The last humans from a dead planet Earth have been traveling through space for centuries on an ‘ark’ but now they’ve finally arrived at their destination – Tau Ceti.

PROJECT MERCURY – Eugen Reichl
Eugen Reichl’s book Project Mercury is a thorough, very detailed look at the early stages of America’s space race. The amount of information here is absolutely incredible. Reichl reports on each rocket and in addition to his narrative describing the purpose, concerns and success or failure for each mission, he also includes a technical summary Continue reading

NAKED ONCE MORE – Elizabeth Peters
THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEW A REISSUE When I requested this book (two, almost three yeas ago!) I hadn’t read many mysteries but this was among those that was going to start me down that path. I lost the book when the Kindle it was on gave up its digital ghost and only recently figured out how Continue reading

BEHIND THE CANVAS – Alexander Vance
Claudia Miravista loves it when her class takes a trip to the art museum because Claudia loves art. But when she sees a boy go in and out of view in some paintings, she is ridiculed by her peers when she tries to tell them about it. But the boy, Pim, is real, and Claudia Continue reading

DOUBLE DOWN – Gwenda Bond
Gwenda Bond is the author of a Lois Lane series of books of which, Double Down is book #2. I was not aware that this was a series when I requested the review copy, but I don’t think it’s necessarily vital to have read the first book before reading this. Lois Lane is already a Continue reading

COSMOCOPIA – Paul Di Filippo
THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEWING A REISSUE Aging artist Frank Lazorg starts using a new pigment that was sent to him mysteriously. But the pigment has the effect of a psychotic drug and Lazorg, after inviting back one of his favorite models to be painted, he commits a horrible act and finds himself falling through a woman-shaped hole and Continue reading

BRITT-MARIE WAS HERE – Fredrik Backman
I loved author Fredrik Backman’s A Man Called Ove, so when I had the opportunity to read the latest translated book (Backman is Swedish and writes in his native tongue), I jumped at the chance. So often, when a writer strikes gold early on, subsequent books don’t live up to the expectation. I’m delighted to Continue reading

WHO WANTS TO BE THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS? – Michael Boatman
I will admit that I was hesitant to request this book because I was not particularly fond of Last God Standing, author Michael Boatman’s previous book. But I think it’s only fair to give an author more than one read, and I typically really like the books published by Angry Robot. In Who Wants to Continue reading

THE ACCIDENTAL ALCHEMIST – Gigi Pandian
Part mystery, part fantasy, part Vegan lifestyle book, part cookbook. Both the charm, and the problem with this book is its multiple focal points. Zoe Faust is centuries old but continues to move and re-introduce herself to new surroundings as her own grand-daughter. Currently, she is a new resident to Portland, Oregon, but among her Continue reading
