This is an absolutely beautiful YA fantasy.

THE WHISPERING SWARM – Michael Moorcock
It has been awhile since I read a Michael Moorcock book, but back in the 1970’s I was quite enamored not just of hs popular Elric series, but his Cornelius books and Eternal Champion books as well. When I saw that there was this new Moorcock book available, I was eager to get in to… Continue reading

STEAMPUNK SOLDIERS – Philip Smith & Joseph A. McCullough
Imagine a coffee-table style book of weapons and uniforms (I don’t have to imagine too hard, I recently reviewed a book on weapons). Now imagine an art book of steampunk paintings. And now … put the two together and you have this book. The idea is really interesting. Author Philip Smith has created a strong… Continue reading

STAR TREK: SHADOW OF THE MACHINE – Scott Harrison
Star Trek fiction is my comfort blanket. This is what I read when I’m looking to read something that I don’t have to think too hard about but will typically satisfy. I think most people have something they like to turn to for comfort reading, whether it is religious or romance or scientific journals. I’ve thought… Continue reading

DREAM STALKERS – Tim Waggoner
I love this world! Author Tim Waggoner continues the antics of his Shadow Watch series with this second installment, Dream Stalkers. I really enjoyed the first book, Night Terrors, and wondered if Waggoner could follow it up with something equally crazy/intriguing/scary/funny. The answer is – he did. In this book, Shadow Watch agents Audra and… Continue reading

STAR TREK: ONGOING, VOL. 9: THE Q GAMBIT – graphic novel
Let me start off by saying that I am NOT a fan of the character “Q.” Not only not a fan, but I get seriously annoyed by the character and have yet to watch any rerun of the series that has this character in it. I’m not quite sure where this distaste for the character… Continue reading

WALKING THE LABYRINTH – Lisa Goldstein
Walking a labyrinth is intended as a spiritual journey to center one’s self, to right what is out of balance internally, or a means of rediscovery. In Lisa Goldstein’s book, Walking the Labyrinth, the labyrinthine journey is made by Molly Travers, a private investigator who is slowly revealing some truths about her family history. The… Continue reading

NEXUS – Ramez Naam
It has been awhile since I read a book that completely knocked me on my ass with its originality and excitement. Nexus, by Ramez Naam combines the ever-changing, fast-growing world of technology with the human desire to find alternative methods of achieving a ‘high.’ At the same time, this novel is more than just a… Continue reading

DEAD (A LOT) – Howard Odentz
Don’t judge a book by its cover. We know that, right? Well, whether you think the cover, as presented above, is awesome, or totally stupid, you should know that it doesn’t have anything to do with the story. Not that I can tell, anyway. We’ll come back to that. Dead (a lot), by Howard Odentz is… Continue reading

FUZZY MUD – Louis Sachar
There are very few authors who write for middle grade readers as well or better than Louis Sachar. He understands what this age is going through with a wide variety of family life styles, and school and peer pressure. Sachar is able to write characters that are instantly relatable to readers but manage to not… Continue reading

UFILES #2: ALEXANDER’S ARMY – Chris d’Lacey
Back in May I reviewed the first book in the UFiles series by Chris d’Lacey, and was quite spellbound with the book. I was fortunate enough to see that book two was now available for review and eagerly began to read. There is still a fair amount of science fiction, mystery, paranormal activity, action/adventure, and… Continue reading
