BRIDGERTON: THE DUKE AND I – Julia Quinn
It took me awhile to decide to watch the Bridgerton series on Netflix. I was aware of the interest but I didn’t think I would be interested in a romance series, but one night, while looking for a new show to watch, my wife and I decided to check out Bridgerton … and we enjoyed it. And Continue reading

SCIENCE FICTION THEATRE – J. P. Telotte
It is not uncommon to see books about early days of popular entertainment, There are some wonderful histories of the early days of television, and there have been several histories of the early days of televised science fiction. This is the first book that I have seen dedicated solely to Science Fiction Theatre. Science Fiction Continue reading

THE GLASS TEAT – Harlan Ellison
As a teenager I was completely and utterly enthralled with Harlan Ellison and his writing. I’ve read everything he wrote that i could get my hands on. I met him at book signings and conventions and easily rated him as my favorite author. Ellison’s anger and angst and pomposity was fun, or at least identifiable Continue reading

ROBERT KIRKMAN’S THE WALKING DEAD: TYPHOON – Wesley Chu
Honestly … the main reason I wanted to read this was not so much because it’s a “Walking Dead” novel, but because it’s by Wesley Chu. I’ll read just about anything by Chu (though I’d prefer to read more in the Time Salvager or Io series’). China has been hit particularly hard by the outbreak Continue reading

TO THE STARS – George Takei
STAR TREK WEEK If you are considering buying this book, then you likely already have a pretty good idea of who George Takei is. Most will know him from his being a regular on the original Star Trek television series (and movies). Younger audiences will know him for his social media presence. In this biography/memoir, Continue reading

STAR TREK: YEAR FIVE #1 – graphic novel
*** WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD*** Reading the old, Gold Key Star Trek comics, and then the John Byrne manipulated photo comics got me interested in seeing what the new Trek comics looked like. As I’ve been impressed with Amazon’s comic-reading app on my phone, I decided to buy this first issue of “Year Five”. The Continue reading

STAR TREK: NEW VISIONS – John Byrne
I want to know why it took so long for someone to actually do this! Author, artist, photo-manipulator John Byrne writes in his introduction that he wanted to create new Star Trek stories by editing existing clips of the episodes together. I’ve had the same thought! And then when he saw the Star Trek photonovels Continue reading

SPOCK MUST DIE! – James Blish
STAR TREK WEEK Oh, this was absolute gold back in the early 1970’s! Going mostly off of my own memories, this was the first, professionally published Star Trek story/novel. Fan magazines (fanzines) were already being produced, but with James Blish’s Spock Must Die!, fans everywhere could finally buy a brand new Star Trek story! By Continue reading

A WEREWOLF IN RIVERDALE – Caleb Roehrig
If you’ve seen the new Archie Comics series on Netflix (or some other streaming service) you know that the new Archie and Riverdale gang are almost nothing like the Archie, Jughead, Betty, and Veronica that most of us grew up with. Someone is killing the citizens of Riverdale. Dilton Doily is one of the first Continue reading

EVIL THING – Serena Valentino
One of my favorite Disney movies is one that seems the least Disney-like – no princes or princesses, no kings or queens, no beasts or monsters to be slain or under-estimated, no curses, no magic … just good storytelling and one very frightening villain. So when I saw this new book from Disney-Hyperion, it caught Continue reading

THE FIFTY-YEAR MISSION – Edward Gross & Mark A. Altman
STAR TREK WEEK Edward Gross and Mark Altman’s The Fifty-Year Mission is a really great look at the history of Star Trek, but not just as one person’s research or recollection, but from the memories and thoughts of hundreds of people who had a part in Star Trek (or were heavily influenced by Star Trek). Continue reading
