I really loved this book, and it's hard for me to put into words why. A lot of it has to do with the atmosphere and the prose. But I also loved how the setting is almost a character itself and loved seeing how all the other characters related to it.It's interesting to see a story that focuses on how...

I read stories for plot, mostly. Sure, I want stories with good pacing, that are compelling, and keep me reading way past my bedtime, but I also like stories that have good characters, theme, and meaning. I love it when I find books that intersect with all those things, but give the choice of one ...
Well, this wasn't quite what I was expecting. I came into this knowing that the book was about the debris left behind by alien visitors to Earth, and that it posed questions around what humankind would do if we couldn't figure its mysteries. What if we found alien technology, and had no idea how to ...
Fascinatingly different. This sat on my "currently reading" shelf for months as I didn't actually read it. Then once I started, I finished it in a day. What happens when aliens drop by, have a picnic, leave behind all their garbage, and depart without ever even trying to talk to us? I still can't de...
I SO enjoyed this short novel.After aliens stopped near their town and left a bleak area filled with their refuse, individuals called Stalkers make a living retrieving and selling the castoffs.The psycholgical and physiological effects of the visit haunt the book, as characters make sense of the thi...
Exactly the sort of SF I like (light on the science, long on the human impact of a changed world). This had so many great and horrible things jammed into it. It was tragic and funny, and the humor grew naturally from the tragic elements. It had a noir feel, too, which I generally am fond of. Excelle...
Aliens have visited the earth and left without seeming to have noticed the human race, the areas where the ships landed are now almost completely off-limits and are known as "The Zone".The visit itself has left the zone littered with various artifacts and environmental effects that are often fatal t...

Reddick, girlfriend and a monkey the story unfolds around quirky dialogue and a lot of trips to the bar.I'm a huge sci-fi fan but I need a little...
