this really captures the feeling of asimov's laws of robotics and provides an interesting glimpse of what happens when aliens are entered into the equation. Bravo, Leigh!

De-mystifying Research
As a professor of fine arts who is interested in understanding research methods, and also embarking on a research project to complete the Ph.D. requirement for the Institute for the Study of Violence at the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis, I found this book an interesting enhancement to my study. Researchers present thoughts about their studies in a venue for the common man, which of ...

The Return of a Great Series
Browsing in a bookstore circa 1986 I came upon the first Wild Cards book. Curious, I bought it . .. and devoured it in a night.That set a patern I would follow with the release of all the subsequent books. The premise, the shared milieu, the contributions of the various writers, the twists, turns, and thrills, it was just so much fun. Like other fans, I was sorry when the series seemed to end, ...

Beautiful and Moving
"Dark Water's Embrace" revolves around a tiny colony of humans marooned on an alien planet, whose biology induces in them a high rate of mutation and infant mortality. In their struggle for life, they encounter odds that predict their long-term survival is impossible. Interspersed in this impending tragedy is the story of the planet's previous - and now ominously extinct - native race, the ...

Leigh McLeroy, Stephen Arterburn

Navpress Publishing Group, 2003

At turns funny and poignant, always refreshing
This is an engaging, honest book about the single life that is really fun to read. Leigh McLeroy takes the reader on a comprehensive tour of questions, incidents, and milestones that singles experience, and she guides with a blend of humility, confidence and spiritual insight. I really enjoyed reading this book and I've already gone back to it a number of times to be better acquainted with her ...

Leigh Brackett

Haffner Press, 2007

A 'must read' by the legions of Leigh Brackett fans.
The late Leigh Bracket (December 7, 1915 to March 17, 1978) was on of the first and most successful professional writers of Science Fiction and Fantasy. She was of the generation of writers (that included such luminaries as Robert A. heinlein, Jack Williamson, and Ray Bradbury) who were to elevate Science Fiction and Fantasy to the status of a respectable and commercially successful literary ...

This is the best book around on business writing.
The book came out in second edition in 1994 and includes how to write: letters, news releases, performance appraisals, reports, resumes, legal writing, news and feature articles. It's a practical handbook with so many useful style guides such as punctuation, word choice, spelling. A GREAT BOOK!

Eos, 1999

Thoughtful & challenging look at interspecies relations.
Taking place in the setting of the author's first novel, DARK WATER'S EMBRACE, but a century or so later, this is simply one of the best novels I have read in a long time. Stephen Leigh has a unique way of weaving a tale from the threads of multiple perspectives and timelines--creating a tapestry that is both beautiful and meaningful. If you are fond of the work of Ursala K LeGuin, you will ...

Ray Bradbury Presents: Dinosaur Conquest : A Novel (Ray Bradbury's Dinosaur)

Stephen Leigh

Avon Books (Mm), 1995

Shocking
What was shocking about this book wasn't anything in the plot (it was all rather predictable), but rather that Leigh actually wrote a decent book (who knows, maybe he is a decent writer, but you can't tell by this series). Kind of makes me wonder why he couldn't produce anything better earlier in the series.

Ray Bradbury Presents Dinosaur Samurai (Dinosaur World)

IBooks, 2004

the series is improving
Well, after the third book i can rate the book one higher. Maybe it was John Miller or maybe I'm just getting into the character, or maybe i've invested so much time i'm curious as to how the story will end. I think the reason I like this book better was the samurai world. Leigh never makes the mutata or the gairk understandable to the reader, at least with the samuria, we alreardy have an ...

I liked the book more than the previous reviewer
Everyone likes different things in books. I liked this one more than the previous reviewer did. It's not my favorite book of Leigh's, though. As he often does in his books, he explores issues of gender, this time by creating an alien society dominated by females.

Stephen Leigh

Avon Books (Mm), 1992

Great idea!!!
This book has an excellent idea behind it (what do you expect, it comes from a Ray Bradbury short story) and the world created is very interesting. But, it seems kind of juvenile. The language and culture of the Mutata seemed to have taken little thought. Peter and Eckles aren't developed at all, for that matter neither is Travis. The very idea of Mundo's world (and Mundo himself) is ...

The first book of this two-book set, entitled "Changeling", is about a robot tht can chnge forms, otherwise known as a 'doppleganger', and the robot was sent to an alien planet after it was created. It did not know what a "human" was, but its built-in programming told it tht it needed to serve humans. It tries to seek out intelligent life, not knowing that there is no human life on the planet.

Miller is what does it
I've noticed that the two books miller co-wrote are better than the rest of the series. Perhaps Leigh should have stepped off of this project and allowed miller to take over. (Kind of makes me wonder why Leigh brought him in to begin with)

Ray Bradbury Presents Dinosaur Warriors (Dinosaur World)

I Books, 2004

a new low
This was the worst book in the series. Why you ask? Because it was boring. Dull. I just couldn't get into it. Everything about it was boring. In fact the only reason I'm even going to read the last two books in the series is because of the time I've invested this far. (and I never did see the Spanish conquistadors mentioned on the back cover)
