The book is a re-issue, but a worthwhile one: this is a mammoth work of non-fiction written like a novel that takes readers to the cracked and broken front of the failed war on drugs. If you wondered how they made their dialogue, characters and street scenes so gritty, the answer lies within these 628 pages. While such first-person research could well get you tagged by a nine, David Simon and Ed Burns spent all of 1993 on those vial-strewn sidewalks and lived to tell the tale - and what a tale it is.īurns, a former schoolteacher and detective, and Simon, a one-time Baltimore Sun crime reporter, are the same duo behind television's The Wire.

So faithfully did he transact Khadijah's business, and so excellent was the report of his behavior that Khadijah soon afterwards married Muhammad (S). In his twenties, Muhammad (S) made a journey in the service of a wealthy widow named Khadijah. Abu Talib's wife, Fatima bint Asad, did all she could to substitute for the boy's mother.

Russell’s narrative mixes intrigue, romance, and adventure, and a constant underlying tension drives Rho and her allies from one planet to the next. Unfortunately, almost no one is willing to believe that a mythical thirteenth sign is behind the tragedies, and Rho’s efforts seem doomed to fail as the Houses fall, one by one. ![]() Certain that a single evil is behind a string of troubles rocking the galaxy, Rho goes on an epic quest to find support and rally her fellow Guardians. When catastrophe strikes the House of Cancer, 16-year-old Rho becomes its powerful new Guardian.
