Condición: Very Good+. Gerritsen (Bloodstream) meshes medical suspense--her specialty--and the wor ld of space travel in another nail-biting tale of genetic misadventure. Muc h of this scary thriller is set aboard the International Space Station, whe re a team of six astronauts suddenly find themselves threatened by a virule nt biohazard. Victims first register a headache, followed by stomach pains; then their eyes turn blood red. Finally, they convulse so violently they l iterally bash themselves apart. Most frightening is what spills out of thei r bodies: green, egg-filled globules. As astronaut Emma Watson, the station 's onboard doctor, struggles to fight the outbreak, her colleagues are dyin g one by one. A Japanese astronaut, the first to get sick, is sent down to earth via the space shuttle, but he's dead on arrival. Panic spreads when m ilitary physicians discover a deadly mutant--a creature that's part human, part frog and part mouse--in the eggs that spill from his body. The militar y, fearing bioterrorism or even an extraterrestrial invasion, quickly trace s the contaminant to an experiment on the space station that was funded by a company researching tiny organisms in the ocean off South America, where an asteroid hit thousands of years ago. Meanwhile, back on the station, Wat son is the only one left alive. The military says she's already infected an d must be left to die in space, but Watson's husband, fellow astronaut/phys ician Jack McCallum, won't tolerate that decision, and scrambles to find a way to get her home. It's a tribute to Gerritsen, herself a medical doctor, that such an outlandish tale can be told so compellingly and convincingly.

Paperback. Condición: Good. "When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I managed to survive at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly wo rth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserabl e Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood. " So begins the luminous memoir of Frank McCourt, born in Depression-era Broo klyn to recent Irish immigrants and raised in the slums of Limerick, Irelan d. Frank's mother, Angela, has no money to feed the children since Frank's father Malachy, rarely works, and when he does he drinks his wages. Yet Mal achy does nurture in Frank an appetite for the one thing he can provide: a story. Perhaps it is a story that accounts for Frank's survival. Wearing shoes repaired with tires, begging a pig's head for Christmas dinner, and searching the pubs for his father, Frank endures poverty, near-starvation and the casual cruelty of relatives and neighbors -- yet lives to tell his tale with eloquence, exuberance and remarkable forgiveness.

Determined to bring her to his idea of justice, Ralph's next st ep is to travel from Florida to Ohio to find his ex-wife's house on Mad Riv er Road.

But this stranger is everything t he previous men in her life weren't: tender, attentive, and adventurous. Af ter convincing Jamie to quit her miserable job and ditch her judgmental, pe rfectionist sister, Ralph proposes a romantic getaway. While Jamie wonders if this thrilling man might finally be her Prince Charming, they plan a roa d trip to visit his son, who lives with his mother on a street called Mad R iver Road.

Condición: Fine. Thirteenth dip by sexologist Bright (Full Exposure, 1999, etc.) into the bi g pool of Americans groping for skin under the surface of society and findi ng plenty of strong feelings and slick flesh. Outstanding contribution here is an excerpt from Pulitzer-winner Jane Smiley's Good Faith, which is so w ell written that a page about snowfall outside the Hilton Hotel on 54th Str eet is sexy and fulfilling even before the lovers' joining. Cecile Tan's tw o pieces, "Seduction" and "The Magician's Assistant," are less about sex th an about fearful virginity and being ignored. Other impressive entries incl ude the kickoff story by Steve Almond, "Slippy for President," in which a l oser college student moves into an off-campus house full of beautiful blond es and gets teased about never eating "pussy" or smoking pot. Then the lose r and three blondes take Ecstasy: What happens next is quite literate and a musing. While most of the contributors are new names, all write with verve. P.S. Haven's "Charles Sykes' Spirit of Ecstasy," "Robots of the World, Uni te" by Karl Iagnemma, and Lana Gail Taylor's "Genuflection" should not be m issed. Also gripping (so to speak), is Bright's account of her days as a re viewer of XXX videos, watching dozens of tapes at breakneck speed to make h er deadline with a notebook-and a hand-in her lap. A tasteful pillow book.
