This review is for The Reality Dysfunction part 1 and 2 (The American edition I read divides this monster of a book into two books, which equal book 1 of The Night's Dawn trilogy)


So after reading the two books that comprise the Commonwealth Sagan and the Void trilogy, I can safetly say that...

This sequel to Dragon's Egg picks up right after the first... which is already rather extraordinary for regular time-constraint purposes.

Just imagine first-contact with little super-dense and fast-living aliens living on a neutron star passing through our Solar System. Now imagine...

I was... satisfied... with this book. It's a full length Bolo novel written by William H. Keith Jr. (Who goes by numerous pen names as well), but it wasn't up to the standards of the short stories or the full length novels written by other writers (like Ringo and Weber). The tanks aren't as likeable, the...

Interesting reimagining of the career of Sir Francis Drake, set in a far future, and from the point of view of one of his associates (I don't know enough of Drake's history to know if the viewpoint character is based on a real character in Drake's life).

Where Drake fought to give England a place...

ISBN	1617206563

Mostly boring with scattered average bits. The author tried to create long lived aliens but their cultures didn't reflect their longevity . Nothing really fit right and there was no genuine depth. A hodgepodge of ideas strung together badly. Mocking faith at the beginning then introducing worshipped...
