True Colors (Star Wars: Republic Commando) 26 reviews Karen Traviss
Del Rey, 2007
Traviss raises the bar for SW novels
+ Traviss understands her characters' shades of grey. + Very good book and trilogy
True Colors is what most SW books are not: intelligent, dramatic, internally realistic, and morally complex.
A sequel to the previous Republic Commando novel, Triple Zero, True Colors follows Delta and Omega Squads as they seek to capture scientist Ko Sai, the master geneticist of the ...

Dancing With Werewolves: Delilah Street, Paranormal Investigator 47 reviews Carole Nelson Douglas
Juno Books, 2007
Enjoyable urban fantasy with a sprinkling of hot romance!
I nearly didnt read this book because of the bad reviews but when I did - I had to reread the reviews to see what others were commenting on.
OK so we all have a different take on what makes a good book but I am a little lost on the poorly written, doesnt flow theme featured here. I picked the ...

Fearless (The Lost Fleet, Book 2) 56 reviews Jack Campbell
Ace, 2007
Rip Van Winkle in Space - Part 2
+ Enjoyable + Fearless: The Lost Fleet book 2
This is the second book in the Lost Fleet series and it does not disappoint. The space battles are presented in crisp clean prose, with believable attention to physics. The hero, John "Black Jack" Geary evolves and changes under pressure and even, with due discretion, acquires a girlfriend. ...

Sandworms of Dune 111 reviews Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson
Tor Books, 2007
It's not that bad
when I got 20 pages into House Harkonen after sitting through the House Atreides on Tape during a really long drive, I threw it in the trash becasue it read more like fan fiction than something from Frank Herbert's Universe.
But After reading all the original Dune books, I couldn't resist ...

Descent of Angels (The Horus Heresy) 54 reviews Mitchell Scanlon
Games Workshop, 2007
A good prequel, if slightly frustrating
+ A prequel, but a good one
Descent of Angels is most definetly a prequel novel to the Horus Heresy even though it is released after the first three books. It describes the rise of the Dark Angels from before the time of the Imperium and a little after they were discovered by the Emperor. It is a interesting read up until ...

Fury (Star Wars: Legacy of the Force, Book 7) 31 reviews Aaron Allston
Del Rey, 2007
Star Wars: Fury
+ Loved This Book!!! + Legacy of the Force: Fury
It was well written and synced nicely with the other stories that preceded this one. The author showed ruthlessness in the detail of the storyline turning on one of the beloved characters but used this as a strength to wrap up the end and lead in to the next installment.

The Forever War 296 reviews Joe Haldeman
Eos, 2003
A easy and enjoyable SF read--with bonus social commentary
+ One of the best War/Sci Fi novels out there
I finally read the classic 1974 sci-fi novel by Joe Haldeman called The Forever War which won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards in 1975 and 1976, respectively. These are pretty significant achievements and it would be difficult for a book to live up to them.
This one does.
The central premise ...

The High King's Tomb (Green Rider, Book 3) 48 reviews Kristen Britain
DAW Hardcover, 2007
Great book!
+ Amazing detail, character development
This third installment in the Green Rider series was a good adventure! There were many surprises as well as some predictable moments, but not enough that made me like the book any less. I really enjoy Britain's writing style, and like how it is in a way a very cliched fantasy, but at the same time ...
