In Fury Born (Fury) 49 reviews David Weber
Baen, 2007
Fantastic! Thrilling!
+ Part 2 of ? isnt always fast paced... + Weber does it again!!!!
I love, love, love that David Weber is a man who obviously loves strong women, because he has created Alicia DeVries as another outstanding, waaaay atop the nearly unscalable peak of super women in the vein of Honor Harrington, a character that I didn't think could be surpassed EVER by any author, ...

Judas Unchained 21 reviews Peter F. Hamilton
Del Rey, 2007
Immensely satisfying sequel and conclusion
+ Another rollicking space opera from Hamilton + Pandora's Star plus Judas Unchained is 2000 pages of sci-fi adventure!
_Judas Unchained_ by Peter F. Hamilton is the exciting, action-packed sequel to his earlier work _Pandora's Star_, a book that completes this two-part series. I found it every bit as good as the first installment and found this novel a page-turner to the very end. There are even bigger battles and ...

Event: A Novel (Event Group Thrillers) 30 reviews David Golemon
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2007
Pick up Event and walk into another world
+ UFOs, Little Green Men, and A Hundred Bad Monsters...Oh MY!!! + Welcome to the Event Group!
While browsing for a few books to read during my beach trip, I came upon this green paperback book, only one left- always a good sign I thought. I always enjoy science fiction but had never read any by this author. A few pages read sold me on the story, and I was not dissapointed. This story ...

Sons of Fenris (Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf) 8 reviews Lee Lightner
Games Workshop, 2007
New writer, same great pulp
+ Sons of fenris a good read
I hardly noticed the changeover from William King to Lee Lightner on this series. The book was very engaging and while it setup at least a couple more books in the series it did it in such a way as to not seem too cliffhanger-ish, which was nice. I especially enjoyed that they stuck to the ...

The Sky People 38 reviews S.M. Stirling
Tor Science Fiction, 2007
Bringing Back the Golden Age
+ Super Reader + Paen to the Pulps and Burroughs
Venus and Mars are habitable, that's the basis for S. M. Stirling's Lords of Creation series. And they're exactly like what the pulp fiction and Golden Age Writers wrote.
The Sky People starts off in a Soviet bunker in Kazakhstan as their probe lands on Venus and the US probe lands on Mars. What ...

The Sky's the Limit (Star Trek: The Next Generation) 3 reviews
Star Trek, 2007
Satisfying. Enjoyable. Perfect Anniversary Book.
I gave this one 5 stars, first with the hope it will raise the overall rating, and second because, well, I felt the book deserved it. Seriously, I don't know what readers were expecting from an anthology celebrating the twentieth anniversary of The Next Generation, but from where I sat, this book ...

Cally's War (Posleen War Series #5) 82 reviews John Ringo, Julie Cochrane
Baen, 2006
Not his best
Cally reminds me a great deal of Honor Harrington made famous by David Weber in a prominent series she is a Mary Sue; albeit a very likeable Mary Sue.
Cally just didn't do it for me although I did like the setting of the story. We get to see what the earth was like after the invasion which ...
