PONDERINGS: Outraged Wanker Wants to Bogart Sci-Fi

Saturday, October 17, 2009 0:37 7 Comments

It should come as no surprise to any of you that I am a fan of science-fiction.  I love it in all mediums – books, movies, television, manga, graphic novels, and good ol’ comic books.  It’s all good to me. Love Heinlein, Bradbury, LeGuin, Asimov, Herbert, Zelazny, etc.  And lately, I am finding sci-fi romances [...]

Sci-fi romance released by HQN 1 Feb 09
I really love a good sci-fi romance.  The last couple of months I’ve been lucky enough to read a couple of really good ones.  This is definitely one of them, so much so I’m going to [...]

Liviania’s review of Ice Song by Kirsten Imani Kisai
Science fiction/fantasy released by Del Rey 19 May 2009
Sybil quickly figured out that I enjoy stories that play with gender.  Many people are intrigued by what separates men and women, but I enjoy that separation even more when it’s illuminated by a blending of the characteristics.  [...]

Gwen’s review of Beyond the Rain by Jess Granger
Science-fiction romance released by Berkley Sensation 4 Aug 09
I love me a good sci-fi romance.  When they’re done well – and this one is done very well – you can totally cut loose from your normal world and be completely transported to literally a whole new world.  [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Hope’s Folly (Dock 5 Series, Book 3) by Linnea Sinclair
Science fiction romance released by Bantam 24 Feb 09
Linnea Sinclair is one of those authors that I feel I should love. Her books always seem to have strong world-building, which I love, kick-ass heroines, which make me squee, and nice [...]

REVIEW: Menagerie by Lara Santiago

Sandy M’s review of Menagerie by Lara Santiago
Erotic Sci-Fi Romance released by Siren 23 Jul 08
My biggest beef [Ed.: heh] with erotic romance most of the time is the gratuitous sex and no storyline to be found (I do have my moments when I don’t mind reading über-horniness), and there’s a lot of those out [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Shades of Dark (Dock 5 Series, Book 2) by Linnea Sinclair
Science fiction romance released 29 Jul 08 by Bantam
I think I’ve just about resigned myself to the fact that I’ll never be happy as a reader. I want strong heroines. I got one in this book. I want complex [...]

Limecello’s review of Undercover by Lauren Dane
Erotic sci-fi romance published by Berkley on 2 Dec 08
Undercover put Lauren Dane on the bestseller’s list, and for good reason. I’ve really enjoyed Ms. Dane’s writing, and think that each of her works that I’ve read is better than the last. Make sure you have a lot [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Conflict of Honors by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller
Science fiction released by Del Rey May 88, re-release by Ace 30 Dec 08

Shannon C.’s review of Memory (Miles Vorkosigan Adventures) by Lois McMaster Bujold
Science fiction released by Baen 1 Oct 96
Lois McMaster Bujold has made her way onto my list of favorite authors of all time. I have yet to read a book she’s written that I haven’t loved, and I tend to space her books apart [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Gabriel’s Ghost by Linnea Sinclair
Science fiction romance released by Bantam 25 Oct 05
I understand that Linnea Sinclair is quite popular among readers of science fiction romance. Which, of course, explains why I haven’t read her until now. I am the absolute last to know about this stuff, I swear. [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Taken Unaware by Summer Devon
Futuristic romance eBook released by Samhain Publishing 7 Oct 08
I like aliens-come-to-Earth stories. I think it’s interesting to speculate about what people would actually do if that happened, and what changes would take place. In Summer Devon’s latest, she explores these themes in a story [...]

Science fiction released 26 Aug 08 by Ace
In Grimspace, Ann Aguirre introduced the reader to Sirantha Jax, messed-up space jumper extraordinaire, and March, her pilot-turned-lover. Readers seemed to be of two minds about that book — some of [...]
