Building Big
AuthorDavid Macaulay

AuthorRichard Paul Russo
ISBN0441013899
This is the second book I've read by the author and, though it definitely isn't as good as Ship of Fools, I found myself enjoying it quite a lot. I'm fairly new to scifi, I know world building is suppose to be a huge element and there was some of that in the book, but I think Russo's main strength is in his writing...

AuthorJoe Haldeman
ISBN0451452585
As my first foray into Haldeman's writing, I was swept away with his twists and turns and original plots. Some stories were not overtly science fiction and I appreciated them equally. I was quite impressed with how much he could convey with so little and can't wait to pick up a novel to see where he takes...
AuthorJames P. Hogan
ISBN0671877577
I went through a big Jim Hogan kick a few years back. I picked this one up recently in a second-hand bookshop, and I think I can now more clearly see both Hogan's strengths and his weaknesses. He's easy to get addicted to, easy to dislike when you're not addicted.

The premise: the Allies lost the...

Lee and Grant
AuthorGene Smith
ISBN0883940736
A great dual biography of Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, of course also with excellent Civil War knowledge. I liked that the format went -Lee Chapter, Grant Chapter, Lee Chapter, Grant Chapter- the switching off made it feel like you were learning the maximum amount about both men, and keeping the...
AuthorJames F. Dunnigan
ISBN0688122884
"Dirty Little Secrets of World War II " exposes the dark, irreverent, misunderstood, and often tragicomic aspects of military operations during World War II, many of them virtually unknown even to military buffs. Like its successful predecessor, "Dirty Little Secrets," Dunnigan and Nofi's new...

Conrad's Time Machine: A Prequel to the Adventures of Conrad Stargard
AuthorLeo Frankowski
ISBN0743471911
I have been a big fan of the Cross Time Engineer series since the beginning. However, this novel was a bit of a let down. I guess the biggest thing that it did was fill in some of the blanks with regards to how things came to be. However, the writing was a bit wonky as I knew where they were going with the story line,...
