THE STRIVERS’ ROW SPY – Jason Overstreet
The Strivers’ Row Spy is the debut novel for author Jason Overstreet and is a hit from page one all the way to the end. Sidney Temple is one of the first black men to graduate from Middlebury College in 1919 and he’s driven to make sure that the sacrifices his mother made in order Continue reading

THE COLLAPSING EMPIRE – John Scalzi
We’re many years in the future, but the laws of physics still hold true and it is not possible for anything to travel faster than the speed of light. Still, mankind has managed to cobble together an empire spread throughout the galaxy. Some are on planets, some inside planets, some in space stations. Earth is Continue reading

ONCE BROKEN FAITH – Seanan McGuire
I’ve become quite a fan of Seanan McGuire/Mira Grant, and while the October Daye series has been on my radar to begin reading, I’ll have to admit that this is my first October Daye book (and it’s the tenth in the series). While this book is mostly pretty straight-forward and a self-contained story, it was Continue reading

BREAKTHROUGH!: CANADA’S GREATEST INVENTIONS AND INNOVATORS – John Melady
It’s sad how little I know about our neighbors to the north – Canadians and their country. And I live in a border state. But this book, Breakthrough!, by John Melady, lets us all in on a little secret … Canadians have done an awful lot to make the world a better place. In a Continue reading

STEAL THE SKY – Megan E. O’Keefe
I was really looking forward to this book – epic fantasy, rogue-ish pirates, a publisher who puts out very good work, and a new author (I enjoy finding new authors to follow). But sadly this book did not hold my interest or attention. Detan Honding is of royal birth, but he’s a bit of a con-man/pirate Continue reading

BIRD MIGRATION AND GLOBAL CHANGE – George W. Cox
Climate change and the destruction of natural habitat is affecting bird migration and breeding patterns. Well … that’s about it. Seriously though, this book provides a great deal of research to back up what most of the intelligent population already believes. There isn’t anything too surprising here. If you are already a bird watcher or Continue reading

5-MINUTE PLAYS FOR TEENS – Lawrence Harbison, editor
There is a special knack to reading plays and unless you are used to it, it can be frustrating. But for those of us who enjoy reading plays, it can be difficult to find reading material that isn’t one of the classics that we’ve all already read a dozen times, or not the latest Pulitzer Continue reading

EAT THE NIGHT – Tim Waggoner
I really enjoyed Tim Waggoner’s two books in his “Shadow Watch” series and so was eager to catch this dark fantasy/horror novel, Eat the Night, published by Darkfuse – one of the leading publishers of dark tales. Joan Lantz has been having troubling dreams of a mass suicide in the jungles of Suriname – led Continue reading

THE LAST RIDE OF CALEB O’TOOLE – Eric Pierpoint
I went in to this book really hoping to like it because, well, I really like author Eric Pierpoint as an actor. But I didn’t. I love books for kids and I often feel like I’m one of the last readers of western fiction, so this tale of a young boy and his sister, set Continue reading

ASTROTWINS: PROJECT RESCUE – Mark Kelly
A children’s book about pre-teen astronauts written by an actual astronaut?! Heck, yeah! It is 1976 and the Cold War and Space Race are in full swing. Twin brothers Mark and Scott Kelly are bright and curious and along with their friends Barry and ‘Egg’ and their grandfather (from whom they appear to have inherited Continue reading

THE FOREVER WAR – Joe Haldeman
THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEWING A REISSUE I remember the first time I read this book, back when it first was published (or at least first available through the Science Fiction Book Club). It was the mid-1970’s and this was only the second book I ever read, cover-to-cover in one sitting. I was completely enthralled. There were Continue reading
