...or Giant Sloth Snoozes by A. Couple Of Hacks. 'Cos seriously, despite nuclear bombs and guns going off every other page, this a dull cliche-fest stuck in the 1970s, written by two blokes whose only use for female characters is to provide their male protagonists with people to obsess over. And t...

"As close as you'll get to a Hollywood blockbuster in book form." -io9.com Welp, if I had seen that quote before reading the book, I never would have picked it up. Never in the history of literature has there been a halfway decent novel that could be described as a "Hollywood blockbuster in book ...

This was very tense science fiction, a solid story, with interesting characters. In the end, I think it strikes me most as a less audacious Blood Music, but still, it was well worth the read.

Fantastic Space-Opera! I didn't know what to expect when I picked up the book besides the basic premise, and yet I was slowly drawn into situation after situation that got bigger and more bad-ass, contrary to what I was expecting in the first hundred pages or so. Sure, Solar-system action, big haule...

Edmond Hamilton meets E.E. "Doc" Smith in the 21st century, but in a bad way.Do you all remember Smith's book about an evil planet of evil naked lesbians who only needed the love of a few good men to become nice ladies? This is almost as bad.This novel should have been called "Firefly - the book". ...

And then the shit got real. Yeah. the book starts with this sweeping, fantastic colonized solar system with interesting people and complicated politics. But then the fates throw in something unforeseen and it just takes this book to the next level. This was one of my favorite books of the year and i...
