Book anticipation: David Weber – A Mighty Fortress
I’ve enjoyed David Weber’s “Honor Harrington” series and as I’ve commented before, I’m looking forward to the continuation of this story. I have this book on order and it’s currently scheduled to be released on April 13. The point of this post is primarily to see if it is possible to put some Amazon marketing [...]

Infected
by Scott Sigler
I have to say, this book is extremely graphic and not for the squeamish. But, if you like Invasion of the Body Snatcher type books and if you either (a) make sure you don’t eat while you read this, or (b) have an ironclad stomach, this book is a rollercoasterworth riding. The essential [...]
The Peace War /and/ Across Realtime
My friend wrote a review of this book, and I thought I’d write some comments.
I own this book and occasionally re-read it myself. I found the world as it existed during the Peace War to be an interesting exposition on how sciences would adapt to the loss of electricity. First with some scientists advancing technology [...]
Cyteen Regenesis
I’ve been waiting for this book since the early 90s when I originally picked up Cyteen. I’ll do a review in a month or so, I don’t want to give any major spoilers.

On friendship, nearby, and stuff
Scott posted a couple of interesting links and thanked me for some of my links. Among the interesting links he posted was a blog entry about the goal (of having your friends close), which starts off in such a way that I can agree, but ends sounds very self serving and selfish.
I know that I’m [...]
Book review: By Schism Rent Asunder
A good critic of any book always includes “I couldn’t put the book down” and this was definitely one of those books. Although from pre-reviews of the book, I got the impression that like book 1, we were to see some kind of reference to the days before Safehold, it turns out that no such [...]
Book Review: Iron Kissed
Strong female lead. Felt a little unhurried and cavalier through most of the story and then wrapped up with an intense, almost hurried, climactic scene. Thankfully the author handled the topic as sensitively as possible and with the judicious use of deus ex machina explanations we get to the end of the book with our sense [...]
Book released: By Schism Rent Asunder
Happy Day, my newest favorite book has been shipped (I say this in advance of having read it, but I have great expectations of David Weber.)
By Scism Rent Asunder, by David Weber
I am hoping to see my book by tomorrow!

Started reading the Off Armageddon Reef series by David Weber. I’m enjoying it, although it’s interesting to note (as one reviewer did) that the cast of the book is entirely male, no major female characters, and females make an appearance only rarely.
Finished reading [...]
