Andy Weir is this generation's Isaac Asimov! He not only writes great fiction, but he truly GETS the science! Project Hail Mary is an exciting novel about mankind's attempt to achieve interstellar flight with the goal of finding a way of stopping the alien microbes from eating our Sun's energy.
With scientific explanations, humorous dialog, and a well-planned plot, this is an enjoyable read for any fan of classic science fiction. You might even learn some science while you're at it.
As a lover of urban fantasy, how did I not know about Scott Rhine before now? He will certainly be moving to the top of my ‘to read' pile! I hope he continues to flesh out the universe this is set in.
Modern, yet liberally laced with classic pantheons, with characters that feel real, not idealized superhumans, this book hits all the right notes for a enjoyable urban fantasy.
Yet again. Ben Metrich manages to turn a simple historical story into a riveting adventure, all the more incredible for it's being true. He has a knack for knowing when and how to add backstory to help us better understand the participants' motivations. A fitting sequel to Accidental Billionaires!,
Note: I received an advanced reader's copy in exchange for a fair am unbiased review.
A fine end to a great series! All of your favorites are back as Charley and her friends and family try to save the world one last time. More of the same action and witty banter, with a few surprise reveals to wrap everything up neatly.
Note: I received an eARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I always enjoy Charlie's books. I went into this one thinking it was part of the Paper magician series (similar covers, I guess) and kept waiting for the magic rubrics to match.
Be advised! This is not set in the world of the Paper Magician.
That said, it was a very well written story that blended Magic with an early American frontier setting (think Little House on the Prarie with magic)
A worthy successor to the Thomas Pitt novels. Daniel has his father's enthusiasm, but a distinctly different temperament. His youth gives the story more of the feel of the early years of Thomas Pitt. Ann Perry has begun setting up a new set of allies for him to work with. I hope this series continues.
Yet another excellent book in the Jack Reacher series. This book portrays the more cerebral Reacher, with fewer of the physical violence scenes. I like the fact that Child is going back to Reacher's earlier days, to show what he was like when he still had the Army's resources behind him. I'd love to see a story someday about why he left the military. All in all, a great read. I'm so happy to have won a Goodreads giveaway!
