They are trying to use the Kindle in a slightly new format, producing a serial graphic novel that will be delivered to Kindles monthly. This title is set for five consecutive issues. So…a monthly comic… Continue reading

COPPERHEAD: VOL. 1 – graphic novel
GRAPHIC NOVEL WEEK Copperhead, a graphic novel by Jay Faerber & Scott Godlewski is quite possibly the best new series I’ve read this year. Part science fiction, part western, part mystery/detective story, Copperhead manages to blend the different genres together nicely to create an engrossing story that we just want to keep reading. But what works… Continue reading

STAR TREK/PLANET OF THE APES: THE PRIMATE DIRECTIVE – graphic novel
GRAPHIC NOVEL WEEK Apparently I’m not the only sci-fi geek old enough to remember the original Star Trek AND the Planet of the Apes franchise, otherwise why would anyone bother to do a cross-over with these two science fiction classics from the 1960’s-70’s? At the time, I was just the right age and stereotype to be… Continue reading

HE DRANK AND SAW THE SPIDER – Alex Bledsoe
When I received a digital ARC (Advance Reading Copy) of a book, I don’t usually know much about the book or the author unless I am previously familiar with them. With this particular book, I came in completely blind. I have only later learned that this is the fifth book in a series about the… Continue reading

THE RED PYRAMID – Rick Riordan
Rick Riordan is a big hit with my kids. I read the Percy Jackson series that my children enjoyed so much (I thought it was well done and offered a great way for young readers to start making sense of the complicated relationships in classic mythology. And on the heels of this success, Riordan… Continue reading

THE RETURNED, PART 1 – Peter David
I definitely have a soft spot for Star Trek books, being the ST nerd/geek that I am, and for quite a while I read most of the books that came out. Then the market got glutted with books and I weaned myself off of them, stopping altogether until I began this blog. One of the… Continue reading

RETURNER’S WEALTH – Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell
This particular book has been in my ‘to read’ queue for a couple of years and I finally decided I just needed to read it and get it off my list. Part of the reason it was in the queue for so long is that no matter how many times I looked at it or… Continue reading

SEEKER – Jack McDevitt
THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEWING A BOOK FROM MY SHELF I’ve been familiar with the name of author Jack McDevitt, but I’d never read any of his works. I can’t say how or when this book found its way in to my home, but it did and I chose to read it, and boy … I sure… Continue reading

STUDENT BODIES – Sean Cummings
Somehow I’ve been getting in to the middle of series’ lately. Student Bodies, by Sean Cummings, is the second book in a series, though I did not know that when I started reading (sometimes I find it more enjoyable to pick up a book and just start reading, rather than researching the book first, and… Continue reading

A NEW DAWN: STAR WARS – John Jackson Miller
After the first three Star Wars movies came out, I read any Star Wars book I could get my hands on. Anyone else remember those Brian Daley novels? Then, for a very long time, I didn’t read a single tv or movie tie-in. Now, thanks to book reviewing web site, I’ve had access to a… Continue reading

FINCHES OF MARS – Brian W. Aldiss
Though I am familiar with the name of Brian W. Aldiss, I cannot say that I am at all familiar with his work. About the time that I came to recognize his name, I was no longer reading the science fiction of Clarke and Asimov that might have brought me to Aldiss, but instead I… Continue reading
