Historia
On Blue's Waters is the start of a new work by Gene Wolfe which takes place in the years after Wolfe's four-volume Book of the Long Sun. Horn, the narrator of the earlier work, now tells his own story. Though life is hard on the newly settled planet of Blue, Horn and his family have made a decent life for themselves. But Horn is the only one who can locate the great leader Silk and convince him to return to Blue and lead them all to prosperity. So Horn sets sail in a small boat, on a long and difficult quest across the planet Blue in search of the now legendary Patera Silk.

Amazing!
Revisado: 12-12-22
This was amazing! Gene Wolfe continues to blow my mind. This is shocking in parts, frustrating, and sometimes a little tough and raw with some hard subject matter. In other parts rich, beautiful, and poetic. This is another amazing story just as philosophical as new sun with all the complexity wolf is known for. There is more going on here then is on the surface. Careful reading or listening recommend.

Perfectly balanced. As all things should be
- De Joshua Dehler en 03-19-25
This is the best Gene Wolf podcast you will find
Revisado: 12-11-22
This feels like you are with friends discussing a masterpiece. Phil and Metz will explain the important plot details and give you great insights into things easily overlooked in Gene Wolfs works, but will not completely leave no room for your own interpretation, or make you feel like you are at a lecture. Phil and Metz know the material very well and have a great sense of humor to keep you interested. I would recommend this to anyone that loves Gene Wolf.

Historia
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Classic

If you haven’t read this it’s time! I highly recommend new readers to watch the “Bram Stoker Dracula”Directed by Frances Ford Coppola. I think it works as a great companion piece of art.

Historia
At first, Logan Ramsay isn’t sure if anything’s different. He just feels a little . . . sharper. Better able to concentrate. Better at multitasking. Reading a bit faster, memorizing better, needing less sleep. But before long, he can’t deny it: Something’s happening to his brain. To his body. He’s starting to see the world, and those around him—even those he loves most—in whole new ways. The truth is, Logan’s genome has been hacked. And there’s a reason he’s been targeted for this upgrade.

Revisado: 07-23-22
This was amazing! I really love the themes of evolution as well as the consequences of progress. The idea that In the end we need compassion to tackle big things together, and to feel more and understand each other before it’s to late. Blake crouch asks if we can figure this out before the clock strikes 12.

Historia
The Sword of the Lictor is the third volume in Wolfe's remarkable epic, chronicling the odyssey of the wandering pilgrim called Severian, driven by a powerful and unfathomable destiny, as he carries out a dark mission far from his home.
Gene Wolfe's "The Book of the New Sun" is one of speculative fiction's most-honored series. In a 1998 poll, Locus Magazine rated the series behind only "The Lord of the Rings" and The Hobbit as the greatest fantasy work of all time.

Not a book that is easy to get a grip on. It is instead a book that will grip you in its immense layers and depths.

An actual must read

If you picked up this book read it. You will rarely find so much wisdom in one place. I would recommend taking your time. Don’t stretch the book out a year, but you can do it in 3 - 5 days light reading. This was my first read and I had a wonderful experience.

The book was a real great first novel. The story was fine, but this audio book makes a decision that pulled me out of the story often. There is this weird techno track they add in that doesn’t feel like it fits the story. Also for some reason it will play in the middle of chapters while characters are talking. Like I said great story. The presentation of it was a miss for me.

Good Story Bad Tones I’m some parts
Revisado: 09-26-21
There are some good surprises in store if you’ve only seen the movie. It was still a great adventure story. On the other hand it can get a little preachy and doesn’t completely elaborate in satisfying ways. Was not a fan of how a few crucial things had happened out of story in the background. At the end of the day this is the book that spawned the blockbuster and it worth a read.

A better movie for once
Revisado: 09-22-21
I enjoyed the book, but to be honest felt like it could have been trimmed down. Also a few writing pros made me laugh. “As focused as Karate students at an anatomy lecture” actually made me laugh out loud . Unfortunately I don’t believe this was supposed to be funny. I think having seen the movie first I was a bit let down and usually that goes the other way.
