breathtaking speculation
Once in a while comes along a book with breathtaking speculation. Marcus Chowns latest "Dispatches from the frontline of science" certainly fits the description of being "breathtaking". In the words of Brian May (Queen guitarist): "Marcus Chown rocks". We sometimes forget how big and how weird the universe really is. And then it is nice that we have Marcus Chown around to remind us. There ...

Although dark like any of Vivian Vande Velde's works, this one wasn't particularly scary. I guess if I were 10 I might be creeped out, but I doubt it. The back of the book made it sound like the stories would keep one up at night. Maybe we're all just jaded these ...
