Robert Kennedy in His Own Words: The Unpublished Recollections of the Kennedy Years
AuthorRobert F. Kennedy
ISBN0553053167
There are some books that are right for certain times. Certain books that if you don't read them as a child, you won't ever appreciate properly if you try to read them as an adult. Books that when you pick them up and read them affect you in such a way that they never would have if you'd read them a year ago...or...

AuthorAlan Dean Foster

Alan Dean Foster has written, according to Wikipedia, over 100 novels, and as I was (re)reading The Hour Of The Gate I was trying to work out in my head if, based on sheer volume alone, Foster would rank as my favorite author.

I counted up the books I've read by him, and it's 18. The only other authors...

Secret of the Sixth Magic
AuthorLyndon Hardy
Originally published on my blog here in April 2001.

Having written his first novel around a carefully constructed theory of magic, Hardy undermines it in his second. It is set in a different country in the same world, with a new central character who is unfortunately very similar to the hero...

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...

The Wizard in Waiting
AuthorRobert Don Hughes
ISBN0345285743
This book as is true of many second books in trilogies has a slight issue of slowing down a bit in the middle third, while being faster paced in the 1st and last thirds. Despite that it is still an awesome read. It is such fun watching as some characters grow and learn, whilst others stubbornly stick to the...
