Review: “Star Wars: Red Harvest”

Review: “Star Wars: Red Harvest”

Michael Hickerson | February 7, 2011June 5, 2024

Following the success of last year’s “Death Troopers,” “Red Harvest” gives us another zombie/”Star Wars” mash-up.

This time instead of zombies attacking and eating the brains of storm troopers, it’s the Jedi taking on zombies.

Review: “The Enterprise of Death” by Jesse Bullington

Review: “The Enterprise of Death” by Jesse Bullington

Web Genii | July 15, 2011June 6, 2024

The Enterprise of Death really broke my normal reading rules. You see, normally if I stop reading a book that’s it — Game Over. I just don’t pick books back up and continue them. I did put The Enterprise of Death down several times, because it was just too intense for me. And, at one point I stopped reading it for a couple of weeks while I went on to other books

But I kept coming back to The Enterprise of Death, because I just had to find out what happened to the characters.

Review: “Southern Fire” by Juliet McKenna

Review: “Southern Fire” by Juliet McKenna

David Moldawer | September 26, 2005June 1, 2024

Juliet McKenna is the thinking fantasy reader’s author, the kind who dreams up fantasy elements and then works out the implications of those elements with the precision and thoughtfulness of a scientist, or, well, an SF writer. It’s clear throughout Southern Fire that McKenna is spinning her tale out of a deep, rich, internally consistent tapestry of details and textures.

Dual Review: “Twelve”, “Thirteen Years Later” by Jasper Kent

Dual Review: “Twelve”, “Thirteen Years Later” by Jasper Kent

Web Genii | September 25, 2011June 9, 2024 | 1 Comment

Before I start reviewing Twelve and Thirteen Years Later I have to go on a rant, a rant about books with serial killers. The success of The Silence of the Lambs has meant a huge number of books featuring serial killers. I find the popularity of serial killer characters unnerving and annoying. Unnerving, because this hero worship of insane killers, is well unnerving.

Review: “The Martian” by Andy Weir

Review: “The Martian” by Andy Weir

Stephen Carpenter | February 11, 2014May 31, 2024

The Martian is a decent hard Science Fiction novel and I certainly didn’t regret reading it. I just wish there was more substance to the protagonist’s side of the story. I hope that this will not be the only novel that Weir does, as I look forward to seeing how he grows as a writer.

Review: “Mercury Rises” by Robert Kroese

Review: “Mercury Rises” by Robert Kroese

Tia Bowman | November 25, 2011July 27, 2024

Mercury Rises is, above all things, a humorous book. It made me laugh, snicker, giggle, and snort (an embarrassing but satisfying thing to happen in the middle of a crowded room).

Review: “The Dragon DelaSangre” by Alan F. Troop

Review: “The Dragon DelaSangre” by Alan F. Troop

Joe Murphy | June 12, 2003June 7, 2024 | 4 Comments

Alan F. Troop writes well. His prose has a nice, tight style, and he tells a well constructed, if somewhat convoluted, story. I enjoyed large portions of the book. But the story suffers from two miscalculations that makes the book unfulfilling overall.

Review: “Star Wars: Death Troopers” by Joe Schreiber

Review: “Star Wars: Death Troopers” by Joe Schreiber

Tia Bowman | December 29, 2010June 1, 2024

In the limitless reaches of the Star Wars Expanded Universe, it’s quite shocking to consider that zombies do not appear more often. Well, until now. In Death Troopers, the horror of the undead is brought to the population of an Imperial prison barge, in particular two young brothers, the chief medical officer, and a couple familiar faces I won’t spoil.
