The nitty-gritty: Gear does it again with another thrilling entry into his wonderful Donovan series. I love writers who are able to sustain long series by improving upon each book they write. Such is the case with W. Michael Gear’s Donovan series, I’m happy to report. Unreconciled, the latest edition in Gear’s action-packed science fiction […]
The nitty-gritty: A cleverly plotted sequel with plenty of mysteries, Titan’s Day is a strong entry into Stout’s fascinating retro/noir urban fantasy world. Last year I was surprised and delighted by Dan Stout’s debut, Titanshade, as were many other readers, and I couldn’t wait to get back into Stout’s unique world. And I’m happy to […]
The nitty-gritty: A perfect mash-up of fantasy and science fiction, this book is an ambitious tale full of sparkling characters, political maneuvering, a cool magic system and much more. Oh, and Kreshti ferns! OK, I was not prepared to love this as much as I did! I’ve read several reviews where the reviewer did not […]

This is my first Karen Lord book, and I found out after I finished it that it’s actually set in the same world as Redemption in Indigo. I’m wondering if I might have connected […]
The nitty-gritty: The action and intrigue continue with another winning entry in one of my favorite SF series. Warning: mild spoilers ahead for the first two books in the series. This series is so much fun, and I’m happy to report that the third book does a great job of moving things along plot-wise, while […]
The nitty-gritty: Welcome back to Donovan, where the human population is just as dangerous as the killer alien species on the planet. Abandoned is the sequel to Outpost, a book that completely surprised me when I read it earlier this year. And because of that, you should definitely read Outpost first. I love this series, […]
The nitty-gritty: A thrilling space adventure with danger around every corner—both alien and human. Outpost is a must read for all science fiction fans. I had no expectations going into Outpost, since I have yet to read any fellow blogger reviews of this book, and so I was delighted at how much fun this was! […]
