Review: “Killing the Rabbit” by Alison Goodman

Review: “Killing the Rabbit” by Alison Goodman

Debbie Walker | December 21, 2007June 1, 2024

This book is based in Australia yet blends in a bit of Japanese and Chinese culture. What doesn’t make sense is this South African Pharmaceutical Company is only killing Australian women with this trait and there is no mention of any other women in any other country. Resorting to the murder of those seven women and the other “loose ends” seems a bit drastic without taking into consideration the possibility of hundreds of women worldwide who might have the same genetic mutation.

Review: “Gaudeamus” by John Barnes

Review: “Gaudeamus” by John Barnes

E Terra | December 19, 2004June 15, 2024

When John Barnes gets a visit from his old buddy and private detective Travis Bismark, he knows two things for sure: Travis needs a ride, and he’ll get at least one new science fiction book out of it.

Review: “Not Your Father’s Horseman” by Valerie Griswold-Ford

Review: “Not Your Father’s Horseman” by Valerie Griswold-Ford

Tee Morris | August 9, 2005August 10, 2024 | 1 Comment

When you ask author Valerie Griswold-Ford how she got her contract for Not Your Father’s Horseman, she will tell you, “Well, Tee suggested I finish the manuscript and then pitch it to Dragon Moon. What Tee didn’t tell me was he pitched it for me to Dragon Moon and got me a contract.” So, yeah, I figured a great motivator in getting your first novel done was a contract.

Review: “Waking The Witch” by Kelley Armstrong

Review: “Waking The Witch” by Kelley Armstrong

Web Genii | July 31, 2010May 30, 2024

It’s difficult to keep a long running series fresh and interesting for the fans (and the author). Ms. Armstrong has achieved this in a number of ways, most obviously by changing the lead character in each book. But she also provides quality world building, well plotted mysteries and characters who grow and change in each book.

Review: “Small Favor” by Jim Butcher

Review: “Small Favor” by Jim Butcher

Brian Brown | June 27, 2008June 1, 2024 | 1 Comment

Small Favor is a great read and I think that the Dresden Files books are a great introduction to fantasy/sci-fi for someone who doesn’t normally read such genres. It’s a P.I. mystery with magic with strong characters, an over arching plots as well as smaller story arcs that finish up in single book… mostly.

Review: “The Crazy Years: Reflections of a Science Fiction” by Spider Robinson

Review: “The Crazy Years: Reflections of a Science Fiction” by Spider Robinson

Joe Murphy | November 5, 2004August 10, 2024

I can tell you this: Spider is funny, and he’s smart, and you can’t go wrong with a combination like that. Warren James, host of Mike Hodel’s Hour 25, says that science fiction allows us to see the world through another set of eyes. Take a chance and take a look at world through the eyes of the Spider.

Rating: 4 out of 5

Review: “The Tattooed Wolf” by K. Bannerman

Review: “The Tattooed Wolf” by K. Bannerman

Joe Murphy | October 5, 2004June 28, 2024

If you like short, satisfying reads between your “Harry Potter” or “A Song of Ice and Fire” ten pound seat-raisers, then buy the tree-killer or planet-friendly version of this book.

Review: “Eon: Dragoneye Reborn” by Alison Goodman

Review: “Eon: Dragoneye Reborn” by Alison Goodman

Michael Hickerson | February 7, 2009May 30, 2024

“Dragoneye” is the first of a two-part story set in Goodman’s universe. Thankfully, Goodman is able to resolve enough of the storylines to keep readers satisfied and make this a complete novel, while creating a cliffhanger and situation that will leave you wanting to pick up the next installment as soon as possible and find out what happens next.
