An old book that's interesting for fans of the Traveler RPG. Introduces terminology like "high passage", "low passage", and "travelers" as a lifestyle.

Historia
Phil Gish has always felt like a luck-forsaken little guy who never got a break. But he awakes one morning to overwhelming optimism and hope. The thing that brings him joy is the sudden appearance of a green cat that has jumped through the window of his tiny bachelor apartment. He decides to adopt the cat and names it Lucky. But Lucky has other plans, and the cat disappears from Phil's place as quickly as it jumped in.

Very much of its time

This isn't what we expect from modern science fiction. But it held my attention and was very interesting as a window into the time it was written.

Historia
When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

Nice use of a different supernatural tradition. But well integrated into the first book's world.

Historia
Nancy Kranich (played by Emmy-nominated actress Natasha Lyonne of Russian Doll and Orange Is the New Black) is a night nurse on an orbiting space station. But Nancy hates her job, is sick of space, and longs to find adventure and a safe place to smoke cigarettes that won’t blow everyone up. But when Nancy gets caught up in an outer-space conspiracy involving President Kennedy, former vice-president Richard Nixon, and an intergalactic object that could change the course of history, she gets way more adventure than she bargained for.

whatever
Revisado: 06-09-23
Listened to the first chapter and stopped there. Impressions of famous people and a big stereotype of a nurse. A tiny bit of alternative history. But no actual point nor enough humor to justify the time it's taking. I have free stuff I'll enjoy more, waiting in my "watch later" on youtube.

Historia
A retired group of legendary mercenaries get the band back together for one last impossible mission in this award-winning debut epic fantasy. Clay Cooper and his band were once the best of the best, the most feared and renowned crew of mercenaries this side of the Heartwyld. Their glory days long past, the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk, or a combination of the three. Then an ex-bandmate turns up at Clay's door with a plea for help - the kind of mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for. It's time to get the band back together.

Good characters
Revisado: 09-16-20
Like the Discworld books, this starts as a fun parody, but is also a story about characters who the author clearly cares about. Not Great Literature, but a really good book to enjoy on the drive home each day.

It sounds like a play

Interesting because it's different. Might be worth trying because it's short. The humor didn't quite work for me.

Historia
The war raged across the galaxy. Billions had died, billions more were doomed. Moons, planets, the very stars themselves, faced destruction, cold-blooded, brutal, and worse, random. The Idirans fought for their Faith; the Culture for its moral right to exist. Principles were at stake. There could be no surrender. Within the cosmic conflict, an individual crusade. Deep within a fabled labyrinth on a barren world, a Planet of the Dead proscribed to mortals, lay a fugitive Mind. Both the Culture and the Idirans sought it....

Good. But I think his later Culture novels are better, with more humor. You can tell that this is the first.

Wrong narrator for this book
Revisado: 02-17-20
Wrong narrator for this book. Very, very wrong. No energy. Wrong accent. I love the book. But this feels almost, but not quite, completely unlike the book.
