Tanith Lee at her best
This is one of my favorite of Lee's books. It's about werewolves, wildness and the seduction of innocence.

David Gemmell

Legend paperbacks, 1995

A must read for Gemell fans!!
I couldnt believe there was no reviews for this book when I went to read what others had thought of it, The character Jon Shannow is one of the coolest loners ever, similar to the gunslinger in the Stephen King Dark Tower series if you like Gemmell you must read this book!!

Philip K. Dick, Ray Nelson

A pure masterpiece! Dick is really deep inside this one!
Hello. My name is Albert Godphrey and I love Phillip K. Dick. Dick uses basic writing techniques for this book, yet something about it grasps me. He really gets deep inside the human mind and shows why we act the way we do. He shows that some people will never give up and they will do whatever they need to survive, yet it also shows the meek and the weak. This book is also humorus. I was ...

do not believe the movie
the howling 3 the movie is NOTHING whatsoever like the book. if fact, the only thing the movie and the book have in common is the title. the book starts off with a pack of werewolves in the town barn, and the pack leader, Derek, wants to reveal the town's secret to his 15 year old son, since Derek believes he is old enough now. well, a neighboring town comes along on the outside and burns the ...

Immortality Inc.: The Basis for the Film " Freejack "

Robert Sheckley

Legend paperbacks, 1992

I think the previous review refers to a different book
"Immortality, Inc." is Sheckley's first novel. It has some claim to being his best. For the best part of the 1950s, Robert Sheckley bristled with ideas: he seemed to write a short story every other week, and very few of these fell flat. He wrote this novel in 1959, just as he was slowing down, and in many ways it's the apotheosis of his 50s writing style: slick, just as long as it needs to ...

Marion Zimmer Bradley

Legend paperbacks, 1991

Weak? Yes. Terrible? No. Enjoyable? I thought so.
The story is more simplistic than Bradley's best work, yes. It is not the best Darkover story, and not one I'd advise starting off with. However, for those familiar with the setting, it's an enjoyable tale, perhaps on par with _Star of Danger_: fun, light reading in a familiar world.

The Howling II

Gary Brandner

Legend paperbacks, 1984

Underappreciated
Apparently the previous reviewer saw the movie but didn't actually read this book. (They're completely different.) Nevertheless, this is a very fun and suspenseful sequel to Brander's original masterpiece. It might seem somewhat tame by today's standards but Brandner's work is always entertaining and perfectly plotted.

CITY OF TRUTH

James Morrow

Legend paperbacks, 1919

I?m all right, Jack. Who cares about you?
"City of Truth" is really two short stories, three if you count the brief final section. Each section is almost worth its own review, because they are so different. City I is a description of a society where people have perfect honesty literally burned into their brains. It's incredibly funny because it contrasts so completely with our own feel-good consumer society. Politicians candidly admit ...

Warning! This book will make you laugh!
This was my first Robert Asprin book, and it will not be my last. With a quirky cast of characters including a murderous princess, a kidnapped mentor, a silly pet dragon, a war unicorn, an absent king, and the mafia, not to mention the apprentice this story revolves around, this is truly an enjoyable read. It goes quickly enough to be a great vacation book, but don't wait to pick it up! Run out ...

The Wine of Violence

5 reviews
James Morrow

Legend paperbacks, 1991

Terrific debut novel
Subtitled "A Science Fiction Fable," The Wine of Violence was a wonderful beginning to Morrow's career. The central plot element is a fabulous (as in "fable") river into which planetary inhabitants routinely "decant" their violent impulses. The book begins when an outsider makes a forced landing on the planet, and discovers the society that results when violence is all but eliminated. It ...

The Hammer and the Cross

Legend paperbacks, 1993

Great, Excellent, Fantasic
I normally dislike alternate history. But this proved that people can pull this genre off. If you come to this book looking for stories about the Norse gods you won't find them. Instead, you find an Englishman who falls in among Viking raiders . He meets a Way-man(i.e. Asatruar) who tells him about the Asier and Vanir (Norse gods). His life from that point is then touched by his patron god ...

JAMES MORROW

Legend paperbacks, 1993

Adventurous satire
When the mile-long corpse of God plummets into the ocean and the angels begin to die of grief, the archangel Raphael's final act is to engage a disgraced freighter captain to tow the body to an Arctic tomb, where it will be preserved for eternity. His mission is complicated by the Vatican, militant atheists, and the World War II Reenactment Society. James Morrow has written an extraordinary ...

Eon

Greg Bear

Legend paperbacks, 1992

Not Free SF Reader
Eon is about a cold war over an alien artifact, if you can call it that, of immense scope. The knowledge and power to be gained from such a device leads, of course, to one country wanting to hoard it, and not allow others to get to the 'terrible secret' at the heart of the information to be gained there. Some mind-boggling technology to be found here.
