Hiero's Journey19 reviews
Sterling E. Lanier

Del Rey, 1983

Excellent Book

+ One of the best
+ PHENOMENAL

"Hiero's Journey" is a great book, and would make a pretty darn cool movie. Mr. Lanier is quite creative, especially with his ideas on what sort of civilization might emerge from the ashes of a nuclear conflict (a semi-republic centered on monasteries in western Canada, where the damage might have ...

Ace, 1987

On my list of must-reads . . .

+ Le Guin's Masterpiece
+ Can't put it down

I probably first read this book long before many of the posters were born, but not in a vacuum-I also read all of the other Hainish novels I could find. For whatever reason, the Hainish novels have always held my attention in a way that the Earthsea books do not. I was always struck, not by the ...

Stranger in a Strange Land538 reviews
Robert A. Heinlein

Ace, 1987

Mindblowing, if you can grok it.

+ Excelent Read...

This novel is an absolute masterpiece. As with any great Science Fiction [this is the rare hard fiction variety], paradigms dissolve to explore humanity, spirituality and other topics on levels normally taboo to mainstream minds. This novel may be read on a multitude of layers for those minds ...

a contemporary work with the air of the classics

+ Great Read
+ When We Dead Awaken

I have always been fond of ghost stories and movies. I have seen or read any such work that fell in my hands. These works have been so many that - I think - I have formed a taste concerning this particular genre. This novel is one of the most absorbing reads. I could have finished reading it in one ...
