Speculative Fiction Reviews

“Dreamsnake” by Vonda N McIntyre – A Science Fiction classic – still as fresh and powerful as when I read it in 1980

“Crossover” Cassadra Kresnov #1 by Joel Shepherd – Cyberpunkish thriller with strong female characters

“The Last Policeman” by Ben H Winters – end of the world novel powered by a quiet desperation I can’t get out of my head

“Lexicon” by Max Barry – innovative, clever, exciting, violent, science fiction

“Web of Lies” by Jennifer Estep – good story maimed by lazy editing and poor production standards

“Just One Dammned Thing After Another” by Judi Taylor: good British chaps win the day by muddling through and doing the right thing

“The Gospel of Loki” by Joanne M. Harris: not what I expected but well worth the read.

“The Wretched of Muirwood” by Jeff Wheeler – Well written Young Adult Sword and Sourcery novel that I couldn’t stay in sympathy with.

“The Windup Girl” by Paolo Bacigalupi: A good book made even better by great narration
