Handwaving

Revisado: 12-15-24

The technical inaccuracies of the scuba (or rebreather) material in this book became too much of an obstacle for me to 'suspend'. Please do better research before going to publication in the future?

Engrossing

Revisado: 09-08-17

American Gods by Neil Gaman does not need much of a review from me because it has enjoyed huge, decades long success in multiple forms. Here I congratulate the work that is the 10th Anniversary full cast audio version for its quality and selection of cast members. I recommend this version in combination with your imagination while listening to paint your impressions across the screens of your brain. Five plus stars.

Thandol Subjugation

Revisado: 08-06-17

The Krall got their asses beat by the gene-modified humans of Koban while the Thandol Empire kept their heads down. Now the Thandol Empire wants to take on the “Galactic Federation” which is composed of all the old Krall subjugated species. Apparently they hadn’t paid close enough attention. Frankly I found this one installment in the series to be a bit rushed and short changed but I still enjoyed it. Four out of Five Space Opera geek points are thus awarded.

Looking for the Ancients in all the wrong places

Revisado: 08-05-17

It’s hilarious how the picture of future Earth, post contact, still has us at each other’s throats and ripe for domination. Joe is going to go back out on the Dutchman to fulfill his promise to Skippy but Earth thinks it is sending a team to figure out how to get the ship for Earth. Skippy isn’t having any of that and I think this was the volume where I heard something immensely profound “Hold my beer, watch this!”
Excellent sequel to Columbus Day, five out of five again!

Barney goes Tactical

Revisado: 08-05-17

I enjoyed the hell out of Joe Bishops antics and Skippy the inconceivably ancient and powerful...beer can. Also converting a “Barney” themed ice cream truck into an improvised tactical vehicle is sheer genius. The excellent story crafting and R. C. Brays delivery had me laughing out loud at stop lights and driving to and from work. Five out of five enjoyment factor points are hereby awarded!!

Feeling Cramped? Need more Space?

Revisado: 08-05-17

This series follow on the heels of the Blackfleet Series which I will review later on. Captain Wright had been tasked with trying to track down an elusive new enemy to humans that not only have a technological edge but also a vehement hatred of humans.
I found the writing of the characters extremely well done and the action did not lag in building detail. Excellent book and a wonderful start to a new series.

Darrow is the Morning Star

Revisado: 07-23-17

This is definitely the culmination of the story. Darrow is sort of lost here and his friends have rescued him to assist in setting society to rights but there is a persistent problem. The jackal and the Queen are insane. That steerage coupled with the Moon-burning lords forces is going to lead to a lot of collateral damage but it can be done.
Absolutely enjoyed the series and I hope someday it comes to the screen. Five out of five for writing and narration.

Cyberpunk Nerdy Goodness

Revisado: 05-07-17

Steppin’ Razor is back the final installment of the trilogy. Molly Millions, Sally Shears, Misty Steel...along with a Yakuza Boss, A London mob Boss, an exceptional tech deck cowboy Bobby Newmark are being hunted and extorted by a ghost in the machine Three Jane. As with all of Gibson’s works I am usually three chapters in before I have a clue what’s going on. Excellent writing and the range of the narrator pulls off a stellar performance. Five by five awesome cyberpunk nerdiness points.

Skygod Bob and his clones continue...

Revisado: 05-07-17

Humans are now spread to 2 systems and several Bob’s are running a shuttle service from Sol to Romulus and Remus. Other Bobs continue to explore and are coming to the realization that Fermi’s paradox has an artificial answer...The Others. This work is rich and humorous at times yet it manages to convey thoughtful entertainment in all of its storylines. I really want more of the Bobiverse.

Five out of five entertainment laughing units for writing and narration. Enjoy!

The Perils of starting a Solar Civil War

Revisado: 05-01-17

Darrow Al Andromedaus, the Red Hell Diver, who was carved into a Gold in Red Rising is trying his damnedest to win the trust of his benefactor Nero Augustus, the Arch Governor of Mars. The goal is to free the Reds and other low colors by breaking the Golds. The ups and downs of Darrow’s fates are enough to give me whiplash in this installment but the action kept me into it. A solar system Civil war is just the thing to...reach the goal? The story and performance were excellent. Five out of five entertainment units awarded and a laurel crown.
