SciFi Novel that achieves the author's objective of "mixing rapid fire fun with challenging ideas" Physicist Dennis Nuel was the first human to probe the strange realms called anomaly worlds - alternate universes where the laws of science were unpredictably changed. But the world Dennis discovered...
This book's origin is a bit unusual, with a think tank inviting authors to speculate about the nature of future warfare in fictional form. Now, I'm not the kind of person who'd ever read a policy report or position paper. And I don't read weapon specs either. I would say (generalizing a bit broadly)...
Initial bad prose and slow pace give way to a serviceable space operatic thriller. There's some irony in humanity being portrayed as having left racism behind when the author only mentions the skin colour of one human character. You guessed it - that person is black. This is subtle, unconscious and ...
This review will probably contain spoilers. Read on at your own risk. Tuck Everlasting is one of those books that I've been meaning to read. For 30 years. I've resisted until now because several people told me it was an extremely sad book. I'm not sure what book they were reading. Maybe there's...

So this little volume debates Star Wars and whether or not it has harmed Sci-Fi writing or viewing. I brought pretty much because it has essays by Tanya Huff (who is on the prosecution) and Kristine Kathryn Rusch (who is on the defense). Largely, I have to say the prosecution came after better. Many...
One of the creepiest stories I ever read was The Humanoids by Jack Williamson. In it, alien robots come to Earth to keep humans safe. That's their main motivation. But what starts off as safety turns into tyranny when the robots see cooking, crafting, and driving as being harmful; we could harm ours...
