LAST TO RISE – Francis Knight
Last to Rise is the final book in a trilogy (all published in 2013), and I’m sorry to say that I never read the first two books. This was a review copy, provided by the publisher. I figure that if the publisher thinks it’s fine to read only the last book, then that’s what I’ll… Continue reading

Some Fine Day — a short film for a new book!
I love how our generation has blurred the lines of film-making and book-selling. I recognize that this is out of necessity, and that there have been television ads for books in the past, but, to me anyway, the whole idea of a video trailer for a book is relatively new. And brilliant. Not sure what… Continue reading

TO EVERYTHING THAT WAS: SELECTED REMASTERED WORKS (CLASSIC SPACE: 1999)
There was an awful lot of hype that hit the airwaves before Space: 1999, the television series, hit local stations. Star Trek, despite having been off the air for six years, was just beginning to reach a great deal of fame. So a new sci-fi series, by someone with a track record (U.F.O and Thuderbirds… Continue reading

SAVING MARS — Cidney Swanson
Ocassionally Amazon offers a few Kindle books for free (I receive a daily list from BookBub [that’s my unofficial plug for a free service]), and as I recall this was one of those freebies. I was impressed with the star rating on Amazon and, as I enjoy sci-fi and YA, this seemed like the right… Continue reading

STAR TREK: Volume 6 – AFTER DARKNESS
I have to admit that I’m a Star Trek nerd from waaaay back, and I actually liked those old Gold Key Star Trek comics. Not for the art (which perhaps goes without saying), but because it was a way for me to continue to get my Star Trek fix. I was only peripherally aware that… Continue reading

II CRIMSONSTREAK — Matt Adams
I was very excited to dig in to this book. A quick look through the blog here and you will see a lot of superhero type books. I enjoy the genre. And superheroes who aren’t part of an existing comic book universe is intriguing to me. But I have to admit that I thought a… Continue reading

THE CORMORANT — Chuck Wendig
Miriam Black has a talent (or curse) of being able to tell when and how a person will die, simply by making contact with that other person. She has used this gift to try to alter a person’s destiny, and while the ‘how’ might change, the when doesn’t seem to. Now, Miriam heads off to… Continue reading

PARASITE — Mira Grant
Oh, my. Oh! My! This may sound a little corny, but Mira Grant is the new Stephen King… a master of horror. Both psychological and physical. Reading a Mira Grant novel makes your skin crawl just a little bit, but at the same time, the crawling sensation tingles just a little. In a good way.… Continue reading
