by Melinda Snodgrass “Tension was turning (Spock’s) head and neck into a mass of pain, and he bitterly regretted the series of circumstances which had left him trapped helplessly here on the planet’s surface while far overhead, in the frigid darkness of space, his captain battled for his life.” Ok, I’m done with my Vulcan/Romulan sidetrack. I can now get back to my chronological journey through Star Trek Novels. Top of the list is another novel I remember being a favorite. Let’s see if it […]
Are any of us really innocent when we get down to it?
3.5 stars This is book 24 in the In Death series. I wouldn’t recommend starting with this one, although if you’re interested in plot summaries of earlier ones, I’ve reviewed most of the previous ones on the blog. My experience is that either you really like these books, or you don’t. There seems to be very little in-between. Craig Foster is planning a history quiz for his pupils at a New York private school while having lunch, and dies horribly from ricin poisoning at his desk. The […]
There’s a sexy cook, but this heroine’s heart really belongs to her space armour
I picked up this book because one of my favourite authors, Ilona Andrews, recommended it on her blog. I don’t normally like science fiction all that much, but this seemed to be focused more on action and adventure, and I’ve liked recommendation from her blog before, and figured I’d give it a try. Deviana “Devi” Morris is a professional mercenary, and has pretty much risen as fast and as high in the ranks of the elite corps of the Blackbirds as she can go. Her dream […]

A witty and satirical take on social networking, society and privacy.
The Circle is the world’s biggest social network. Part Google, part Facebook and all encompassing, it’s a seemingly benevolent force that everybody is signed up with, and the workplace to aspire to. So when Mae Holland is offered a job, it isn’t hard to see why she’s so enamoured with it, rising her way up the food chain and buying into everything that entails. There are tell-tale signs that the company might have more power and reach than necessary, but she brushes them off, even […]
“Vulcan’s Forge”: Star Trek Novel Vangie13 cbr #44
by Josepha Sherman & Susan Schwartz “Romulans do many things no sane Vulcan would do.” Star Trek meets Lawrence of Arabia in a long, derivative, repetitive, imitative novel. A year after Captain Kirk is lost to the Nexus, Captain Spock and the crew of Intrepid II are called to Obsidian to help Spock’s childhood friend Captain David Rabin with a diplomatic mission. The story takes place in the past on Vulcan and in the ‘present’ on Obsidian. Years ago, during the ceremony celebrating the Kahs-wan […]
