A Creed for the Third Millennium12 reviews
Colleen Mccullough

Avon, 1986

Very readable

Essentially there is nothing wrong with this book - in fact it is very compelling and readable and as such deserves a 4 star rating. Still in saying that I wonder what made Colleen write about such a religious event but duplicated in the future? It is not offensive in my mind but others who take ...

Chromosome 6144 reviews
Robin Cook

The Berkley Publishing Group, 1998

One of Cook's Best!!!

+ The Perils Of Genetic Engineering -- Interesting Topic, Gripping Action
+ Another Great Book!

This is one of my favorite Robin Cook books. This rather prophetically scary story weaves together genetic engineering and cloning in humans and primates. Given rapid advances in modern technology, a story like this not only could come true any day, but do we really have any idea whether ...
  
  











  



  
The Andromeda Strain376 reviews
Michael Crichton

Avon, 2003

Crichton's big ticket

+ Nice early work of Crichton

I actually saw the movie before I read the book. I thought the movie was really good until I read the book... Wow! Crichton's writing style is amazing and addictive! Now, when I see the movie, I still think it's good, but it pales in comparison to the book.
  
  











  



  
Foundation and Earth (The Isaac Asimov Collection Edition)1 review

Doubleday, 1986

The Last Book of the Foundation Series (in Foundation Timeline), 4 stars, 356 Pages, Publ 1986

Golan Trevize looks for Earth. The novel picks up right after the end of Foundation's Edge. I found Foundation's Edge slightly confusing in that there was something effecting the minds of both the Foundation confederation and the minds of the Second Foundation, and wasn't completely sure if it ...

Del Rey, 1987

A thrilling combination of 50's pulp sci-fi and reflective commentary

+ Fahrenheit 451: A Novel

By my count, this'll be the 1,218th review for this book on amazon, so what could I possibly say that the other 1,217 haven't? But for those few who dare dig this deep to read: I loved the book. I've read numerous novels and thrillers for fun, and also dabbled in more serious, non-fiction as ...
