GiN Classic Book Review: Good Omens
Special guest reviewer Bill Jackson is back with another classic book review this week of a title that you really should check out if you haven’t already done so. It’s Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
Brilliant Battling with Renegade’s Tale
One of the best military fiction type space opera books our reviewer has ever had the pleasure of enjoying, Renegade by Joel Shepard focuses on the crewmembers doing the actual fighting in a massive war.
Super Spying with the Nomad Novel
Author James Swallow is the writer of The Latter Fire, one of the best Star Trek novels that we have ever reviewed. Now he turns his attention to spy thrillers with Nomad. Packed with the same thrills one might expect from a blockbuster movie, Nomad is predictable but fun.
The Five Trials Book Offers Deep Darkness
While The Five Trials might appeal to some readers, the gratuitous use of sexual assault and torture as plot devices will probably keep this one far away from most mainstream readers. It’s even harder to take as an audiobook.
Soaring High with Skyward Novel
The plot of Skyward is intense, amazing and almost everything a Brandon Sanderson fan could want out of a book from him. In fact, though Skyward is a standalone tale, it would be a great candidate for a sequel or series.
An Electrifying Tale in Ball Lightning
l Lightning by Lou Cixin has finally been translated into English. Like his famous book, The Three Body Problem, Ball Lightning explores the essence and aesthetics of real science through a wonderful science-fiction lens.
The Librarians Strike Gold Again in New Tale
The television series might have been cancelled, but fans can still live the wacky paranormal adventures of The Librarians through the book series. The Librarians and the Pot of Gold is yet another hit in that lineup.
More Short Stories From The Demon Accords Saga
Following up on our review of Volume One, The Demon Accords Compendium, Volume 2 offers a few more short stories from author John Conroe. While amusing, this book is pretty tiny, and what fans really want is a new, full novel in the Demon Accords series.
An Alluring Alternate History with The Fated Sky
Picking up the tale of Elma, the Lady Astronaut from the Calculating Starts novel, The Fated Sky focuses on humanity’s efforts to jump from the moon to Mars. Author Mary Robinette Kowal again masterfully focuses on the problems in her fantasy worlds, while also unmasking faults in our own.
Horror Done Right With Predators Novel
Even our GiN Book reviewer with a distaste of all things in the horror genre came to love the new thriller Predators by veteran sci-fi and horror author Michaelbrent Collings. Pick this one up if you want terror done right.
