Publisher Description

Following the phenomenal success of The Walker and The Visitor (both available from Bolinda Audio) comes the third Briony Williams thriller, The Calling.

Goodall's popular leading lady, Briony Williams, is now a detective with the Chelsea CID. She has grown in confidence and rank from when she first appeared in The Walker as a rookie cop.

In the fierce English summer of 1976 the Punk movement is on the rise and chaos is the catchcry down in its heartland at the World's End of London. But things take a darker turn as a new group calling themselves Sudden Deff show signs of wanting to live up to their name. When Briony learns that she and two close colleagues have appeared on 'Deff Row' in the group's fanzine, she is drawn into a fatal game with a set of adversaries who always seem to be two moves ahead.

"I really liked this book as I learned a ton about new animals, new places, and things that are being done to save species. Jane Goodall writes so well. I just checked her website and she will be in Tucson at PCC on April 28th for a keynote address - Oh how I wish I could go! "

    " A pretty good book. I think the ending was slightly rushed though, the climax was too short. "

    " Finally some success stories for the animals and the people who dedicate their whole lives to doing something so worthwhile..... I just wish we could break down so much ignorance and red tape so that EVERYone was working towards the same thing. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " Inspiring to see how hard people are working to save the planet and that they are having at least some success. It is a little bit annoying to hear all the details of how she made time to see each person and how she has founded so many groups around the world. "

  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " Important information, but for each animal she discusses it's really the same story as to why they are on the brink of extinction, so I found it a bit boring. "

    " This is definitely a book to read in small amounts. After a while the chapters blended together a bit for me. "

    " This was almost a 5, but I got really irritated towards the end when Jane kept saying we "could get the full story on the website". There were many sections of the book that I really enjoyed, especially the section on island ecology. "

    " Didn't finish, took it back to the library. I like feel-good stories about animals, so I'll probably revisit it at some point. "

    " An inspiring book cataloging the way humans have interfered in a positive way to assist species on the brink of extinction. Heart-warming, uplifting and informational. "

    " Jane Goodall is wonderful. Harvest for Hope changed forever the way that I look at food, and this book made me instantly want to go back to school to become a conservation biologist. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " This book is inspiring, but primarily for people who really, really, really care about animals. The mainstream reader will likely tire of the many stories of birds, beetles, etc. by the 4th or 5th chapter. However, anything Jane Austen writes is worth a read in my book! "
