 COLD (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
COLD, first published in 1996, was the sixteenth and final novel by John Gardner featuring Ian Fleming's secret agent, James Bond (including Gardner's novelizations of Licence to Kill and GoldenEye).
Carrying the Glidrose Publications copyright, it was first published in the United Kingdom by Hodder and Stoughton and in the United States by Putnam.
This was the first time a Bond novel had been given a different title for American book publication since Fleming's Moonraker was initially published there under the title Too Hot to Handle in the mid-1950s.

 Outpost Gallifrey: Reviews
This whole aspect of the novel is hugely fascinating as a very old Gallifreyan who regenerates for the first time during the novel, the mystery that Parkin builds up about her regarding who she is and what her relationship with the Doctor truly is make this a very notable novel.
Sometimes novels featuring 'events' can fall quite flat because they do not pay enough attention to their plot which is the foundation of a good Doctor Who novel, and with the elements going into Cold Fusion, there was a real risk that this could happen here.
Cold Fusion is in itself a strange novel, in that there hasn't really been a multi-Doctor story quite like it before or since, and the unusual nature of the situation really makes this a distinctive book.

 "Concealment and Revelation": Functions of Cold Imagery in Jane Eyre
In other words, a dimension of cold, such as its relationship to religious hypocrisy, is associated with a given object while Jane is at Lowood; and elsewhere in the novel, cold appears in a manner serving the same function, with the same association.
This means that a dimension of cold may be associated with the cultural context of the novel, not necessarily being tied to anything in the novel itself; and heretofore such an analysis of this approach has not been pursued.
Cold imagery appears in the novel when Jane feels she is without hope, and consequently recedes when she feels the stirring of hope.

 Flak Magazine: Review of Cold Mountain, 01.08.04
Similarly, the strongest aspect of Frazier's writing is his physical descriptions of Cold Mountain, usually from the perspective of a porch near its base.
In this, as Newsweek praised it, Frazier's novel "attains the status of literature."
Homer's myth began as an oral history and has been passed to us as a epic poem; Frazier's novel too is an epic poem, but he buries his poetry under heaps of prose, like the green grass of Cold Mountain underneath a foot of snow.

 Varian, Inc. NMR Cold Probes
The Salt Tolerant Cold Probe retains all the features and benefits of a standard cold probe through its unique RF design that allows it to be used with both the standard round and novel patented rectangular 3x6 S-tubes™.

The Cold Probe's ability to accommodate a variety of sample modalities creates an unusually versatile and easy-to-use probe that is compatible with 3- and 5-mm NMR sample tubes or, alternatively, flow NMR applications with the addition of the Cold Probe IFC accessory and results.

Four years after agreeing to sell his second novel to Random House for an advance of more than $8 million, Charles Frazier, the author of the best-selling "Cold Mountain," has handed in the first half of his final manuscript, and is expected to turn in the remaining half next week.
The new novel, like "Cold Mountain," takes place in the 19th-century American South and is the story of a young white man raised by Cherokee Indians who ends up representing them in Washington in their fight to preserve their land.
"Cold Mountain," which was also made into a movie starring Nicole Kidman and Jude Law, spent 61 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list in hardcover, and a total of 33 weeks on the paperback list.

 Tom Piazza   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
It is, finally, a private odyssey: a tragic one in which people are corrupted and hearts broken when self-righteousness masquerades as fashionably ironic self-awareness.
On the surface it is all nostalgia and family episodes, but its construction is musical, with ‘movements’ that build on each other, allowing Piazza plenty of space to improvise variations on his theme.
“Piazza’s novel is at least four different fabulous animals – the academic novel, the Catholic memoir, the journey into the Heart of Darkness and the Cheeveresque hallucination/revelation in which reality manifests itself as suburban illusion.

 Writing history: Capote's novel has lasting effect on journalism | LJWorld.com
Madeleine Blais teaches Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" in journalism classes because it is compelling and beautiful, she said, a masterpiece.
But, with "In Cold Blood" about to turn 40 years old, those leading the movement once known as "new journalism" agree that the book deserves to be remembered for its contributions to the genre as well as for its faults.
The book took the form of a novel, featuring set scenes, characters, a distinctive voice and a story formed with an introduction, rising action, climax and resolution -- the real events surrounding the murder of the Herb Clutter family shaped into a storyline.

 Laurie Morrow & Edward Morrow on Hillary Clinton on National Review Online
When picking up Clinton's novel, we had hoped for a better treatment of the events of the mythological kingdom of Lesser Camelot than was presented in an earlier novel, Monica's Story, by M. Lewinsky, a bodice-ripper which also advanced a female victim-protagonist who blames others for problems of her own making.
Her relationship with her absurdly priapic husband — who saves the novel from tedium as a comic-relief character — never feels genuine, but seems mainly a device to enable the author to insert the protagonist into an interesting setting.
Consider, for example, the protagonist's words concerning of one of the novel's most intense dramatic moments, her reflection on the protracted public humiliation to which her husband's infidelity has yet again subjected her: "I also worried that the armor I had acquired might distance me from my true emotions.

 "In Cold Blood" - Salon
"In Cold Blood" began, as the story goes, when Truman Capote came across a 300-word article in the back of the New York Times describing the unexplained murder of a family of four in rural Kansas.
He spent six years researching "In Cold Blood," and claimed to have invented a genre, the nonfiction novel; later, Tom Wolfe and others would include "In Cold Blood" in their own movement, known as New Journalism.
His meticulous, even obsessive reporting allowed his characters to tell the story, and the result is the best true-crime novel you ever couldn't put down.
