Book: One Jump Ahead by Mark L. Van Name (2007, Hardcover) 
Why This is a Lousy Book:
1 out of 2 people found this review helpful
Warning: Plot spoilers, not that it matters. The weak and awkward tale of one Jon Moore, courier, mercenary, survivor of some vague planetwide nanotech disaster back on his home world of Pinkelponke... read full review

"Invasive Procedures" Orson Scott Card & Aaron Johnston
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful
A weak, thinly written attempt at a medical thriller. Mr. Johnston somehow has had the good fortune to get the use of Mr. Cards name. Mr. Johnston may in fact be a good screenwriter, I wouldn't know. He... read full review
Book: Spin State by Chris Moriarty (2003, Paperback) 
Review of "Spin State" by Chris Moriarty
**Extreme Summary** Well written cyberpunk. A gritty, rough, plausible future where everything is possible but nothing is secure. **Longer Review (Some spoiler Warning)** ... read full review
Destination : Void by Frank Herbert (1981, Hardcover)
A Review of "Destination: Void" by Frank Herbert
A reasonable example of one of his lesser works. The dialog is heavy, the characters poorly done, they spend a lot of time philosophizing and doing mechanical chores. Still worth going through once if you lik... read full review
The Glass Ark by Karen Liptak and Linnea Gentry (1991, Paperback)
A Childs Guide to Biosphere II
This is a small, simple book, less than 100 pages. It is aimed at children around 8-12 years of age. It gives a simple introduction to the bioshere II and a few basic concepts of ecology. It is extensively i... read full review
Kildar by John Ringo (2006, Hardcover)
Comments on Kildar
This is a fairly typical John Ringo novel. Although part of a series the book stands well by itself. The author has a deep love and knowledge of all things military and uses this to good advantage. The book ... read full review
Off Armageddon Reef by David Weber (2007, CD, Unabridged)
That Ghastly Mess "Off Armageddon Reef" by David Weber
Mr. Weber has here failed miserably in his attempted to squash together several different genres. The result is notable for its size, but in no way for quality, although I did find the bookbinding adequate. C... read full review
Book: Infected by Scott Sigler (2008, Hardcover) 
A Frighteningly Good Book By Mr. Sigler
This is a blend of science fiction, medical thriller, and horror. It is on a par with Michael Crichtons "Andromeda Strain". The story starts out desperate, graphic, and frightening, and simply does ... read full review
Book: Pandemonium by Daryl Gregory (2008, UK-Paperback) 
"Pandemonium", A Splendid First Novel
Mr. Gregory has hit a home run with this, his first novel. It is set in a society where possession by demons (whatever they are) is just an inexplicable fact of life. The author is clear, coherent, and entert... read full review
Book: Heaven's War by David S. Goyer and Michael Cassutt (2012, Hardcover) 
Weak & unimaginative.
Book two in a mediocre series. Two hundred or so people are scooped up and dumped inside a mysterious spacegoing habitat. Said habitat heads off for points unknown. They spend their time arguing and trying t... read full review
