In The Code of the Woosters Jeeves again manages to solve all problems (even if there was some anxiety on the part of Bertie.) Bertie is summoned to help Gussie win back his fiancé and to steal a cow creamer by his Aunt Dahlia. Everything though ends up twisted and turned upside down as both the cow creamer and a policeman's helmet get pinched and Bertie of course gets blamed for all of it. Bertram refused to have anything to do with both of the thefts, as the owner of the house he was staying at already thought he was a menace.
This book contains perhaps some of my favorite scenes involving Jeeves and Wooster. One of which involves Jeeves crouching on top of a dresser because of a dog which had him and Bertie cornered.

Leland 'Mike' Erikson, a high school teacher with a high IQ and an eidetic memory, is recruited by a long time friend (Reggie) to do a review of a highly confidential project which is coming up for a change in funding from the Government. After a good deal of hesitation on Mike's part; he eventually says yes and ends up on at a research facility outside of San Diego.
Here he finds himself an outsider from a group of scientists who are convinced he is going to shut down the project and trying to determine if the Albuquerque Door does what they say is does. That is when everything starts to go wrong.
This novel is a must read for anyone who enjoys good science fiction. It is plausible enough to happen in real life, but still is outlandish enough to question if it could actually happen.
I enjoyed reading this novel and found the subtle humor, numerous pop culture references, and intriguing storyline to make a perfect fit. The story at times was a little slow, but made up for it with an amazing fast paced ending. And although it had some technical jargon which I only partially understood as I never took any high-level math or science classes.

Kin Arad is in charge of resurfacing a new planet for colonization when Jago Jalo shows up and spins a slightly fantastical tale. Being extremely curious to know if any of it is true she decides to take him up on his offer of visiting a world which is flat.
When showing up at the place and time mentioned, she is thrust into a situation she never imagined. It involves a Kung who thinks he is human and a Shand who is quite civilized, considering the species. They eventually make their way to the planet after the untimely death of Jago.
While on the planet they run afoul of the native people on numerous occasions, but eventually find their way to the center and discover who the maker of the flat world is.
A superbly written novel with a hint of satire. While the story is engaging and interesting;the real world problems it pokes fun at are still as revelant today as when it was written thirty years ago.
