“The Klingon Gambit”: Star Trek Novelization Vangie13 cbr #17

February 2, 2014 by Vangie13 Leave a Comment

by Robert E Vardeman “Stroke the road, Captain.  See how you feel then,’ said the excited Lieutenant.  She knelt down and ran her hands over the velvety roadbed.  Her eyes closed and her entire body shivered as if she had some high fever.  But the expression on her face told that it was no high temperature but stark ecstasy she felt.” The Enterprise is ordered to Alnath II where the Klingon dreadnaught ‘Terror’ is suspected of murdering the innocent crew of a Vulcan science ship.

“The Entropy Effect”: Star Trek Novelization Vangie13 cbr #16

"The Entropy Effect by Vonda N. McIntyre

February 2, 2014 by Vangie13 Leave a Comment

by Vonda N. McIntyre “Well,’ Kirk said. ‘Mysteriouser and mysteriouser.’ He glanced at Spock, expecting a curious gaze in response to his poor grammar.  But then Spock said, straight-faced, ‘Curious, sir.  Most curious, sir.” I am delighted by this book! I love it! I do, and I have since the first time I read it, back in 1981. I don’t care if the science doesn’t hold up even by Star Trek standards. I don’t care if it’s another convoluted SF time travel story. I love […]

Clear Your Calendar, Turn Off Your Phone

February 2, 2014 by Another Kate Leave a Comment

Why is the very married Emma dreaming, almost every night, about another man, the handsome and rebellious Noah? Whose snarky voice echoes in her head, disapproving of nearly everything that she does? Why does she remember things that couldn’t possibly have happened, i.e., passionate lovemaking on the beach with this Noah, and that’s just for starters? And who is the mysterious Adrienne? These questions are explored — but not answered (you’ll have to read the book for that) at Heroes and Heartbreakers.

Girls in this book are all named things like Dylan, Zadie and Tempest

February 1, 2014 by Willynillyone Leave a Comment

Amelia didn’t jump. This is the text message Kate receives after her daughter Amelia allegedly jumps off the school roof. This prompts Kate to look further into Amelia’s death beyond agonizing about what more she could have done as a single parent working a bazillion hours a week as a lawyer. Amelia was a fifteen-year-old star student accused of plagiarizing an English paper, which the police attribute as the motive for suicide. As Kate investigates more, suicide becomes more and more unlikely. The story is […]

A visit to M.C. Escher Park: The Relativity of Dogs, Cats, and Bunnies

January 30, 2014 by sistercoyote 3 Comments

Radical Daffodils Review “… Orzel takes a conversational tone both with the reader and in his asides with Emmy, and if his teaching style is anything like his writing style I’d love to take one of his classes one day.”
