The hero is a starship captain and it’s set in a future human colony on another world, but it’s neither an adventure story nor an exploration of strange environments.  It’s partly a dystopian novel about trends in our own society that appall me, specifically today’s elevation of medical care over all other human values and the growing involvement of government in personal health care decisions.  But the story is also about the so-called paranormal powers of the human mind, such as telepathy and healing.  It won a bronze medal in the Independent Publisher (IPPY) Book Awards not in the science fiction category, but in the visionary fiction category.  And there’s a romance in it, too, though that’s not its central focus.  I call it a science fiction novel when I’m talking to SF enthusiasts, but I don’t like to use that label when  describing it to a wider audience.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003EThe protagonists of the story reject their world’s premise that human life is defined merely by the body, that bodies can be endlessly repaired by medical science, and that there is no such thing as death.

I found that I just couldn't put this book down. Even though it is of the Young Adult genre, most adults that I know that have read this book have been thrilled with it.\u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cp\u003EMary lives in a village surrounded by a fence. The fence is symbolic of many things and becomes almost a character in the book. The fence is what protects the inhabitants from the Unconsecrated, who lurk outside the fence in the forest. The unconsecrated are individuals who have died from THE virus and then have come back to life almost immediately, lusting for human blood and flesh. Can we say ZOMBIES?\u003C\/p\u003EThis book is so dark and haunting, and it's hard to shake it after you read it. Once Mary's mother becomes one of the Unconsecrated, Mary finds her life starting to fall apart. She's haunted by the stories told to her by her mother of the Ocean. Mary is full of unrest as she dreams of one day seeing the Ocean. Unfortunately the only way to get there is through the forest.  \u003Cp\u003EOne day the horror they have all lived in fear of happens, the Unconsecrated breach the fence and attack the village. As they flee for their lives, Mary and her friends discover that the truths they had believed in are in fact lies, and they will have to find new truths as they make their way in a new world. \u003C\/p\u003E \u003Cp\u003EI had looked forward to reading this book for quite some time, and I have to say that it exceeded my expectations. The themes and symbolism in this book abound. You'll find yourself haunted by this world of the future.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cobject width=\"425\" height=\"344\"\u003E\u003Cparam name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/mUi3Ap2ga1U\u0026amp;color1=0xb1b1b1\u0026amp;color2=0xcfcfcf\u0026amp;hl=en\u0026amp;feature=player_embedded\u0026amp;fs=1\"\u003E\u003Cparam name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"\u003E\u003Cembed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/mUi3Ap2ga1U\u0026amp;color1=0xb1b1b1\u0026amp;color2=0xcfcfcf\u0026amp;hl=en\u0026amp;feature=player_embedded\u0026amp;fs=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"400\" height=\"344\"\u003E\u003C\/embed\u003E\u003C\/object\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.carrieryan.com\/\"\u003EAuthor's Website\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECheck out my review on Blog Critics\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/blogcritics.org\/archives\/2009\/04\/21\/185642.php\"\u003Ehttp:\/\/blogcritics.org\/archives\/2009\/04\/21\/185642.php\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/httpmartasmea-20\"\u003E\u003Cimg src=\"http:\/\/img48.imageshack.us\/img48\/6786\/z49d6d4dc47369.gif\" alt=\"Glitter Text Generator\" border=\"0\" width=\"227\" height=\"40\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.stumbleupon.com\/submit?url=http:\/\/martasmeanderings.blogspot.com%26title%3DThe%2BArticle%2BTitle\"\u003E \u003Cimg src=\"http:\/\/cdn.stumble-upon.com\/images\/120x20_thumb_blue.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/\"\u003E\u003Cimg src=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/img\/badges\/100x20-digg-button.png\" alt=\"Digg!\" width=\"100\" height=\"20\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/faves?add=http:\/\/martasmeanderings.blogspot.com\"\u003EAdd to Technorati Favorites\u003C\/a\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/martasmeanderings.blogspot.com\/feeds\/4278778092287887958\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/comment.g?blogID=4616247336548508893\u0026postID=4278778092287887958\u0026isPopup=true","title":"3 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/4616247336548508893\/posts\/default\/4278778092287887958"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/4616247336548508893\/posts\/default\/4278778092287887958"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/martasmeanderings.blogspot.com\/2009\/04\/review-of-forest-of-hands-and-teeth.html","title":"Review of The Forest of Hands and Teeth"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Unknown"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_MQ1h9AH7xDI\/SfKFx_MLVaI\/AAAAAAAABR0\/DlP_MZKdTzU\/s72-c\/forest_home.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"3"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616247336548508893.post-4392903832506831716"},"published":{"$t":"2009-03-30T16:19:00.000-04:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2009-03-30T16:19:00.459-04:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"anthology"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"david Fingerman"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"horror"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"scary"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"sci fi"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"short stories"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Review of Edging Past Reality - a collection of short stories"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Ca onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_MQ1h9AH7xDI\/Scj7Kk_97sI\/AAAAAAAAA84\/JcuCWfAOu8E\/s1600-h\/edging-book-cover.jpg\"\u003E\u003Cimg style=\"margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 87px; height: 139px;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_MQ1h9AH7xDI\/Scj7Kk_97sI\/AAAAAAAAA84\/JcuCWfAOu8E\/s320\/edging-book-cover.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316775519260110530\" border=\"0\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family:verdana;\"\u003Eby \u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;\" \u003EDavid A.

The stories are all fairly short so you can read it a little at a time and really savor the stories. All of the stories are different and equally creepy and scary. The author takes the most common things and turns them around and morphs them into something completely unrecognizable.  After reading this book you will definitely look at your normal world with a little more trepidation.

That said,  I wasn't sure how this was going to playout and if it was going to be believable.  I'm not the biggest sci fi fan.  Not my favorite genre.  That's part of why I was drawn to this book when the author offered it to me.  Expanding the horizons!  Well consider them expanded!  This book was fun and adventurous at the same time it was a sexy romance.  First we have Hanna, who is a Ufologist.  She interviews people who claim they were abducted.  Gideon is half Earther and half Olam.  Together they work together to save Earth from being taken over by the N'weretil and in the process discover they are Lifemates.  Lots of action and adventure in between some smokin' (literally) sex scenes.  I'd definitely recommend this book. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThanks to Barbara Romo for letting me read this!"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/martasmeanderings.blogspot.com\/feeds\/3337335882906003370\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/comment.g?blogID=4616247336548508893\u0026postID=3337335882906003370\u0026isPopup=true","title":"5 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/4616247336548508893\/posts\/default\/3337335882906003370"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/4616247336548508893\/posts\/default\/3337335882906003370"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/martasmeanderings.blogspot.com\/2009\/02\/review-undercover-alien.html","title":"Review:  Undercover Alien"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Unknown"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_MQ1h9AH7xDI\/SZot8QpmwYI\/AAAAAAAAAqs\/0k7PF0TTxR4\/s72-c\/41jKu%252B6TeZL__SL500_AA240_.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"5"}}]}});
