In Wisdom, Shelter. That’s the official motto of the Scholomance. I suppose you could even argue that it’s true—only the wisdom is hard to come by, so the shelter’s scant. Our beloved school does its best to devour all its students—but now that I’ve reached my senior year and have actually won myself a handful of allies, it’s suddenly developed a particular craving for me. Even if I somehow make it through the endless waves of maleficaria that it keeps throwing at me, I haven’t any idea how my allies and I are going to make it through the graduation hall alive.

I love the series and really enjoyed this book. My one complaint is the profanity

I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life. Everyone loves Orion Lake. Everyone else, that is. Far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans. I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts; I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, making myself the dark queen of the world.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Pretty Good Sci Fi with a caveat
Revisado: 07-16-18
I enjoyed the Martian and figured I would give this book a try. It has the same things that I loved in the Martian- solid nerdy science and engineering woven seamlessly into a fun story. The only thing I didn't like was all of the profanity. Historically I didn't give a second thought to such things because your average hard sci fi book is written by a nerd, and nerds don't usually swear like sailors, but I wasn't very far in when all of the swearing really started to get on my nerves. I want a good bit of escapist fun firmly rooted in realistic science. I don't want to feel like I am overhearing high school locker room talk.

Bronx-born top turret-gunner Arthur Meyerowitz was on his second mission when he was shot down in 1943. He was one of only two men on the B-24 Liberator known as Harmful Lil Armful who escaped death or immediate capture on the ground. After fleeing the wreck, Arthur knocked on the door of an isolated farmhouse, whose owners hastily took him in. Fortunately, his hosts not only despised the Nazis but had a tight connection to the French resistance group Morhange and its founder, Marcel Taillandier.

The compelling story of a young soldier who bailed out of his B-24 over Nazi-occupied France, the audio performance was excellent and the story was compelling.

Father Ruiz-Sanchez is a dedicated man - a priest who is also a scientist, and a scientist who is also a human being. He has found no insoluble conflicts in his beliefs or his ethics...until he is sent to Lithia. There he comes upon a race of aliens who are admirable in every way except for their total reliance on cold reason; they are incapable of faith or belief. Confronted with a profound scientific riddle and ethical quandary, Father Ruiz-Sanchez soon finds himself torn.

A tale of two books
Revisado: 01-29-18
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I am on the fence. I loved the scenes that took place on Lithia. It was hard SF at its best- a compelling alien culture with good characterization and just the right mix of real science to give it flavor. After the scene changed to earth, however, the book was no longer compelling or entertaining to me. It started with the conclusion on Lithia- The father decided that Lithia could only be a planet created by the devil and he wanted to ban all travel there, so why would he agree to take a Lithian egg, which by his own logic could only contain a being created by satan, back to earth? It makes no sense at all, and neither does most of what comes next. With that one decision on Lithia onward, none of the characters are any longer sympathetic enough for me to care about them. The intelligent dialogue, scientific approach and great scenery are all dumped in favor of a series of actions that are literally incomprehensible carried out by characters who are uniformly dull and uninspiring.

In this Hugo Award-winning classic, Enoch Wallace is an ageless hermit, striding across his untended farm as he had done for over a century, still carrying the gun with which he had served in the Civil War. But what his neighbors must never know is that, inside his unchanging house, he meets with a host of unimaginable friends from the farthest stars.

Clifford simak is a grand master of science fiction and this novel shows why. The storyline is engaging, Enoch Wallace is an interesting character and there are enough plot twists to keep things interesting
