![]() | Variable Star by Robert A. Heinlein
Buy new: $18.96 / Used from: $0.98 Kind of a old fashioned Heinlein novel. Kind of hoaky and stereotypical characters...just like Heinlein did.
|
![]() | White Night (The Dresden Files, Book 9) by Jim Butcher
Buy used from: $1.40 We all like Dresden so decided to read the latest. Vampire war and the obligatory big shoot out scene at the end. Dresden is kind of the bore he always seemed to revile in the first books.

|
![]() | Mindscan by Robert J. Sawyer

What do you do when,because you are dieing, you have had you conciousness transfered to an android body...it will never die,and then discover you are no longer terminally ill.The real interest in this book is from the way humans react to this new life form.
|
![]() | Iterations by Robert J. Sawyer

Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 You know i don't remember a darn thing about this book but i know we read it. so that means it was neither super bad or super good. published in 2000 so it has been a while since we read it.
|
![]() | Eon by Greg Bear
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 Eon is a giant space ship that comes to earth,i think,and threatens to destroy it. Very interesting premise. this is one of several books in this series. we only read this one but it made sense as a stand alone book. I mean this is some huge almost planet sized ship.
|
![]() | City by Clifford D. Simak
Buy used from: $36.00 a group of short stories written in 1947. it is dated but dogs rule the earth. meen have left and only a man type robots remain to care for the dogs. Historic sci fi but not as good a phillip K dick and some others.
|
![]() | Light by M. John Harrison
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.04 Hard sic fi but kind of a punky future. lots of meaningless sex but the story is about a quantum drive space ship. three story lines going. the ending reminded me of the last star trek tng episode "all good things". Kind of a Q type ending.
|
![]() | Darwin's Radio by Greg Bear
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 interesting story about genetic messages encoded in our dna. somehow they begin expressing themselves and a super race starts coming of age. interesting concept of how little difference there is between may species of beings.
|
![]() | Warp Speed by Travis Taylor
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.00 we heard travis talk about science in science fiction and since that time i find it hard to separate him from his fiction. seems every hero in his books is,well...kind of just like him. He is not only an insightful genius in physics but a super athelete,karate expert, chick magnet, and has time on the side to save the world and invent warp drive. Just a little unbelieveble to me.
|

Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.50 will write later
|
![]() | Lacey and His Friends by David Drake
Buy used from: $0.01 an old sci fi dectective book. the world is 1984 in the worst way. Kind of dated but drake is and excellent writer so enjoyable. Drake stopped writing Lacey stories because too depressing.
|
![]() | Thinner (Signet) by Stephen King
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 old king. story of gypsy curse on a obese man that makes him waste away. Kind of lost interest and the ending is cliche as heck. the hero gets even but loses everything in the end.
