PONDERINGS: Outraged Wanker Wants to Bogart Sci-Fi
Saturday, October 17, 2009 0:37 7 CommentsIt 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 [...]
REVIEW: Undercover by Lauren Dane
Friday, December 12, 2008 13:00 2 Comments 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 [...]

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, but that’s [...]

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 [...]

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 after the [...]
REVIEW: Wanderlust by Ann Aguirre
Monday, September 15, 2008 1:00 1 CommentShannon 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 [...]
REVIEW: Callahan’s Legacy by Spider Robinson
Saturday, August 23, 2008 16:00 No CommentsShannon 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 [...]
REVIEW: 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 [...]
REVIEW: Saturn’s Children by Charles Stross
Thursday, July 24, 2008 13:00 2 CommentsGwen’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 his [...]
REVIEW: Warrior by Angela Knight
Tuesday, July 15, 2008 1:00 9 CommentsGwen’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, [...]
Review: Grass by Sheri S. Tepper
Friday, July 11, 2008 16:00 1 CommentShannon 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, [...]

Saturday, June 21, 2008 16:00 1 CommentShannon 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 [...]

Monday, February 25, 2008 13:00 16 CommentsLoonigrrl’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 comes to [...]
