The Fox, the Crow, and the Shadow

May 26, 2014 by Ewandini Leave a Comment

Set in 17th century London, I, Coriander is the story of a girl who finds things very strange. Things go on around her that she doesn’t understand like her father is constantly saying, “Don’t touch these, don’t touch those,” especially with these silver shoes that she found with the letter “C” for Coriander, but apparently she can’t have them. And then things get much more complicated. Her mom dies at the sight of a crow, her dad marries a woman who is way too religious, […]

They Fuck You Up, Your Mum and Dad. Return the Favor.

May 26, 2014 by Another Kate Leave a Comment

We Need to Talk About Kevin is a character study of a very unhappy woman who believes that she deserves to be unhappy, and maybe she does, but maybe she doesn’t, and her hate is a form of love and her love is a form of hatred. Through Eva, Shriver takes you on a powerful, haunting journey. Whether or not it’s a journey you’ll be glad you took is another question entirely. Find out why here.

CANNONBALL! “Shadow Lord ”: Star Trek Novel Vangie13 cbr #52

May 26, 2014 by Vangie13 9 Comments

by Laurence Yep “I speak from experience,” Mr. Spock said coldly. People are continually asking me to play roles in petty emotional melodramas in which I have asked neither to be cast nor directed.” Well, we go from the wonder and joy of “Uhura’s Song” to this. I don’t know what this is. Prince Vikram, 9th in line to the throne of the planet Angira, was sent to the Federation to study and bring back new modernized ways to his planet. Spock and Sulu travel […]

May 25, 2014 by Vangie13 2 Comments

by Janet Kagan “Sivao, where the north star beat like the heart of a child…” An insidious disease is ravaging the Federation. It began on Eeiauo and spread before it was known to be cross-species contagious. On her first mission, Uhura befriended a diplomat/dancer/singer from Eeiauo. They exchanged taboo songs and promised to never tell a soul. Uhura believes these secret songs may hold clues to cure the epidemic. Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise must decipher the songs to cure the plague. […]

“The Vulcan Academy Murders ”: Star Trek Novel Vangie13 cbr #50

May 25, 2014 by Vangie13 6 Comments

by Jean Lorrah “If you cannot be logical, be silent.” We open with a space battle between Enterprise and some Klingons. Chekov is injured. Spock quotes Hamlet. Crewman Remington is mortally injured, completely paralyzed from the skull down, but alive. McCoy can’t cure him, but Spock believes the doctors at the Vulcan Science Academy can. You see, Spock’s mother Amanda has degenerative xenosis. It is like an allergy to living on an alien world and thought to be incurable. A team of doctors at the […]

Please, Anne Bishop, please write more of these.

May 25, 2014 by scootsa1000 Leave a Comment

A few months ago, I was delighted to stumble upon Written in Red, the first in “the others” series from Anne Bishop. Written in Red was the story of a world where creatures like vampires and werewolves are real, living in cities with humans, but barely tolerating them. Their world is a world where humans are seen as little more than meat. That is, until Meg, a blood prophet on the run from her captors, finds herself suddenly wrapped up in their lives and under their protection. In […]
