I downloaded a bunch of free books from the Baen library, and I don't think a single one of them was any good, at least for my taste.
This one was--I don't know, maybe it's meant to be a middle-grade book, in which case some of the behaviour might make sense? But for an adult, it was just stupid. The...

Please Note: Read in January 2008 immediately after The Philosophical Strangler. Just copying over my review.
Thoughts: Combining prequel and aspects of similarity with The Philosophical Strangler, Forward the Mage is full of Rabelaisian nonsense that is certain to confuse and befuddle...
Jason Wood was just an information specialist - finding data for research, enhancing photos for the police, a nice, usually quiet profession whose only dangers came from and occasional crook trying to eliminate the evidence. The a body with two holes in its neck and no blood left turned up at his back...

Greetings one and all! After reading "Rats, Bats and Vats" (RBV) and "The Rats, the Bats and the Ugly" (RBU), I thought I would try Dave Freer's first novel. I'm very happy I did. It starts off on three different paths that eventually meet up and that's when things really take off.
I loved the characterization...

Planets of Adventure is an anthology of short stories. It contains one almost full-length story and several shorter stories, all of which are based on the theme implied by the title. The quality of the stories was pretty consistent – they weren’t terribly engaging, but they did hold my interest...

This book is a sequel to Black on Black, one of the few books I’ve rated with five stars. I think I liked this sequel even more than its predecessor. This book, Stars over Stars, built logically from the events and character growth of the previous book. However, it told an entirely new story on a new planet....

Before I say anything else, I want to state the book is entertaining enough to keep reading and can be considered standalone (very rare for fantasy nowadays). There are a couple of very original twists of the plot. The main hero's sidekick is a robot speaking mostly one-liners similar to Confucius teachings:...

Dalmas has skill and ability, but doesn't bring as much of it to bear on this book as he does on some of his other works. The premise is promising, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired, though it is technically rendered very well. The fault lies in the story, the character development, the characters,...

My old review for this didn't thrill me so here's the one I wrote as Dangerous Dan for BlackPigeonPress.com.
It's no secret that the pulps get Dangerous Dan as hot and bothered as a hillbilly with a jug of moonshine and two eager cousins, and a twist on an old favorite puts a little extra spring in...
