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. That got me thinking about my favorite tough-guy series … Spenser. It’s been 30 years since I read a Spenser novel I think (about the last time… Continue reading

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

A VOICE IN THE NIGHT – Jack McDevitt
I am only somewhat familiar with author Jack McDevitt through his Alex Benedict series, which I have really been enjoying. When I saw the opportunity to read a collection of McDevitt’s short stories, I was eager to take advantage of it. Most of the stories here have been published previously in a variety of magazines,… Continue reading

LOUIS L’AMOUR’S LOST TREASURES VOLUME 2 – Louis L’Amour and Beau L’Amour
I’m the type of reader who is always fascinated by the writing process, so looking at early and unfinished works by a prolific author is something that really interests me. This is the second volume of “Lost Treasures” from the Louis L’Amour and much like the first volume, this contains a wide selection of works… Continue reading

SPARK AND THE LEAGUE OF URSUS – Robert Repino
I’m don’t remember what it was about this book that caught my interest but it was a really enjoyable read. Every child knows the comfort of a teddy bear, especially against the monsters under the bed, but few people know that teddy bears have a league (the League of Ursus) in which the teddy bear… Continue reading

THE TRAITOR GOD – Cameron Johnston
In a book store full of fantasies in which a lovable rogue, who’s an unwilling hero, battles against a powerful wizard/mage/god, Cameron Johnston’s The Traitor God comes out just slightly above average.

THE WILD DEAD – Carrie Vaughn
It was about a year and a half ago when I read Carrie Vaughn’s Bannerless and was really taken by surprise in a good way. I knew nothing about the book and was only familiar with Vaughn’s name as someone I hadn’t yet read. This time I went in to the book with some idea… Continue reading

LAST SONG SUNG – David A. Poulsen
It’s always a gamble to pick up a book in mid-series these days. Sometimes a story relies on the reader’s prior knowledge of previous books and sometimes you can jump right in and get everything you need through the course of the story. David A. Poulsen’s mystery, Last Song Sung, falls somewhere in between. Freelance… Continue reading

NUKING THE MOON – Vince Houghton
Who doesn’t like reading about secret government plots and massively ridiculous ideas that were once seriously considered? Well, if you don’t, then just move on as this clearly isn’t for you. But if the idea of reading about stupid, top-secret government plans puts an evil grin on your face, then consider this! Whether it’s the… Continue reading
