Posted on June 3, 2013 1 Comment

Triptych by J.M. Frey The worst part about Triptych is falling in love with Kalp, just as the humans, Gwen and Basil do, all the while knowing that he dies. No, that’s not a spoiler. His murder occurs right in the first few pages of the book and I was impressed by the way Frey’s […]

The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey Having really enjoyed Rick Yancey’s The Monstrumologist, I became interested in checking out the author’s other works and decided to pick up his new young adult book The 5th Wave. The book tells the story of an alien invasion, happening over a period of time in a series of planned […]

Bitter Seeds by Ian Tregillis This book could have been a story arc in a comic book, and I mean that in a good way. In fact, I’m thinking that could be why I liked this book so much. You have British warlocks versus Nazi Germany’s engineered super soldiers in an alternate history of World War […]

Graphic Novel Review: Captain America: The Chosen by David Morrell

Captain America: The Chosen by David Morrell Before I get to the Captain America gushing, I need to get this out of the way. I don’t like the setting for this. No, I’m okay with the war environment, but I didn’t like that it specifically had to be Afghanistan and Al Qaeda related with the […]

Book Review: Stars Wars: The New Jedi Order: Traitor by Matthew Stover

Traitor by Matthew Stover The issue I have with the Force is that the movies made everything so black and white. Give in to your hate and passion and poof, you’re dark side. The Sith have their code about killing all the things and power, and the Jedi have their code about not having sex and only killing all the things when you […]
