So... this is really hard. I really, really loved The Mars Girl. And I really, really hated As Bit as the Ritz. I'm gonna get Big out of the way first. Bedford got way, way more technical and scienc-y than Haldeman did, and it bored me. Even so, his story wasn't that bad, although it cen...
داستانی که در اول بچگانه و مسخره به نظر میرسید به کجاها که نرسید. و «ویلیام ماندلا» که با این همه مشکل، از پسِ ۱۱۴۳ سال جنگ برآمد و به «مریگی پاتر»ی رسید که این همه دوستش داشت؛ خوش به حالش، خوش به حال هردوشان
Sci-fi military at it's best about.A senseless war that lasts centuries due to time dilation of space travel at light speed and beyond. This time dilation makes for some interesting times when soldiers return as for them only months have passed while on Earth years have passed. It also makes for int...
A quick read. I'm surprising myself a bit by remarking on this, but The Forever War just didn't create much of an emotional connection to its characters. Starship Troopers was a much more engaging read. [spoiler] It was two stars, and then it killed the cat. Plus the whole reprogramming homosexual...
This is, simply put, one of the best books I have ever read. It's deceptively well written. Although the prose is fairly straightforward, it seamlessly meshes hard science fiction, space opera, military SF, and what I think of as "soft SF" (science fiction that maintains a focus on the so-called "...
I first read The Forever War a couple years ago in audiobook format, I quite liked it but to be honest it did not leave much of a lasting impression. I suspect the audiobook format is not suitable for this particular book, I don’t remember there being anything wrong with the narration, I just could ...
In all honesty I didn't finish it. That's not to say its a terrible book, I just lost interest half way through and completely stopped enjoying it and couldn't bring myself to finish it - that is the reason for the 2 stars. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a try, there is a slim possibility that I...
*****"Old Music and the Slave Woman" - Ursula K. LeGuin.Yes, I checked this book out from the library because I saw that it had a LeGuin story I hadn't read before! And yes, this alone was worth the price of admission. (Well, since it was from the library there wasn't a price, but, you know...)Set i...
