Jason has amnesia. He wakes up on a school bus on the way to the Grand Canyon with what appears to be his very confused girlfriend (Piper) and a bemused, slightly disbelieving best friend (Leo) who both seem very surprised that he can’t remember spending the last few months together at the “Wilderness School”, a boarding school for juvenile delinquents. Not that the field trip to the Canyon makes things better. One of the other school kids sprouts wings, and tries to kill Jason and […]
“If I was afraid of dying, I couldn’t do half of the shit I do.”
This is the third and final book in the Paradox series. It really won’t make a whole lot of sense or be particularly satisfying if you haven’t read the first two books in the trilogy. Start at the beginning with Fortune’s Pawn. It’s a really fun, action-packed series with great world building., so if you like space adventure, you are unlikely to regret it. It also goes without saying that there may be spoilers for the previous books in the series in this review. Proceed […]
Pretty much wall to wall action in this one
4.5 stars This is the second book in the Paradox series, which begins with Fortune’s Pawn. While I’m sure you could start with this one, there is really rather a lot of set-up and introduction of characters in the first one that makes this one easier to enjoy, so you really should start at the beginning. It’s also impossible for me to review this book without spoiling some of the stuff from the first book, so go away until you’re caught up. Deviana Morris is […]

The future is ADVENTURE! Ready, Steady, GO!
Target: Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One Profile: Science Fiction, Speculative Fiction, Pop Culture, Adventure! Ready Player One is one of those books that’s been sitting on the shelves at Barnes and Nobel taunting me with nearly universal acclaim for longer than I care to think about. Not only that, but it falls clearly into my ‘near future, speculative fiction’ bailiwick and even focuses on video game culture, so I really have no excuse as to why I’m only just now adding it to my library.
