Nix's Old Kingdom trilogy is one of the best ever
For those of you who feel that dragons, unicorns, and bards are a bit overdone nowadays, this fantasy trilogy offers up a heroine who binds the dead with a bandolier of bells. The Geography of Death is lovingly delineated, from the prologue where Sabriel is born and dies and is rescued from the First Gate of Death by her father, to the third book in the trilogy, where the new Abhorsen braves ...

On Her Majesty's Occult Service

Charles Stross

Science Fiction Book Club, 2007

Amazingly undefinable, terrifically readable - don't miss it!
"On Her Majesty's Occult Service" consists of two main books, The Atrocity Archives and The Jennifer Morgue. The world that Stross has created is our world, but just one-half step over ... maybe. Or maybe not - maybe he has just provided us with the real story for the first time? Who knows? Mixing Cthonian mythos, quantum physics and metaphysics, mathematical metatheory and spy thriller, ...

Wizard's Castle (Howl's Moving Castle & Castle in the Air)

Diana Wynne Jones

Science Fiction Book Club, 2002

Wizard!
Diana Wynne-Jones has become one of the best known fantasy writers still around today. Wizards, witches, monsters and a good dose of comic relief characterize her books, including the solid duology "Howl's Moving Castle" and "Castle in the Air." In "Howl's Moving Castle," timid Sophie was the eldest of three daughters, meaning that she had nil chance of destiny finding a great place for her. ...

Chronicles of the Lensmen (The Lensmen Series, Volume 1)

5 reviews

Science Fiction Book Club, 1998

How it was is how it should be.
Imagine an advanced human, space-faring civilization where there are no computers. Imagine a world where everything was larger than life, the good guys wear white and the bad guys are sufficently dastardly to deserve a hearty "booooo!" in the cinema. Imagine a world where anything is achievable with suitable will of men. Picture exploration, daring, immense battles between the forces of good and ...

Not Just For Boys...
_Four Frontiers_ (2005) is an omnibus of the first four juvenile science fiction novels by Robert A. Heinlein: _Rocket Ship Galileo_ (1947), _Space Cadet_ (1948), _Red Planet_ (1949), and _Farmer in the Sky_ (1950). All were originally published by Scribner's. The first novel is clearly Heinlein's weakest juvenile, but some allowances should be made. It was a pioneering work of juvenile sf, and ...

Love Them
A Wrinkle Time was one of my first chapter books and I can still honestly say when I see my copy I want to pick it up and read it. I have read all of these books, multiple times and I love them all to death. If I could give these more than 5 stars I would. BUY THEM, not just for you but for generations yet to come.

The Psi Corps Trilogy (Babylon 5)

1 review
J. Gregory Keyes

Science Fiction Book Club, 1999

Great stuff
The first book in the series could get a little boring for some readers as it deals solely with the background and history of the organization, the Psi Corps in Babylon 5. Other than that I'd say the series was a success! The second book features Al Bester (the loved Psi Cop from the popular hit series, Babylon 5) starting off his adventures as a young boy instead of the policy enforcing, back ...

Elegy for a Lost Star (The Symphony of Ages II #2)

Science Fiction Book Club, 2004

The Calm Before the Storm...
Elegy for a Lost Star is, perhaps, one of the most gripping and breathe-taking book of the series. Once again, we have Achmed and Grunthor coming closer and closer to completing Ylorc, and Rhapsody being pregnant with Meridion. Ashe, Anborn, Gwydion and Llauron are there as well in all there glory. And Anwyn just won't die... This book caused me to double-take on my favorite character, Achmed ...

The Complete Skylark (Four Volumes in One)

E.E. "Doc" Smith

Science Fiction Book Club, 2003

Compelte Skylark
This is one of the two major works written by E.E. Doc Smith, predating the Lensman Saga. All four volumes in the skylark are contained in this large book. E.E. Doc Smith is a pulp writer, so the writing is fast paced, and about strong, smart men and beautiful, intelligent women. The science Fiction elements are campy, but in a good way that in many ways predates campiness entirely. Strongly ...

Laurell K Hamilton

The Science Fiction Book Club, 2005

Do not buy this book for this price!
As any Laurell K. Hamilton fan knows, her stories are THE BEST. I realize that this book is a resale item from someone other than Amazon.com, but you do not need to pay $50! I bought mine from the Science Fiction Book Club last month (11/2005)for $14! $50 is an UNBELIEVABLE mark up for an item that is still in print!

Tamora Pierce

Science Fiction Book Club, 2005

READ TITLE CAREFULLY!!!
Some of the reviews will tell you not to get this book because they were confused that it was new installment of the series. However, the description reads "Book 1 & 2"--therefore, you must read the description. As for the book itself, I found it to be a wonderful book. Full of mini-stories & mini-plots, it keeps you interested & your brain moving. For me, it was hard to put down until I was ...
