Review: “Just a Geek” by Wil Wheaton

Review: “Just a Geek” by Wil Wheaton

E Terra | November 4, 2004May 27, 2024

It’s not often I read books which both reverse and elevate my opinion of the author. Before reading Just a Geek, Wil Wheaton was the child-actor who played arguably the most hated character on Star Trek:TNG, as well as the kid with the biggest (leech-infested) one in four counties. After finishing the book, Wil has become one of my Personal Heroes.

Review: “7th Son” by J.C. Hutchins

David Moldawer | March 7, 2006August 9, 2023 | 1 Comment

Attention all you Earth-crack junkies out there. J. C. Hutchins’s 7th Son podcast novel is well worth checking out. It’s a taut, tense scifi thriller that’s got me hooked after only a few episodes.

Review: “The Prestige” by Christopher Priest

Review: “The Prestige” by Christopher Priest

David Moldawer | January 3, 2006June 9, 2024

This is an odd, hard to define, impossible to put down book, first published in 1995, but out in a new paperback edition. The reason I’m bringing it to your attention is primarily due to news of an upcoming film: Christopher Nolan, director of Batman Begins and one of my personal favorites, Memento, will begin shooting an adaptation of The Prestige this month.

Review: “The Dark Wing” by Walter H. Hunt

Review: “The Dark Wing” by Walter H. Hunt

Tee Morris | May 23, 2004May 30, 2024

An alien race, following their religious doctrines, shatter their latest peace treaty with the Sol Empire by launching an unprovoked attack against a deep space outpost. This time, however, the war between humans and aliens takes on a far more sinister overtone as the admiral of the Imperial Fleet proclaims himself “The Bringer of The Apocolypse” or The Dark Wing, a Military SF epic from Walter H. Hunt and Tor Books.

Classic Review: “On A Pale Horse” by Piers Anthony

Classic Review: “On A Pale Horse” by Piers Anthony

Joe Murphy | March 10, 2004May 30, 2024

After listening to the interview with Piers Anthony, I decided to try one of the books in his “Incarnations of Immortality” series. The first book in the series is titled On a Pale Horse.

Review: “Darth Bane: Path of Destruction: A Novel of the Old Republic”

Review: “Darth Bane: Path of Destruction: A Novel of the Old Republic”

Tim Adamec | December 21, 2006August 10, 2024

I’m a sucker for Star Wars books. After reading Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy (Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and The Last Command) captured the frenetic, everything-is-happening-at-the-same-time pacing of the original Star Wars trilogy and provided an engaging story to boot, I bought any post-Return of the Jedi book I could get my hands on.

Review: “The Magicians and Mrs. Quent” by Galen Beckett

Review: “The Magicians and Mrs. Quent” by Galen Beckett

Lora Friedanthal | February 5, 2009June 19, 2024

I began reading this book with a question of my own: would infusing magic into a novel of manners produce a book that I would enjoy reading? Because in all honesty, although I have read Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights, I didn’t enjoy either.

Review: “Empress” by Karen Miller

Review: “Empress” by Karen Miller

Lora Friedanthal | July 3, 2008June 7, 2024 | 2 Comments

Hekat, in Empress, is a difficult woman. And while I know that a part of me should cheer for this woman who raises herself up from a nameless no one to a ruler of her country, the other part of me can’t stand how difficult she is. Hekat is touched by the god. She is not inventing this. She really does have her deity on her side, protecting her as she slaughters the people who get in her way. Everything she does is fated. But I cannot get beyond how completely cold and ruthless she is to everyone around her.
