A group of scientists, and engineer, and a space ship racer take a new intergalactic ship on its maiden voyage, and end up...where? Well, the Grand Central Arena, where they have to deal with hundreds or thousands of other alien races to win a place in society, and a chance to return to Earth. More or less. Good story, I thought.

Very good book about William Mulholland and the building of the Los Angeles aqueduct.

Sixth grade Miranda gets mysterious notes. One of the best books I have read lately, of its kind. I was so much in tears at the end I nearly choked.

Disgruntled astronauts steal intersteller spaceship and head to the possibly Earthlike planet named Coyote. Well, they wuz going there anyway, it is that they replaced the original colonists with other disgruntled citizens. I thought it was pretty good, but the reviews on Amazon.com say the science is erroneous. There are a couple sequels. We shall see...
