1) Paperback Book Adrenaline 2001: The Year's Best Stories of Adventure and Survival by Da Capo Press. This is another strong addition to the series. Mr. Willis has chosen well in his selections. If you (or your gift recipient)read Outside, Men´s Journal or Nat´l Geographic, or if you like the Discovery Channel - then this is a book for you. It´s thicker than last year´s anthology, a hefty 330 pages that go by quickly. The best part is always seeing pieces you haven´t seen before, especially book excerpts, because now I know some books I want for Xmas. Mr. Willis has used tantalizing excerpts that don´t always give away the ending, as is his habit and he doesn´t summarize the story, so it leaves you wanting more. I will say this - if you do read those adventure magazines during the year, you´ve seen about half a dozen of the 17 stories already. Oh well. The up-side to that is that you probably didn´t save the magazines, but now you have the best work in one volume. Great bang for the buck with this book, or with any book in the series - put them on your ´give´ or ´get´ list.¤ 2) Paperback Book Adrenaline 2001: The Year's Best Stories of Adventure and Survival by Da Capo Press. Building on the success of Adrenaline 2000, the first annual collection of the world´s best adventure writing, Adrenaline 2001 continues to extend the Adrenaline brand with more gripping contemporary tales: Jeffrey Tayler (Facing the Congo) finds more than he bargained for on one of the Dark Continent´s most dangerous waterways; Malika Oufkir and her siblings escape from a Morrocan jail after 15 years of wrongful imprisonment; Lynn Snowden Picket (Looking for a Fight) finds her own heart of darkness as an angry amateur boxer; Tom Clynes risks his own health to learn more about the Ebola virus, and Greg Child (Fear of Falling) encounters an unexpected challenge while climbing in Kyrgyzstan: terrorists. Like other Adrenaline titles, this one taps one of our greatest literary resources: exceptional human beings in extreme circumstances. ¤Page Updated: Robert N.
