The Adventure Continues

+ Super Reader
+ A Great Sequel! But not quite perfect...

This second installment is every bit as good as the first book. The story is starts off running and never slows down. Allston does an excellent job of conveying the characters emotions, and does it without interrupting the flow of the story. The story is clear and easy to follow despite the ...

I LOVE YOU

+ Decent fiction... great nonfiction
+ Not Free SF Reader

. . . is the last sentence of this novel, and leaves us with just the right swirl of emotion and wonder gyrating in our minds as we close the book.

+ Remember, it's a Russell, not a Foster book!

Riveting from the first page. Top read, Alan Dean Foster at his finest. Read half of the book in one day, couldn't put it down. Will there be a follow up? I hope so.

The Original Terminator...

+ Revisiting Friday

This is possibly Heinlein's BEST work. Think of the character Summer Glau portrays on Terminator, and add some Human qualities. I have always wondered why it is not made into a movie... This book ROCKS...!
