Seconds (1966) This SF thriller directed by John Frankenheimer, stars Rock Hudson. What if
someone offered you the chance to begin again, with a new life that was organized to be exactly
what you wanted it to be? That's what the organization offers some wealthy people. They find a life
that is what their clients would have wanted, artist, writer, politician, kill the person who is to be
replaced and surgically alter their clients to take their places. We follow a new client from first
contact, through his staged death, to surgery, recovery and replacement. Of course thats when
things become complicated.

This group meets on the second Monday of each month to discuss a specific mystery, horror, or
intrigue novel. This month's selection is Surviving Demon Island by Jaci Burton. Burton has an
uncanny aptitude for intertwining the human and the paranormal so seamlessly that sudden
demon attacks and labyrinthine underworlds are perfectly believable. Realistic dialogue, spicy
bedroom scenes and a spitfire heroine make this one to pick up and savor.”—Publishers

EIFELHEIM by Michael Flynn. A present-day scientific odd couple who are longtime domestic
partners, physicist Sharon Nagy and historian Tom Schwoerin, look into the fate of the Black
Forest village of the title, which apparently vanished in the plague year 1348, in Flynn's
heartbreaking morality play of stranded aliens in medieval Germany. Most of the narrative focuses
on the consequences of the discovery in the 14th century by Eifelheim's pastor, Father Dietrich, of
a crashed space ship carrying the "Krenken," horrific grasshopperlike aliens. Despite Inquisitorial
threats, Dietrich befriends, baptizes and attempts to help the aliens return home. Flynn (The
Wreck of the River of Stars) masterfully achieves an intricate panorama of medieval life, full of
fascinatingly realized human and Krenken characters whose fates interconnect with poignant
irony.(Publishers Weekly)
