Stephen Leigh’s Immortal Muse blends modern day fiction with alchemical history. As a chemist and artist, and fantasy genre fan, this was a perfect match for me. How neat would it be if your muse was not just a one-way source of inspiration? What if you muse was a person who provided feedback and ev...
I started this book last year for the one and only reason that it was directed by George Martin, and I was in love with his style from his now well-known and massively-mediatized series, A Song of Ice and Fire . I loved that series, every second of it, so here I was bouncing up and down when I hear...
I find these Wild Cards novels very enjoyable probably due in part to the great variety of authors and a terrific mix of wonderfully eccentric and original characters that inhabit Jokertown and the Wild Card universe. This one seemed to be one of the better ones of the five I've read so far. The las...
This Wild Cards book focuses on the cops and other related denizens of Jokertown. I didn't care for some of the authors new to Wild Cards that I hadn't already previously read, namely Cherie Priest and Mary Anne Mohanraj, but overall the book was a good addition to the series.
WTF happened to this series? It's like the authors all got together and decided to ignore all my favorite characters (the ones that are still alive, anyway) and come up with ridiculous plots that aren't hardly believable, even in the Wild Cards world of the late 80's. The "jumpers" are so contrived ...
This is not the best book in the series. Firstly, I'm not very interested in the Jerry character. He's written with no arc to speak of, just a flat pathos that is perpetually stuck in the same monotonous routine, over and over.A new type of ace is introduced, the "jumpers". The way this power works,...
A lot of people think this is where the series starts to noticeably weaken, but I still liked it a lot. The stories weave around a gang war between the Shadow Fists and the mafia. Some of the characters and situations seemed a bit contrived - a mafia princess working as an assistant DA in NYC, and n...
This is an excellent treatment of the pulp scifi genre. I especially like the way it embraces pulp without being self-referential. Breaking the story up between different writers also helps add to the feeling that the world of the Wild Card virus is a dynamic world, with numerous goings-on that can ...
