On my latest dive into my pile of Ace Doubles I came up with a pair of novels about which I had mixed feelings. Keith Laumer's Worlds of the Imperium is one that I have long wanted to read, as it's considered an early classic of alternate history. I've never been a fan of Laumer's work, though, and ...
I must say that was much better then some of the stuff I've read by Bradley. Apparently we have parallel evolution or something going here. 7 humans crash land on earth and have to help save it from interdimensional parasitic aliens.
This took a bit for me to get into, but I loved how there was a parallel to Dimitri's life as he noticed Annalise. The pull was strong between them, even with all the negative influence in their lives. This was an up and down journey, and I enjoyed it all the way.I received a copy of this story thro...
Much better than the fist book, Glenraven, but maybe I was in the wrong mood at the time. Kate should go back to Peters and kick some self righteous ass and sue those bigots for vandalism and arson. And assault and battery. And expose their little hate cult for what it is. Since I don't own a si...
(Original Review, 1980-10-22)Boy, are you going to get answers to this/ query! (Darkover tends to arouse very strong opinions). The Darkover stories comprise about a dozen novels and a few shorts by Marion Zimmer Bradley, plus a lot of (fortunately) mostly unobtainable fan fiction. Darkover is a har...
Erf. I've started re-reading this series, because I remember how much I loved it when I was a teenager... but damn, I didn't remember this one was so bad. (Or is it because I sometimes used to like shite as a teenager, and that was part of it?)The story in itself is not uninteresting, all the more s...
Worth reading the rantage for how things haven't changed in decades.Made me want to root out the Darkover books and re-read. I know Bradley has some problems and blindnesses but overall it's interesting and well worth a read.
Wow, this book is a mess. As an example, there are at least two conversations between the 3 main characters where the man and the younger sister insist that autistic children should just die because they are unfit for society (they also equate being autistic to being mentally disabled, which is a wh...

I hesitated to review such a darling of the fantasy genre. I have encountered fanatical devotion to a piece of fiction before, but the affection for this book possesses-- or possessed until two years ago-- a religious pitch that I haven’t seen even in Lord of the Rings fans. Thus it was naturally a ...
