UNDER NAMELESS STARS – Christian Schoon
This is the second in the Zenn Scarlett series, and if you’ll recall, I really enjoyed the first book, Zenn Scarlett. Under Nameless Stars (a beautiful title that doesn’t have a whole lot to do with the book) picks up right where Zenn Scarlett left off and it’s recommended that you start with that first book.… Continue reading

HONOR AMONG THIEVES – James S. A. Corey
I haven’t read a Star Wars novel since…well, probably since Brian Daley wrote a couple of Han Solo books in the late 1970’s. And it’s not that I don’t enjoy Star Wars (I’m nerd enough to say that I own the top-of-the-line LaserDiscs of the original cut of the original film), it’s just that I… Continue reading

SONG OF SILVER – Laura J. Underwood
Most of the fantasy that I’ve read lately would likely be classified as ‘urban fantasy,’ but Song of Silver, a collection of shorts stories by Laura J. Underwood, harkens back to the days of Fritz Lieber and classic Dungeons and Dragons gaming. Considered a “Harper Mage,” Anwyn Baldomyre wanders the contryside (Lamboria) with his magic… Continue reading

ATTACK THE GEEK – Michael R. Underwood
WaaHoo! Strap yourself in and hold on tight, this is a wild Geek ride! I’m new to the ‘Geekomancy’ world of Ree Reyes, but if this is any indication what the first two books might be like, count me in! Essentially, this is a world in which all the books, comics, movies, television shows, and… Continue reading

PEACEMAKER – Marianne de Pierres
If you’re a sci-fi/fantasy enthusiast, how often have you read a book and, whether or not you liked the story-telling, felt like it was really nothing but a rehash of an already over-used scenario? Move over stale f/sf themes; enter: Peacemaker, a wholly original and thrilling fantasy adventure. Set in the future, when urban sprawl… Continue reading

INQUEST – DelSheree Gladden
There’s no dearth of young adult science fiction/fantasy books today, but finding one that is appealing, exciting, and well-written, can be difficult. Hopefully, if that’s what you’re looking for, you’re reading blogs like this to help you find the gems among the bookshelf mines. This is such a gem. Author DelSheree Gladden has done a… Continue reading

THE BEST OF PANTHA: THE WARREN STORIES – graphic novel
Ah, sweet nostalgia. Reading this took me back to those geeky middle-school days, when I scoured the rack of over-sized comic books with their black and white artwork that somehow felt a little racy because it was black and white (and certainly the subject matter was intended to be sexy). I read (or looked through)… Continue reading

THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE – Neil Gaiman
If there is a better writer working today, please let me know who it is, because I think Neil Gaiman might be the best fiction writer alive. Mr. Gaiman doesn’t need a review on a book review blog, nor another review on Goodreads … this book has almost 17, 000 reviews — seventeen THOUSAND —… Continue reading

CYBORG 009 – graphic novel
I’ve never been a fan of ‘manga’ so I’m not sure what drew me to this particular book. Perhaps it’s because it’s not quite ‘manga’ but it definitely has hints of the manga-style of artwork. And yet it’s not completely that manga-style. This is hard to define, and I suspect that’s what’s drawn me in.… Continue reading

LAST GOD STANDING – Michael Boatman
It can be difficult to sustain a sense of humor in a four-hundred page novel, but that’s precisely what author Michael Boatman sets out to do in Last God Standing. The story follows God, who has decided to join the human race … as a stand-up comic. A bevy of other, oft forgotten gods, vie… Continue reading

THE BIG REAP – Chris F. Holm
Part action/adventure, part dark fantasy/horror, part thriller, with a touch of history and literary allusions and mythology makes for one spine-tingling, leaves-you-breathless book! Sam Thornton collects souls as an agent for a dark force. In this book, he is sent to collect the souls of ‘The Brethren’ – former collectors themselves. He can hop bodies… Continue reading

EMILIE AND THE SKY WORLD – Martha Wells
I’ve been feeling very good about the books I get from Strange Chemistry and Angry Robot, so I was really looking forward to this. Emilie is a typical teen protagonist: adventurous, inquisitive, strong-willed, inexperienced. Author Martha Wells does a very nice job of understanding Emilie and getting the reader to relate to the young girl.… Continue reading
