This is one of my all time favorite books. I probably read it at least once a year.
This is set in the future, where EVERYONE lives in the City. "The City is old" is something that is said often.
I loved it cause it was dirty and gritty, and people were weird and creepy. It was like Logan's Run...

In the 27th Century, international disputes are resolved through time travel, "clocking" soldiers from the future into conflicts of the past. It seemed like an elegant idea: wartime industries drove the economy without actually putting nations through the physical ravages of war. And since the...

Blood: A Southern Fantasy
At times it reads as an experimental work: how little concrete information can Moorcock actually put on paper while retaining an accessible narrative? Whole swaths of ideas, from the nature of the machinoix to the Second Ether itself, hurl past, and the reader's imagination is left to construct a picture...

The Cyclon Death Machine by Glen Larson and Robert Thurston is the second book in the Battlestar Galatica series. The story was a good fun adventure story but a very poor science fiction story. What I mean by that is that there was no logic at all in the way things work, it felt like it was written by one of the...
