I do remember the Lizards liked using bio-technology, there were a couple of interesting "firefights" with lizard guns and there were couple of dodgy inter-species sex scenes. But it was quite an interesting alterantive history novel.

One of my favourite books of all time is actually a book from the Battletech series called Exodus Road.
I loved it. I was full of action, intrigue and betrayal with a tragic hero. In fact there were a couple of decent books from that series, as well as quite a lot of mediocrity.

 The novel is so great, kinda different from the movie tho'... but it's better reading the book and having a picture with a red '58 Plymouth Belvedere near you, brings some atmosphere

Staying with my "I Want to Be Six Again" Day/Weekend, been reading through my huge collection of children's storybooks that I had collected for my granddaughter! (Well that and technically weeding the collection down) I'm busy making up storysacks to take down to charity to donate and promote reading literacy! So far I have about 15 bags with 10/12 books in a bag, and that's not like even maybe 1/4 of the books, LOL!

The Mountain that Loved a Bird
Just as their are soul songs, so too I think there are soul stories.
Years ago I found this children's story book, and it sings the story of my soul. Is the most breathtaking, moving, and emotion filled book I have ever read. I cannot read it and not weep, every time. The Mountain that loved a Bird - by Alice McLerran, Illustrated by Eric Carle. (the original version by my favorite illustrator) short video, (different illustrator) Is a story about love, joy, hope and transformation across the spans of time. There was once a mountain made of bare stone. It stood alone in the middle of a desert plain. No plant grew on its hard slopes, nor could any animal, bird or insect live there. The sun warmed the mountain and wind chilled it, but the only touch the mountain knew was the touch of rain or snow. There was nothing more to feel. All day and all night the mountain looked only at the sky, watching for the movement of the billowing clouds. It knew the path of the sun that crossed the sky by day, and the course of the moon that crossed the sky by night. On clear nights, it watched the slow wheeling of the far-off distant stars. There was nothing more to see. But one day a small bird appeared. She flew in a circle above the mountain, then landed on a ledge to rest and preen her feathers. The mountain felt the dry grasp of her tiny claws on the ledge; it felt the softness of her feathered body, as she sheltered herself against its side. The mountain was amazed, for nothing like this had ever come to it from the sky before. Joy sings a song to the mountain, the first music it has ever heard! And from that moment forward, the mountain's life will never be the same. Joy cannot stay, but returns each year in the spring, until finally the mountain, unable to bear the heartbreak of her leaving, cracks from deep within and begins to weep. The next spring Joy returns and sings to the mountain. The mountain only cried. Joy looks at the river of tears which was shed by the mountain. She said softly, “I will return next year,” and flys away. Another spring came, and the Joy returns with a small seed. She carefully put it by the river which ran down the mountain. Each spring Joy brings another seed and places it near the river. In time, the mountain was covered with plants and trees. Each year, more rivers ran down the mountain, and more trees and plants grew. And at last, the mountain became full of life. Then one spring she returns to the mountain, and begins to build a nest. “I am Joy,” she sings, “and I am here to stay.” And as I sit in my living room amongst my paintings, and think of these line from "Beautiful Day" And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth After the flood all the colors came out That day has come! :')
