WITCHES PROTECTION PROGRAM – Michael Phillip Cash
What happens in the supernatural world if someone rats out someone else? They get placed in the witches protection program, of course. This is the basic premise. Wes Rockville is given one last chance to redeem himself in his law enforcement career. He’s bumbled almost every other assignment, but his father, and boss, grudgingly gives… Continue reading

UNSEEMLY SCIENCE – Rod Duncan
Unseemly Science, by Rod Duncan, is the second book in “The Fall of the Gas-Lit Empire” series and I felt that book one was one of the most original sci-fi/fantasy novels I had read in a long time (see that review here). This second venture into Duncan’s world definitely takes a darker turn, but holds on… Continue reading

EAST OF WEST, VOL 4 – graphic novel
A year and a half ago I reviewed volume one of this graphic novel series (see review here) and I commented on how gorgeous the art by Nick Dragotta was throughout the book but that I didn’t quite understand what was happening. It’s good news to report that the art is still by Dragotta and… Continue reading

THE CHAPLAIN’S WAR – Brad R. Torgersen
A year or two ago I sent Brad Torgersen a message telling him that I thought he was one of the best new writers of sci-fi writing in the field today. I had read a number of his works that were up for consideration for the Hugo Award and felt that they were really outstanding… Continue reading

ANDERSONVILLE – Edward M. Erdelac
This is how you write a horror novel. I’ve read a fair number of horror/dark fantasy novels recently, and it seems that I keep repeating the thought that writing and sustaining horror for the length of a novel is extremely difficult, and most of the books I’ve read haven’t quite succeeded in this task. Author… Continue reading

14 – Peter Clines
I knew nothing about this book, or the author, before digging in to it. And reading it on my Kindle, I didn’t even have the cover copy to give me a hint. What I found inside was as much a surprise as what Nate tucker and friends discover behind the door to room 14! Nate… Continue reading

LOCK IN – John Scalzi
I was doing some significant (for me) commuting the last few months and so I made some good use of my Audible account and picked up some books to listen to. Lock In is only my second book by John Scalzi, but it won’t be my last. Lock In is about social issues and the… Continue reading

THE NIGHT OF LONG KNIVES – Fritz Leiber
THROWBACK THURSDAY: REVIEWING A REISSUE Dover Publications is a reprint publisher and I’ve really enjoyed a number of the works that they’ve selected for re-publication. This novella from Fritz Leiber, a giant in the golden age of fantasy and science fiction, is a once-lost treasure. Leiber is often associated with fantasy, and more precisely, Sword… Continue reading

MUIRWOOD: THE LOST ABBEY – graphic novel
GRAPHIC NOVEL WEEK Author Jeff Wheeler and his publisher, Jet City Comics, is trying something a little different. 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
