With all those caveats in mind, however, it seems clear that the benefits of calcium and vitamin D supplements are small for most women and probably fairly modest even for those at greatest risk of cancer or bone loss. In addition, the studies found that women who take extra calcium have a 17% greater risk of developing kidney stones. Fortunately, there are other ways to increase bone density.

So it's a bit of a surprise to find that his third novel, Apex Hides the Hurt (Doubleday), is a rather modest affair, slender and conceptual in nature. Wouldn't this be the moment, tactically speaking, to kick out the jams with a massive, world-electrifying tome? It's also a bit of a surprise to find that it's pretty...
