THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK – graphic novel

I really liked this book. I’ve been interested in reading more graphic novels lately, but have been somewhat disappointed by the offerings. This looked interesting, but I know that graphic novel covers are often not what the interior art looks like. Not so in this case. The artwork inside is just as nice as this Continue reading

PLANET HAVOC – Tim Waggoner

I have no idea what it means that this is “A Zombicide Invader Novel” except that is must be part of a series or from a video game or tv show. I wanted to read this because author Tim Waggoner is one of my newer favorite authors – and he hooked me right away with Continue reading

STRANGERS FROM THE SKY – Margaret Wander Bonanno

STAR TREK WEEK There was a time that I read every Star Trek novel as soon as they were published. Until the mid-1980’s, these all featured Captain Kirk, Spock, and the rest of the crew from the original series and with only two or three a year, it was easy to keep up with the Continue reading

THE PRICE OF THE PHOENIX – Sondra Marshak & Myrna Culbreath

STAR TREK WEEK In 1977, when this book was first published, we Star Trek fans were still hungry for anything we could get that was Star Trek related.
