A few weeks ago Handy and I were talking about ebooks and ebook readers, when he happened to mention a book he had hanging around, with the strange/silly name of Geek Mafia. Being as I am a geek (not that you’d notice by reading this site :) and that my favorite book of all times [...]

Naomi Novik’s Temeraire series
≡ Category: Books, Reviews | ≅ 2 Comments
After a long hiatus from fantasy (probably a year or even more), I’ve been reading a lot lately, or at least a lot more than I had been :) And I think I’ll blame it on John Lambshead’s Lucy’s Blade, and Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files, both of which re-awoke my like for fantasy, at least [...]

I have read a few things in which S.M. Stirling has collaborated over time, like the Raj Whitehall series with David Drake, Jimmy The Hand (part of Raymond E. Feist’s Legends of the Riftwar series) and some others, but I had never read any of his non-collaboration works, until now.
The Island in the Sea of [...]

I know it’s been a while since the last book review, but…I got hooked on re-reading the Honor Harrington’s Series and then some other stuff and didn’t get to anything new until yesterday…and this book hooked me so tightly that I finished it in less than a day and started writing this review as soon [...]

Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files Series.

Harry Dresden, Professional Wizard, that’s what the ad in the yellow pages says, announcing the only professional wizard in Chicago.
The Dresden Files is one of the most fun urban fantasy series I’ve read in a long long time. In a world where magic, vampires, werewolfs and faeries exist right among modern civilization, Harry Dresden [...]

Well, since I just noticed that my previous post on this series (Eric Flint’s 1632 Universe, aka, Assiti Shards Series) was about three of the books and the first 8 Grantville Gazettes, I’ll make this one about the next three books and the latest two Gazettes :)
In the previous installment of our saga, the city [...]

Raymond E. Feist’s Legends of the Riftwar series

…the most powerful magician of the Universe…
Raymond E. Feist has one of the longest series of books written in a single universe that I’ve read. At this point in time, there’s 23 published books in his Riftwar/Magician universe, with 8 more in the works, with probably more after those…I’m pretty sure he’ll keep writing [...]

Ok, I know it’s been a while since the last book review, but I’ve been busy :P
On the other hand, I managed to get my grubby little hands on the ARC of A Deeper Blue, fifth book in the Paladin of Shadows series by John Ringo, and…it rocks :)
So far, the series is made up [...]

I know, I know! it’s been a while since last I posted, specially since my last book review. I’ve been sick, and then I got better about 3 or 4 days ago…and had to try to catch up with the world to see if there was something worth posting about…and ended up deciding that there [...]
