NOMADS OF GOR – John Norman
Wow. I didn’t think too highly of book three in the Gorean saga because I didn’t think there was much plot, but compared to this volume, book three is an absolute epic. If there’s a story here other than the taming of a shrew, it’s pretty well hidden. So, Tarl Cabot, once of Earth, now Continue reading

BLACK KISS OMNIBUS – graphic novel
Warning: This review addresses adult sexual and violent content. Let me be very clear … I knew NOTHING about this book, or the series of comics. I recognize Howard Chaykin’s name as an artist with both DC and Marvel comics back in the 1970’s (when I was a regular comic reader). The cover suggested an Continue reading

KIM STANLEY ROBINSON: APPRENTICESHIPS IN NARRATIVE – Andrew Rowcroft
I am a sucker for anything by or about Kim Stanley Robinson. Since I first read The Gold Coast sometime in the late 1980’s or early 90’s; I haven’t missed any of his books since. So, when I see a book about Robinson, or examining his work, I’m all in. What I don’t like, is reading a Continue reading

THE NEWSPAPER GIRL – Colton Balvanz
Many years ago Amazon created something called “Kindle Worlds” which was essentially a legitimate means of publishing fan fiction. The idea was that certain works of fiction were licensed by Amazon so that authors could write fiction in the world(s), and using characters created by the original author. Sort of like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead but Continue reading
