Sorry kids, no feet.
Sorry kids, no feet. rated it 6 years ago
I feel like I need to start this review by saying sci-fi is not my genre of choice. The vast majority of what I read is historical fiction with the occasional fantasy novel thrown in for something different. I read the first novel, Sleeping Giants, last August. For anyone interested in this serie...

Believe it or not, this is my second time writing this particular post. The first one which was ready for publishing was accidentally deleted in its entirety by yours truly. Well, I guess after this many years I was due a massively huge screw up. IT WAS SUCH A LONG POST, GUYS. I'm afraid this is goi...

DNF @ 5 % (23 out of 509 minutes) So I'm less than 5% in and already I don't want to listen to this scientist character. Seriously, you skip your own father's funeral and just expect your mother to put you up? That's not grieving differently, that's being a self-centred ass. Besides, this inter...

This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life in Books.This was so good! The whole trilogy is really amazing.

This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life in Books.This was really good! Amazingly good!

I liked it the first time around but I wasn't nearly as impressed as I was with this list...

My review can also be found at Carole's Random Life in Books.I had so much fun reading this book! I recently listened to the first book in this series so I was pretty eager to fit this book into my reading schedule. It turned out to be one of those books that are almost impossible to put down. Every...
Tower of Iron Will
Tower of Iron Will rated it 7 years ago
A group of scientists and military types race to uncover the pieces of a giant alien robot buried on Earth thousands of years in the past. The novel is reminiscent of The Martian in the sense that it is almost entirely dialogue driven, and the plot is propelled by various successes and setbacks in t...

Well written, but it should absolutely be read only after the first volume. I didn't do so, and I paid the price.

Like its predecessor, Sleeping Giants, Waking Gods is marked by an interesting style, where debriefings, news reports, and journal entries are pieced together to tell the story. The second book of the Themis Files has a markedly different tone than the first: while Sleeping Giants was somewhat conte...
