The Ultimate Fan's Book!
I am a huge fan of the "Indiana Jones" series, even though I was slightly disappointed with the most recent film. However, this `coffee-table' style book is a classic keeper! Authors J. W. Rinzler and Laurent Bouzereau piece together all the information any fan could want. From the inception where George Lucas and Steven Spielberg first start the process to the final sequel, there's a ton of ...

ROBERT E. HOWARD = THE BEST OF THE BEST!
The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian is one of my favorites. This book is fully illustrated throughout by Mark Schultz who does an excellent job! The Phoenix on the Sword is REH's first story of Conan. Some of REH's best stories are here: The God in The Bowl, The Tower in the Elephant, The Frost Giants Daughter, Queen of the Black Coast, Rogues in the House, and more. Robert E. Howard ...

Good but not Great
"Invincible" was a very good book. In fact, when I first read it, I was excited and interested in all aspects of the novel. I have read some of the scathing reviews here and as I think about how eloquently some people have put it, it isn't the great book I thought. I think because the series overall was lame, that the anticipation of this final installment was such that it seemed very good while ...
In Odd We Trust
Dean Koontz
Del Rey, 2008
“Meet a young man named Odd . . . who helps the dead get even." From the infinite imagination of #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz comes the suspenseful graphic-novel debut of a natural-born hero with a supernatural twist. Odd Thomas is a regular nineteen-year-old with an unusual gift: the ability to see the lingering spirits of the dead. To Odd, it’s not such a big deal. And most folks in sleepy Pico Mundo, ...

Fahrenheit 451
Fahrenheit 451 is the story of Guy Montag in a future where most people live their lives in willful ignorance and the job of firemen is to find books and burn them. The story follows Guy, who is a firemen, as his new neighbor gets him to open his eyes to the world around him. The plot is enough to keep any reader chugging along, but the main hook to this book is Ray Bradbury's disturbing ...

Star Wars: Fury
It was well written and synced nicely with the other stories that preceded this one. The author showed ruthlessness in the detail of the storyline turning on one of the beloved characters but used this as a strength to wrap up the end and lead in to the next installment.

Darth Bane and apprentice shine once more
Having fully enjoyed the first book i wasn't sure what to expect from this one. Well what can i say Drew Karpyshyn has out done himself once again. A truly magnificent work, i won't spoil it for you but the ending is brilliant. A must have for any true star war's fan.

Audio Indy
The Problem I have with the audio presentation of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is the narrator and the text. If you have not seen the movie, the novel is good way to enjoy Indiana Jones. HOWEVER Having seen the film, the text seems moot point. It overexplains what the film does can do in a few minutes of scene Now to the audio presenation narration, L.J. Ganser is a ...

A step forward, not sideways
Playing on modern-day threats of terrorism and the government overreactions that go along with them, Karen Traviss paints a chilling picture of Jacen Solo slipping into darkness by doing what seems right to him... and so very, very wrong to everybody around him. Part of what makes Karen's portrayal of Jacen work is how earnest he is; he *doesn't see* that he's repeating the mistakes of his ...

Awesome book!
If you are a Star Wars fan, this is a must-read novel. It's very engaging. I read this book (and could hardly put it down) in 2 days. You will not be sorry. It's not boring or over-filled with technical specs like some SW books are and it's got a great story that you want to see through to the end. As soon as I finished this book I went out and bought the next 3 in the series (from a book store ...

"... some are born with the spirit of the storm in their blood...."
Robert E. Howard is probably the most entertaining action writer you'll ever find, and Conan is an awesome character (and this is an awamazing 3-book series.....) Finally, the Howard resurgence we (I) have waited for has come to pass.... Amazing that Robert Jordan, L.Sprauge de Camp et al, can even sleep at night after their weakening of the Conan character.... Now it's time to reprint ...

Legacy of the Force: Inferno
I have come in during the middle of this series and, despite having only a partial view, this book is the best in the series. The book opens with Jacen manipulating Tahiri, who apparently is still swimming in grief over Anakin. A rather sorry state of affairs for a Jedi, if you ask me. Luke is in shock about Mara's death and his killing the wrong person in retaliation. Totally ...

Robert E. Howard
Del Rey, 2005
Conan is the man!
This is great stuff, utterly action-packed! Howard has a wonderful sense of words, and--though he makes the occasional error in cognate reuse (e.g., "the courier coursed down the corridor")--he describes people, places, and events in jaw-dropping detail. You can faint from the splendor of the fabulously wealthy cities and places he word-paints ('limns', to use a favorite term of his). I could do ...

Another tale from the Guide
The Guide explains that it is the exception which proves the rule. It goes on to give this example. Long ago, the Gloops of Alpha Nucleii, sited on the far side of the Galacticus Quadrant, were in thrall to the Thargs of the Grand Imperial Empire of Maxorphius. On the last evening of every bi-millennium cycle of the two Suns of Antiochus, which was, The Guide explained, the equivalent of two ...
