...some 400 million years ago, and in the intervening time has become well equipped to survive. (In fact, the durable cockroach evolved into something very similar to its current unpleasant form some 320 million years ago and apparently saw little need for further improvement.) An insect has a strong exterior skeleton and seems disproportionately powerful in relation to its size (an ant can lift 50 times its own weight). Its capacity for flight (most but not all insects can fly), attained about 100 million years before the first flying reptiles or birds, enables it to escape its enemies and range...
...dreams. Like any publication, there are failures, but most of these words-put-together share successfully what Roberts' opening editorial calls "an attempt to liberate black from the confines of its sound, to bury stereotypes in porcelain blankets, where they belong, to move freedom past the dissolvement of exterior to the cultivation of interior--where differences multiply and thrive...

Blackthorne is no simple salt but a bona fide Saturday-afternoon-at-the-movies hero with a "brooding, explosive violence that always lurked below his quiet exterior." His strength is as the strength of ten, and his brain is not bad either; he speaks English, Spanish, Dutch and Latin fluently. Hardly has he learned to say Konnichiwa (Good day) before Blackthorne is up to his clavicle in inscrutable Eastern intrigues...
