Ash’s Duckies Do Series Review of The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins Young Adult Science Fiction published by Scholastic Sept 08 – Aug 10 I’ve been wondering for days how to write this review, because I don’t think I can do these books justice. Suzanne Collins is an amazing author, and these books are [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 Every once in a while, I like to revisit my teenaged reading self. This is probably the only part of my teenaged self that doesn’t perpetually irritate me, [...]

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 [...]

LauraD’s review of Wanderlust (The Jax Series, Book 2) by Ann Aguirre Science fiction released by Ace 26 Aug 08 Ann Aguirre debuted with Grimspace; the sci-fi page turner about a rag-tag group of space adventurers being chased by both sides of the law. Wanderlust continues the story of Sirantha Jax and her friends, immediately [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Wanderlust (The Jax Series, Book 2) by Ann Aguirre 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 them loved it, [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Callahan’s Legacy by Spider Robinson Science fiction novel released by Tor 15 Sep 97 One of the reasons that I started reviewing correlates directly with something Spider Robinson said in the first of his Callahan’s books: “Shared joy is increased, shared pain is lessened.” I know there’s nothing that makes me [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Dust by Elizabeth Bear Science fiction novel released by Spectra 26 Dec 07 Sybil asked the duckies if any of us had read Elizabeth Bear a few weeks ago, and I decided that I should dig out the one Bear book I had TBR. Apparently, Ms. Bear has won all kinds [...]

Gwen’s review of Saturn’s Children by Charles Stross (not a traditional author’s site) Science fiction adventure hardcover released by Ace 1 Jul 08 The author calls this book, “A space opera and late-period Heinlein tribute…” I think Robert A. Heinlein is my favorite author of all time, with my favorite book of all time being [...]

Gwen’s review of Warrior (Time Hunters, Book 1) by Angela Knight Sci-Fi romance released by Berkley 1 Jul 08 Angela Knight writes some of the steamiest, far-out books I’ve ever read. They almost always have uber-alpha heroes and generally have strong heroines. Warrior is no exception. It has an alpha hero in spades, a heroine [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Grass by Sheri S. Tepper Science fiction novel released from Spectra 1 Jul 90 There are some books you can breeze through in a matter of hours, close the book afterwards with a satisfied smile and reach for the next. Then there are the books that practically demand to be savored, [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Hominids: Neanderthal Parallax, Book 1 by Robert J. Sawyer Science fiction published by Tor 1 May 02 I might never have gotten to this book if it weren’t for reading a relatively negative review of it recently. The reviewer seemed to say, at least to my mind, that Robert J. Sawyer [...]

Loonigrrl’s guest review of Grimspace (The Jax Series, Book 1) by Ann Aguirre Sci-Fi romance released by Ace 26 Feb 08 This book was a very pleasant surprise. Ok, it was more than that. It was awesome. Sure, I enjoy sci-fi just as much as the next Star Trek-Star Wars-Firefly/Serenity-Battlestar Galactica fan.  But when it [...]
