Claws that Catch (Looking Glass, Book 4)

5 reviews

Baen, 2008

The Vorpal Blade Spaces Again
Claws That Catch (2008) is the fourth SF novel in the William Weaver series, following Manxome Foe. In the previous volume, the Vorpal Blade was damaged so severely that it was replaced. The casualty rate was not as bad as the first voyage, but the losses were still heavy. Most of the survivors were decorated and promoted. Two-Gun was sent to OCS by presidential order. In this novel, ...

Star Trek: Destiny: Lost Souls (Star Trek)
David Mack

Star Trek, 2008

The soldiers of Armageddon are on the march, laying waste to worlds in their passage. An audacious plan could stop them forever, but it carries risks that one starship captain is unwilling to take. For Captain Jean-Luc Picard, defending the future has never been so important, or so personal -- and the wrong choice will cost him everything for which he has struggled and suffered. For Captain William Riker, that choice has already been made. ...

This book rocks!
This is a terrific book independent of the game. The book is extremely well written. The combat scenes in this are some of the best I have ever read. Forget that this has anything to do with a video game. This is hard core, hard as nails military science fiction. You won't be disappointed.

A little history for Star Wars fans.
This was a great book. A friend and I had been talking one day about trying to find out if there was any history on the Millennium Falcon, and a few weeks later I heard about this book being in the works. I was excited about the possibilities, and was not disappointed. You find out that the ship is like her Captain, full of surprises. It may be a bucket of bolts, but it has seen more action ...

Stop reading the reviews and buy the book. An all time classic. D Mack gets it right on every turn. And to think there are two more books behind this one. What a book!!

Star Trek: Destiny: Mere Mortals (Star Trek)

Star Trek, 2008

About Time
After the almost child-like and flat writting in Greater than the Sum I was about ready to give up on TNG works. While not nearly as stupid as the Voyager relaunched it certainly found itself leaning to that simple third grade writing style rather than the rich, compelling and complicated beauty that is the DS9 works, in particular the fabulous Terok Nor trilogy. However, the first two books, ...

Storm from the Shadows
David Weber

Baen, 2009

Rear Admiral Michelle Henke was commanding one of the ships in a force led by Honor Harrington in an all-out space battle. The odds were against the Star Kingdom forces, and they had to run. But Michelle?s ship was crippled, and had to be destroyed to prevent superior Manticoran technology from falling into Havenite hands, and she and her surviving crew were taken prisoner. Much to her surprise, she was repatriated to Manticore, carrying a ...

Absolutely Amazing! KANDOSII!!!
This whole series is fantastic. I laughed, cried, cheered, cursed and hoped. I found it to be a refreshing look at what the 'clones' actually did and how they contributed to the republic. Who would have thought that each clone had a different personality! SPECTACULAR! I pray there are more to come! I'd love to know the trials Kad'ika goes through! Kandosii Kar'ika! OYA! Ke nu'jurkadir sha ...

Rule of Two (Star Wars: Darth Bane, Book 2)

Del Rey, 2008

Best starwars book ever!
The work of a genius to sum it up. Darth Bane rule of two is a journey into the darkside of the force from the perspective of two siths and a Jedi bent on exposing them. It was masterly crafted ande the action leaves one craving more. I only hope a third installment is in the works, it would be a shame if this series ends here.

The Force Unleashed (Star Wars)

Del Rey, 2008

An excellent addition to anyone's Star Wars Collection.
Based off the video game, I liked the novel better than the comic. If you can't afford to buy a next-gen game system and video game, then this is the next best way to go. If you liked the game, this gives further insight and expands on the story. If you want to know about a key piece of the Star Wars tapestry, then I highly recommend buying this book and/or the game. A solid entry into the ...

Larry Niven lives up to his award-winning reputation
Fleet of Worlds is the unabridged audiobook rendition of Larry Niven and Edward M. Lerner's joint science fiction prequel to Niven's first Ringworld novel. The intelligent and driven Kirsten Quinn-Kovacs serves the Citizens, a gentle race that rescued her ancestors from a dying starship out of gratitude; when a cosmic catastrophe threatens all life in the galaxy, the Citizens flee along with ...

younger brother and I loved it
Great story leading up to the next mass effect. Mass effect created a great universe to explore and its great to have these books to fill in the back story.

The Last Colony

John Scalzi

Tor Science Fiction, 2008

Twenty-five hundred pawns to king four
Scalzi's third book, at least to start, moves at an easier pace than the ones before. The protagonists of the last books have retired from the military and cast off their olive drab (skin that is). They've settled down to farming, quieting petty feuds in their community, and raising a daughter. Then comes the offer: to lead colonization of a new world. Uprooting their family hurts a bit, but they ...

Fantastic Star Wars Story By A Fantastic Author
This is the first book in the outstanding Republic Commando series written by a fantastic author in Karen Traviss, who by the way has my heartfelt support for any book she decides to write in the Star Wars universe. The books written by her in the Legacy of the Force series, where easily the best ones out of all the authors who had written books in the series. This book begins to tell the ...

A great story continues...
I'm really enjoying this series - this book is just as good as the first in the series - so keep reading! As I said in my review of "Jedi Twilight" I am just thrilled to see a whole new cast of characters in the Star Wars universe and I really am glad to see their further development in this book. In this book you have the main core of characters really dealing with a few unrelated plot ...

David Weber, Eric Flint

Baen, 2008

Interesting Times in Denmark
1634: The Baltic War (2007) is the seventh SF novel in the Assiti Shards series, following 1635: The Cannon Law. Obviously, this novel actually precedes the previous volume by internal chronology. The League of Ostend has King and Emperor Gustav Adolf surrounded in the fortified town of Luebeck. However, League attacks have been repelled several times by artillery, scuba divers and ...

Dragon Harper (Dragonriders of Pern, The)

38 reviews
Anne Mccaffrey, Todd J. Mccaffrey

Del Rey, 2008

Not excellent, but good and worth reading
I think a couple of these reviews are a bit harsh. Sure, Todd has to find his way around and always will be measured against his mother's legacy - and that's a tough one! So far I've liked all the "mother/son" collaboration results. This one is not so much about dragons, but honestly - I don't think a Pern-novel has to be about dragons. I've always enjoyed the intricate display of a much ...
