If first fell in love with Abigail Graham with her Paradise Falls books. She delivered once again with Mockingbird. Bad boy Apollo meets his match with innocent Diana. If you don't like steamy romance this one isn't for you.

Zeus has gone missing which leaves an empty throne and gods wanting to fill it including Apollo. Hera meanwhile is on the hunt for a woman who carries Zeus's child, though she knows nothing of the world of the gods and was tricked.  Hermes arrives to try to save her. He tells her to use her special key which takes her away from her farmhouse and lands her in Diana Prince's home.  They go back to the farmhouse and fight centaurs off.

Wonder Woman takes Zola and Hermes to Paradise Island for help but is greeted with animosity for bringing a girl who bears the child of Zeus.  This is where we hear the origin story Diana grew up hearing from her mother Hippolyta about being fashioned out of clay and how her mother prayed to the gods for a miracle and was granted one by having the clay come alive. That Diana was a child born without a man's seed.  Growing up she had to put up with being called the cruel nickname of Clay and now the nickname has come back out of the past.

Meanwhile, Strife is counseling her mother Hera on how to handle the situation with the girl and with Diana's new involvement.  She's egging her on a bit.  Hera sends her down to Paradise Island to deal with Diana and the women and to get Zola.  When she arrives she causes chaos and the Amazonians find they are fighting themselves.  When the fighting ends Strife lives up to her name and lets the cat out of the bag about Diana's real parentage. It seems that Hippolyta had an affair with Zeus the result of which was Diana. She made up the story about her being made from clay to protect her from Hera's wrath.  Diana leaves the Island in a terror.  While she is gone Hera visits Paradise Island to enact her punishment upon Hippolyta for her betrayal.

Diana must get over her rage at her mother and find a way to protect Zola from those who seek to harm her with the help of a wounded Hermes.  What they do is quite creative and daring. I love it.  The art is good and while the colors are lovely they don't pop. It's still a good start to a very interesting series.

Just got my Cd in today and when I unwrap and open it, there's Brian Eno's Apollo inside.

Does anyone have information about EF records? I know here in the US they are distributed by Caroline but I think EG or Caroline should be issuing replacements.

Other than the boring Eno, the UK Night After Night rates 5 stars.

Great history of Apollo. Not about the astronauts, it is about the people behind the scenes, scientists, engineers, etc. Really brings them to life

I found this story to be intriguing. If you have read any of Diana's books that she wrote introducing us to the Mercenaries you would appreciate this one too. The beginning of the story makes you want to read more about this collage of characters and what makes each and everyone of them tick. What is the story behind Colby, the 7 yr. old girl & Sabrina...as well as Rodrigo and so on.

I am over 40 and this book give me what I want...a story about a mother trying to make something of herself as well as keep care of her daughter to the best of her ability. The sexy hero who learns about Bernadette and goes from not wanting to know or have anything to do with the child to wanting nothing more then to cuddle her and love her.

I know this story will not have let ANYONE down or disappointed Diana's ardent fans. It gives us all what we want....a good old fashion romance with some intrigue thrown in as well as a woman who can handle herself come what may.

Keep up the good work Diana and thank you for the work you have done and the work you still have pouring out of your soul.

Book #2, The Equinox, left us with the sudden departure of Jhonny, Kat's love interest, and the long lost return of Kat's Father, Paul.  Fast forward a year and a half and we begin Book #3, The Descendants.  The inevitable return of Erabus, the God of Darkness, is in the thoughts of everyone, and on what havoc he could wreak at any moment.

Meanwhile, life goes on and it is the Winter Solstice, and the Apollo Beach High School's Arctic Winter Masquerade Ball.  Kat is secretly thrilled that her Father is there for this momentus occassion, to hand her off to the dance.  The adults, Rose, Paul, Charlotte, and the rest of the Enchanters, will be attending their own celebration at Summer Island's Community Center.

The book bounces back and forth between the past and present.  It is in this way that we learn about things that lead up to now.  Such as what happened after Paul's arrival and how he started building a relationship with his daughter, Kat.

We don't have to wait long until Erabus appears.  He can't resist crowds, or his pawn, Kat.  A life hangs in the balance as he threatens Kat to get the information he wants, or else she'll be saying goodbye to the ones she loves.  There is also the return of someone else.

Will they be able to save a life, and will that be the key to stopping Erebus?  Read to find out!!!  It's worth every word!!!

This is all I am going to say on the content of the book, as I don't want to spoil anything for anyone!

I have come to really LOVE this series.  K.K. Allen has done a tremendous job.  The balance between that good and evil is expertly written as is the tie-in of Greek Mythology.  The books are very emotional, her descriptions and writing style really enable you to feel everything the characters are going through.  It's a magical world the she has woven.  One that I am sad to leave.  I just hope and pray that her last words... THE END... FOR NOW... hold true, and that there is hope for more to come in the future.  I for one, am eager to see the story continue!  I promise to re-visit Apollo Beach often!

Another amazing novel in the series by Diana Gabaldon!  What an amazing and brilliant writer!  I've already begun the third book in the series.  History and romance combined with a touch of time-travel; hard to get better than that!  You will not regret reading this book.  Enjoy!

Most of the DVDs I have relate to Space Exploration- In my mind this is both entertaining and exciting to watch.
This DVD shows the Apollo Moon journeys from the begining to the end of that era.
Most satisfactory- I loved it- cannot put it down- a very welcome addition to my collection. again-it is another very interesting DVD- thanks to NASA and everyone connected.
Although I live in the UK-I Buy USA DVDs as I have a muti-region player.
Well worth adding to your collection-all you [space people]

Hmm...interesting. Below is what remains of the review I posted a few years ago. What gives Amazon? Who or what cropped the beginning section out of it?!

Speaking of "Houston, we have a problem"!

*****************

it is a very good series. I simply don't get that episode---I suppose it was look at how journalism had changed (or was changing) into the worthless condition it now finds itself.

If you're into Apollo, this is a must have. IMO, there's never enough that can be written about this era, and this series does indeed do it justice.

There is nothing not to like. Diana's books read so easily and now with the Outlander series we have faces to put with the names, so it's all the better. What a fabulous series of books.

Eva Pohler is one of the best authors of our time.  Charon, the ferryman has been advised through a vision Apollo has had that he needs to go, live, and be among the living.  The story is so full of energy and suspense.  You will laugh and maybe even shed a tear or two.  He's someone you don't hear much about in Greek mythology.  I'm very glad his story was told. I really love how He is truly loyal to Hades, even when tempted by Zeus in regards to his love.  You will love this and want to re read time again.
