Posted on July 5, 2013 1 Comment
First, I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review. Roen Tan is an out-of-shape IT tech just trying to make it through the daily grind when he becomes the host of an advanced alien named Tao. When he finally becomes aware […]
Book Review: Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson
Posted on July 3, 2013 2 Comments
Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson Robots determine that humanity is obsolete and must be cleansed. This is simple and common science fiction concept and one I have most recently been dealing with in Mass Effect. I spent a lot of time relating things back to the Morning War and Starchild and, most importantly, to Harbinger. Hell, this […]

Abaddon’s Gate byJames S.A. Corey Ever since I read Leviathan Wakes, I’ve become a fan and follower of the team behind the pseudonym James S.A. Corey — authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The Expanse series is the most fun I’ve had with a space opera in a long time, and from what I heard […]

Warlord of Mars Dejah Thoris Volume 4: The Vampire Men of Saturn Tp by Robert Place Napton My husband and I saw the John Carter movie and thought it was reasonably good. I didn’t expect the movie to hold true to the book, but I didn’t expect to dislike the book quite so much. Pulp […]

Book Review: Triptych by J.M. Frey

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 […]
Book Review: Bitter Seeds by Ian Tregillis

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 […]
