SIXTEENTH WATCH – Myke Cole
Military science fiction certainly has a long history. I grew up reading the Tom Corbett, Space Cadet series, and Isaac Asimov’s (as Paul French) David Starr, Space Ranger books, Robert Heinlein, and then the military sci-fi of Jerry Pournelle in the 1970’s. Despite this background, I would not consider myself a fan of the military… Continue reading

HUSH MONEY – Robert B. Parker
Not too long ago I read a book by a different author and I talked about it being a good hard-boiled detective story with a tough, intelligent PI.

NATURE’S BEST HOPE – Douglas W. Tallamay
I’ve read a few books that bring to light environmental concerns with proposals for how to turn things around. But usually those plans are larger than I’m comfortable taking on, or, I’m sad to admit, more time-consuming than I’m really willing to give. In Douglas W. Tallamy’s Nature’s Best Hope, the answers to to restoring… Continue reading

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE TAVERN STAYS AT THE TAVERN – Jennifer Levine, editor
Erotica. Epic fantasy (ala Robert E. Howard, or Lin Carter, or J.R.R. Tolkein). Encounters in a tavern. What’s not to like? I’ve only read a little bit of erotica and most of it has not been very memorable. This caught my eye because of the fantasy element. I’ve been a fan of this kind of… Continue reading
