel about how the U.S. dangerously influences Latin America, how the present never escapes the past, and how fragile our relationships--romantic and familial--can be. --Kevin Nguyen

From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. That story is to blame, declares a character in Colombian author Vasquez's latest novel (after The Secret History of Costaguana). Indeed, this book is an exploration of the ways in which stories profoundly impact lives. Around 1996, when murder and bloody mayhem fueled by the drug trade were commonplace in Bogotá, the young law professor Antonio Yammara befriends enigmatic stranger Ricardo Laverde. One night, assassins on motorbikes open fire on the two, killing Laverde and seriously wounding Yammara. Conflicted and at a loss to understand the damage Laverde has wrought, Yammara looks into his life story. Yammara suffers from crippling psychic and physical wounds as a result of the shooting, and his investigation takes him to Laverde's shabby Bogotá apartment, where he receives a gruesome clue from the grieving landlady. Yammara eventually finds Laverde's daughter Maya, a beekeeper who lives in the Colombian countryside. She shows Yammara photos and letters she's collected about the father she never knew. Together they lose themselves in stories of Laverde's childhood; of Maya's American mother, Elaine Fritts; and of Elaine and Laverde's love affair. Vasquez allows the story to become Elaine's, and as the puzzle of Laverde is pieced together, Yammara comes to realize just how thoroughly the stories of these other people are part of his own. Agent: Casanovas & Lynch Agencia Literaria (Spain). (Aug.)

From Booklist
*Starred Review* Ricardo Laverde does the one thing he must do—“A person doesn’t have to do anything but die”—cut down in the streets of Bogotá by the same drug lords he once served as a pilot. But in dying, Ricardo leaves behind a billiards-room acquaintance, Antonio Yammara, who lives with an ugly scar from a bullet fired by Ricardo’s assassins and with the daunting task of deciphering the hidden meaning of Ricardo’s life. Through the literary magic of one of Latin America’s most talented novelists, readers share that task with Antonio, probing the violence and fear spawned by the cruelly protracted drug war in which Ricardo perishes. Insistently pressing Antonio for the story behind Ricardo’s death is Maya Fitts, daughter of Ricardo and Elena Fitts, an American Peace Corps volunteer who long hides from her daughter the very existence of her criminal father and who herself dies aboard a plane taking her back to Colombia. As readers join Antonio and Maya in listening intently to the black-box recording from that plane, they will marvel at how Vásquez fuses past and present, hope and despair, in one unforgettable moment. A deft translation delivers the searing trauma and the tender intimations of a masterpiece. --Bryce Christensen

"So you fell out of the sky too!"
By Jill I. Shtulman
My, oh my - what an incredible novel. This is the kind of novel that made me brush everything aside and read voraciously, devouring every single word and dreading arriving at the end. Yes, it's that good!

Set in Bogota, Colombia, our narrator, Antonio, becomes twinned to an enigmatic and shadowy ex-pilot named Ricardo Laverde, whom he meets in a Bogota billiard hall. Ricardo has been imprisoned for many years for reasons that take time to be revealed. (The refrain is: "He must have done something.") Antonio is with Ricardo during a drive-by motorbike shooting that ends one life and destroys the other.

What follows is one of the most harrowing descriptions of PTSD I've read as Antonio lives in terror of everything. The only salvation for him is to uncover the facts behind the life of the mysterious "ghosted" Ricardo and Colombia's ignoble past.

That is only the early foundation of this book. It touches on many themes: the tentacles of the drug business in Colombia and how one person's actions can have a boomerang effect on so many others. How it feels to live with a "terrible awareness of my vulnerability" - where planes fall from the sky, where bullets fell the innocent, where memories burst out of nowhere to transform and paralyze those who live through it.

As Antonio reflects on the unsuspected intensity of his memories, which are "just now beginning to emerge like an object falling from the sky", he thinks: "My contaminated life was mine alone: my family was still safe: safe from the plague of my country, from its afflicted recent history: safe from what had hunted me down along with so many of my generation (and others, too, yes, but most of all mine, the generation that was born with planes, with the flights full of bags and the bags of marijuana, the generation that was born with the War on Drugs and later experienced the consequence)."

I must note that Mr. Vasquez does not place the drug war as front-and-center of his book; rather, his purpose is to display how things fall apart in a world that forces good people to relinquish their own feelings of control. As we fall out of the sky, only redemptive love can save us. By the end of the book, I had tears in my eyes from the sheer power of the writing. Kudos to Anne McLean for a beautiful translation of a must-read book.

Deep and thoughtful, but dense.
By DanD
Juan Gabriel Vasquez's THE SOUND OF THINGS FALLING is an intriguing, if slow, look into Columbia's past and present. It begins with a story of an escaped hippo--a fugitive from a zoo belonging to drug kingpin Pablo Escobar. What fallows is an investigation into Columbia's recent, violent past, figure-headed by Antonio Yammara, who once saw an acquaintance of his get gunned down right before his eyes.

There's a lot going for THINGS FALLING: lush prose, a rich backstory, and a truly interesting subject matter. However, instead of getting lost in the prose, the reader often hits a brick wall--a points, this feels more like thinly-disguised journalism. It's as though Vasquez either couldn't decide what to write (fiction or nonfiction), or chose to create a hybrid of the two. (Most likely, the latter.) While the idea is interesting, the book may have been better if the nonfiction accents were either toned down, or enhanced (i.e., a solid work of nonfiction). As is, this is a novel for some, but not all. Those who sink their teeth into it, however, will certainly come away with something worthwhile.

Epic, haunting and beautifully written
By Leslie N. Patino
Juan Gabriel Vásquez's "The Sound of Things Falling" is epic, haunting and beautifully written. I read an article about it in "Time" magazine on July 31st, one day before the novel's English release. Within twenty-four hours, I had read the entire book.

"Falling," as some people have referred to it in English, is the story of Antonio Yammara, a 29-year-old, university law professor in Bogotá, Colombia who has always excelled intellectually. His comfortable, carefree world is soon blown away. First, a former student turned lover announces she's pregnant and carrying his child. At the same time, Antonio, who plays billiards to unwind, has sort of befriended an enigmatic older player. Ricardo Laverde has shared a few intriguing bits of his life, mostly in a woozy state over drinks. One afternoon, as the men walk along a street after leaving the billiards hall, they become the targets of a drive-by motorcycle shooting. Ricardo is killed. Antonio is seriously wounded--physically and mentally. For Antonio, several years of PTSD follow and a long journey to discover the secrets of his acquaintance. The story covers some eighty years of real-life Colombian history and the personal lives of several generations of fictional families.

To fully appreciate "Falling," it helps to have some knowledge of Colombian history and culture and of the tremendous impact of the drug cartels over the last half century. If you don't have that, Wikipedia can pretty well fill in the gaps. In 2011, I spent a week in Bogotá. I visited bookstores and asked for current best-selling novels (in Spanish). I read two of three books I bought and the third one--most highly praised by the sales' assistant--languished in the "someday" pile. Guess what it was?

I pulled it out yesterday afternoon and cut away the cellophane wrapping, typical in Latin America. "Falling" won the 2011 Premio Alfaguara, one of the highest honors in Spanish-language literature. Some of the most prestigious writers in Latin America sit on its panel. I could relate to Elaine, the idealistic American who went off to Colombia and to change the world in her youth. I went to Mexico. My story is less dramatic. Mexico's story today is Colombia's in the 1980's and '90's.

If you want to truly understand the global impact of "recreational" drugs in the U.S. and what the future holds, "The Sound of Things Falling" is a great place to start. It may not pop up in your dreams, but it did in mine last night.
