Review: Finally!
So, last week I read two space opera novels and had planned to review them on my usual Friday, but time ran out. I work most weekends, and this last week, that meant Friday most of the day, too. Nice, for making-a-living, but meant I was pretty much away from computer for three days. I…

Friday Review: Go West!
First, the sequel to Take the Star Road, last week’s review, is out! I haven’t started to read it yet, but I’m sure I will enjoy it just as much as the last book. Peter Grant also reviewed Vulcan’s Kittens, an unexpected pleasure for me, as I hadn’t anticipated he would want to read it,…

Review: Take the Star Road
I picked Take the Star Road, by Peter Grant, to read for this review because I love science fiction that harks back to the age of exploration, that celebrates humanity’s hunger for the stars, and most of all, tells a good story. I was rewarded with everything I had hoped for in this book. The…

Redneck Manifesto Review
I had to review a book for my Cultural Anthropology class. I thought I would share the review here, along with a link to the book so you can explore it yourself. It’s a fascinating diatribe, and one that is tartly, refreshingly, honest. I self-identify as belonging to that unique tribe, the Alaskan redneck, so…

Review of Puss & Boots in the 23rd Century
I interviewed John McClure over at Amazing Stories, and as promised, here is the review of his first novel, Puss & Boots in the 23rd Century. P&B, as he calls it, and I will as well for sake of brevity, is a rousing good tale of a dystopian world in the throes of recovery. Not,…

Review: The Dark Lady
Pam Uphoff has created an excellent SF series in the Wine of the Gods, starting with Outcast and Gods. Although it is science fiction, it has a fantasy feel, as the genetically engineered protagonists can manipulate the universe around them in a way that looks like magic. I just recently read the latest, The Dark…

Review: Monster Hunter Legion
When I am eating I always save the best until last. That is the only way to explain why I waited so long to read Monster Hunter Legion. I bought the book months ago, and got distracted with life… I picked it up when Larry Correia had actually come to New Hampshire, so of course…
