This is one of those books that I picked up again and again, and ended up buying all of the copies in paperback. Then boxed them up. Somewhere. Now that there is a new book out in the series, I wanted to read them again. And they’re on ebook so it’s much easier to buy […]

SWORD-DANCER by Jennifer Roberson
April 20, 2013DEAD THINGS by Stephen Blackmoore
February 24, 2013Dead Things by Stephen Blackmoore was recommended to me by an editor friend who not only reads my books, but also reads a lot of the same stuff I do. So I have her to thank for this one. After I saw the cover and read the description, I ordered the book immediately. I’d been […]
BLACK SUN REICH: THE SPEAR OF DESTINY: PART ONE OF THREE by Trey Garrison
January 9, 2013Black Sun Reich: The Spear of Destiny: Part One of Three by Trey Garrison is a thrilling return to the halcyon days of pulps and Saturday matinee serials. You know the ones – where you’d show up for a Saturday, watch your heroes go through a whirlwind of adventures fighting the bad guys, then end […]
THE SORCERER OF THE NORTH by John Flanagan
December 31, 2012My wife and fifteen year old love John Flanagan’s The Ranger’s Apprentice series. We’ve been listening to the audiobooks for a few years now, always when we’re on long trips so we can get a whole book in. This Thanksgiving we got away for a few days, and we listened to The Sorcerer of the […]
THE SWORD-EDGED BLONDE by Alex Bledsoe
September 3, 2012I have to admit, it took me a second try to get into The Sword-Edged Blonde. I blame me, though. I must have been looking for something different when I first picked it up. Or maybe I was looking for a more sedate or a more pure read. Alex Bledsoe’s first Eddie LaCrosse novel is […]
ALLANON’S QUEST by Terry Brooks
August 27, 2012I couldn’t resist the allure of a 99-cent Terry Brooks story for my iPad. Bought it and read it almost in one move. Overall, I think it was money well-spent. For 99 cents, I was transported to another world and took up a quest with Allanon, Brook’s fabled druid. That environment came alive around me […]
CONAN THE BARBARIAN #1 by Brian Wood, Becky Cloonan, and Dave Stewart
February 11, 2012The romance between Conan the Cimmerian and Belit, Queen of the Black Coast was a big part of Roy Thomas’s run on the barbarian hero at Marvel Comics. I remember reading those issues and looking forward to each one with anticipation. Conan had hung out with Red Sonja for a time, but there had never […]
BEHEMOTH by Scott Westerfeld
January 15, 2012Scott Westerfeld created a fascinating world out of the ashes of what was World War I (The Great War) in the real world. He peopled his Leviathan trilogy with real heroes and heroines young readers (and the young at heart) could get behind and root for, and he seasoned it with the wonderful spice of […]
THE SKIN MAP by Stephen R. Lawhead
January 10, 2012Stephen R. Lawhead embarks on a new and entertaining old school fantasy trilogy with some interesting new twists that include string theory and multiple earths. I enjoy the quest aspects of The Skin Map, his first book in his Bright Empires trilogy, the large casts of characters all set out to chart their own courses, […]
EYES TO SEE by Joseph Nassise
December 3, 2011Eyes To See is the first book in an intriguing new series by Joseph Nassise (author of the Templar Chronicles) and is a great little mix of paranormal and noir fiction. In order to find his missing daughter, scholar Jeremiah Hunt gave up his eyes in exchange for a new vision that allows him to […]
