ADPoV #15: A Few of my Favorite Things
Enough of what I hate. Here’s what I -love-.
Cover to Cover #202: John Scalzi
This week Michael and Evo talk to John Scalzi about his new book, The Ghost Brigades. This book continues on from Old Man’s War, but is written as a stand-alone book, so you do not need to go back and read the first book to enjoy this latest offering.
Review: “Night Train to Rigel” by Timothy Zahn
Timothy Zahn’s a prolific writer with many succesful books both in his own and in other people’s universes.
What’s more, his name makes him eminently suited to be a bad guy in a Star Wars movie himself.
Darth Zahn’s latest book, Night Train to Rigel, delivers why-didn’t-I-think-of-that clever ideas and a zippy plotline that kept me flipping paper to the end.
ADPoV #14: Droids
A response to a protocol droid who called into “Wingin’ It” bitching about how screwed the droids are.
Cover to Cover #201: Matthew Wayne Selznick

ADPoV #13: The Lars Farm
Hey, we didn’t kill the Lars, so get off my back!
Cover to Cover #200: Scott Sigler
This week Evo is back from vaction and we get Scott Sigler on the phone to tell us about his podcast book, Earthcore. Blood and gore galore! Scott has some very exciting things happening, including a new novel, print versions of his work, and exploring avenues in Hollywood.
Review: “The Prestige” by Christopher Priest
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.
ADPoV #12: The Battle of Hoth
Give credit where credit is due.
Cover to Cover #199: Crazee Comics / Frederik Pohl
