“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
Speculative Fiction Reviews
“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
“Dorsai!” by Gordon R Dickson: thirty five years ago I loved this. Now it seems very thin
“Unwind” by Neal Shusterman – Page turning plot, strong characters, fresh ideas
