" Great sci-fi book and I rarely read sci-fi "
A Star Curiously Singing by Kerry Nietz
" This is the first book by Nietz that I have read. At first I was skeptical at the thought of sci-fi intertwined with overtly Christian ideas, but decided to buy it on a whim. I am glad I did, for the following reasons.

The first thing I noticed abo... " Read more of this review »

The Amazing Pitsville and The Beggar's Invisible Railways by Gabe Redel
“The Amazing Pitsville” defies description. What is it? Is it fantasy? Allegory? The ravings of a madman in book form? What? The author bills himself as a “writer of literary nonsense” but I’m not sure if “nonsense” describes it either. It is a uniqu...more

I’ve had “Day of War” on my eReader for quite some time, but just never found the right mood or opportunity to read it. (It came highly recommended.) Then we started studying the life of David in our home group, and it seemed like the perfect time. T...more

Space: 1999: Aftershock and Awe
by Andrew E.C. Gaska (Goodreads Author)
read in February, 2013
I have to say I was really impressed with “Aftershock and Awe.” The quality is topnotch—hard cover, thick pages, full color art throughout—and at a really reasonable price.

The storylines are fun too. Not only do readers get a glossy version of the o...more

Deviants by Maureen McGowan
Deviants (Dust Chronicles #1)
by Maureen McGowan (Goodreads Author)
read in February, 2013
“Deviants” is a readable dystopian fiction novel. The challenge for any sci-fi writer is to gather from the tropes of the genre and somehow present them in a unique and satisfying way. And at that, I think this novel does a fairly good job.
