Speaker for the Dead (Ender, Book 2)

398 reviews
Orson Scott Card

Tor Books, 1994

The best book.
I'm 12 years old and an avid book reader and have read all of this series and enjoyed every one. This book has affected me more deeply than anything I have ever read. It is deep enough to almost seem like philisophical literature, but it is not for people who get bored easily, because it is long and has virtually no action. For fans of Enders Game, my favorite ever, this will have to be a ...

Excellent return to the world of Corona
In Corona the magical gem enchanted with Abellican healing powers enables formerly crippled Bransen Garibond to walk with confidence; he also conceals his Jhesta Tu mystical sword made by his late mother Sen Wi that bolsters his self-assurance further. Currently, he, his beautiful wife Cadayle and his mother-in-law Callen DuWornay are on a quest to find his father, the monk Bran Dynard, whom he ...

Tor Books, 2007

Great Story
I didn't know this story existed until after the movie a friend of mine told me he had read it and wanted to see how they adapted parts to the movie. And after reading it, I can attest that it was close to the story. I can tell what was going through the character's head while he's alone, which is one thing that I like more about books than movies. All in all, the movie was very close to the ...

Confessor: Chainfire Trilogy, Part 3 (Sword Of Truth, Book 11)

Terry Goodkind

Tor Books, 2007

Was there a deadline?
It sure did wind up quickly, did he have to push the last one. I get the feeling he would have used, "And they lived happily ever after". It was truly a page turner from the midpoint. I liked the reintroduction of the old characters, but could have used more of them in the storyline. Awful windy on the decription of clothes and rooms. It was a good read.

By Schism Rent Asunder
David Weber

Tor Books, 2008

The world has changed. The mercantile kingdom of Charis has prevailed over the alliance designed to exterminate it. Armed with better sailing vessels, better guns and better devices of all sorts, Charis faced the combined navies of the rest of the world at Darcos Sound and Armageddon Reef, and broke them. Despite the implacable hostility of the Church of God Awaiting, Charis still stands, still free, still tolerant, still an island of innovation ...

In the Courts of the Crimson Kings

Tor Books, 2008

A wonderful sci-fi adventure romp
I've seriously haven't had as much fun with a book for a long while. Thank you S.M. Stirling for providing a great experience, with both books. Actually, In the Courts of the Crimson Kings was much better, for a sequel, though Sky People is a fun tale as well. There is quite a bit of potential for a sequel, which I hope Stirling will pursue

Better than the first....
Sequels are seldom better than the original.....Read this and see that it's very possible. A great read, you will not put it down.

Reaper's Gale: Book Seven of The Malazan Book of the Fallen

9 reviews
Steven Erikson

Tor Books, 2008

Erikson's monumental saga continues...another masterpiece!
Another great addition to the "Malazan Book of the Fallen" series. Erikson's latest book (the 7th in the series) is set in the locale of Lether; an area that has been conquered by the Tiste Edur but is stilled "governed" by the Letheriis (with some non-too subtle direction from the Edur). Some internal strife is beginning to show and the backstabbing and double dealing has begun. As with ...

Terry Goodkind

Tor Books, 2002

Second set is even better than the first
This set contains books 4-6 of Terry Goodkind's wonderful epic fantasy series The Sword of Truth: Temple of the Winds, Soul of the Fire, and Faith of the Fallen. Temple of the Winds - 5 stars. This is the installment of the Sword of Truth series in which Terry Goodkind really comes into his own as a mature stylist and plotter. It is noticeably the best-written of the series up to this ...

Contact Harvest (Halo)

40 reviews
Joseph Staten

Tor Books, 2007

A book for all Halo fans.
This is a different type of Halo book, no SPARTANs, but still a good read for any true Halo fan. This book fleshes out Sergeant Johnson, the brutes (Tartarus in particular), A.I.s, and the first Human - Covenant contact. Compared to other Halo books (like; Fall of Reach) this book is lacking in the heroic fight(s) category. It does have plenty of action but not on a huge scale. I would also ...

The Well of Ascension (Mistborn, Book 2)

Brandon Sanderson

Tor Books, 2007

Fantastic book
The Well of Ascension is a great book, that develops on a truly engrossing world. The only downfall, is it ends too soon. Highly recommended.

The Wheel of Time (Boxed Set #1)

Robert Jordan

Tor Books, 1993

Wonderful series, hoping for a super ending!
Robert Jordan will be sorely missed, but the final book will go on. His widow, Harriet, picked Brandon Sanderson to finish the series. It is expected to come out in the Fall of 09. I know I can hardly wait, I'm just glad I found the series a few years ago as I wouldn't have been able to stand waiting for each one to come out. Goodbye RJ, you will live on in all of your wonderful work.

Tor Books, 1998

Wow...
The Sword of Truth has got everything required to glue you to your favorite reading chair for a good long time. The series begins with what seems like a completely normal character in a completely normal world, but things aren't always what they look like... Magic, epic battles, despair, hope, victories, defeats, love, hate, good, evil.. This is some of the words covering this epic fantasy, ...

Robert Jordan

Tor Books, 2005

A Fond Farewell
First of all, a few months late, a fond farewell to Robert Jordan. He persevered for over a decade to bring us one of the greatest fantasy epics of my generation. He, however, passed before he was able to see his journey to its completion. Knife of Dreams, while not quite on par with the beginning of the series, is still a good read: intriguing, novel, and just plain good. It advances ...

Relic

Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child

Tor Books, 2007

A real thriller
The RELIC was a book with unexpected excitement. One that gets your attention very early in the story and carries you along very nicely and than brings an unexpected excitement near the end. A real thriller and worth reading ... Well done.

Zoe's Tale
John Scalzi

Tor Books, 2008

How do you tell your part in the biggest tale in history? I ask because it's what I have to do. I'm Zoe Boutin Perry: A colonist stranded on a deadly pioneer world. Holy icon to a race of aliens. A player (and a pawn) in a interstellar chess match to save humanity, or to see it fall. Witness to history. Friend. Daughter. Human. Seventeen years old. Everyone on Earth knows the tale I am part of. But you don't know my tale: How I did what I did ...

Ender's Game Boxed Set: Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon

Orson Scott Card

Tor Books, 2002

THE best series of books EVER written!
I have read this series countless times because it has everything I look for in a story. I have read in excess of 6000 scifi novels over 30 years of life and have NEVER found a story I would call the equal of Ender's Game. I did not like the Speaker for the Dead or Children of the Mind but; Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hedgmon, Shadow Puppets, and Shadow of the Giant are all excellent. The king ...

In the previous volume, John Perry and Jane Sagan are discharged from the Colonial Defense Forces and gain custody of Zoe Boutin.

Eric Nylund

Tor Books, 2007

Awsome Prequel to Halo 3
This book was done remarkably well, despite the absense of Master Chief. You really get to know the other Spartans better...almost to the point that you just about tear up when they get mortally wounded. It mentions the civil war going on between the Elites and the rest of the Convenant, but still keeps the Elites in the villian spotlight. The ending of the book was definately NOT what I was ...
