PLAYING TO THE GODS – Peter Rader
Sarah Bernhardt. Eleonora Duse. Most people are familiar with Sarah’s name, even if they don’t know why she is famous. Only a few dedicated history or theatre buffs probably know the name of Eleonora Duse. But at one time their rivalry was watched and reported internationally and the art of acting, as we know it… Continue reading

LOCKED IN ICE – Peter Lourie
How many readers out there know the name, Fridtjof Nansen? If you already know who he is, or what he is remembered for, then color me impressed! Nansen was, among other things, a scientist and an explorer at a time when mankind was still trying to reach the North Pole. He was the first to… Continue reading

THE OUTLAW AND THE UPSTART KING – Rod Duncan
I’ll begin by saying that I think Rod Duncan is one of the freshest voices currently writing in science fantasy. If I see Duncan’s name on a book, I’m probably going to buy it (and there aren’t many authors about whom I would say that). The Outlaw and the Upstart King is the second volume… Continue reading

IRON GOLD – Pierce Brown
Pierce Brown’s Red Rising series is a bit of a phenomenon. Brown’s Red Rising seemed to come out of nowhere and quickly got a lot of attention and gained a following (or so it appears to me). I’ve mostly enjoyed the ride and very much enjoyed this latest edition in the series. It is ten… Continue reading

HOW TO GIVE UP PLASTIC – Will McCallum
I think that most of us know that plastic pollution is a problem that we are currently facing in a way that no other generation has had to face. We’re made aware that we should bring our own canvas bags to the grocery store instead of taking a plastic bag because it’s bad for the… Continue reading

JimBone Wheeler is about as bad… Continue reading

THE CATALOGUE OF SHIPWRECKED BOOKS – Edward Wilson-Lee
Hernando Colón had a passion for books and a vision for an organized library. Hernando Colón was also Christopher Columbus’s illegitimate son. Author/researcher Edward Wilson-Lee does a tremendous, detailed job of tracking down this story and getting in-depth on Hernando’s story. While the name Christopher Columbus is known by every American school child, we know… Continue reading

THE PENGUIN BOOK OF OUTER SPACE EXPLORATION – John Logsdon, editor
It is pretty hard to miss the fact that we are currently celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first crewed moon landing (July 20, 1969). There are abundant films, books, and memorabilia celebrating this feat. The Penguin Book of Outer Space Exploration is certainly timed to coincide with this anniversary, though it explores a much… Continue reading

THE QUEEN OF ALL CROWS – Rod Duncan
Rod Duncan’s earlier book, The Bullet-Catcher’s Daughter, was one of the most powerful books I’d read in a long time. The follow-up books were just as strong and just like that Rod Duncan became one of my most eagerly-anticipated authors. The Queen of All Crows continues with the same core set of characters as the… Continue reading

MURDER AT THE PALACE – Margaret Dumas
I really enjoyed this book. Nora Paige loves old movies. When her movie-star husband dumps her for a co-star starlet Nora takes refuge in San Francisco where she takes over as the manager of a historic movie theater that shows old movies – just the kind that she likes most. Here she befriends a band… Continue reading

THE PHILOSOPHER’S WAR – Tom Miller
A new book in The Philosophers Series by Tom Miller?! Yes, please! I was so impressed with Miller’s The Philosopher’s Flight that I immediately requested the follow-up volume and sat down and read it through, putting all my other books aside. And it was worth it! The story so far… Robert Weekes, who we last… Continue reading

FINDING DOROTHY – Elizabeth Letts
This is such a beautiful book. It is in part a double biography (of both Lyman Frank Baum and his wife Maud Gage Baum) as well as a look backstage at the filming of one of the most iconic films of all time. And of course it’s fiction, with a beginning, middle, and end to… Continue reading
