The Host: A Novel
Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
The Host
Dear Stephenie Meyer,
When I was first considering reading The Host I was reluctant. I was a pessimist thinking about how it wasn't emotionally possible to be as good as your Twilight series. That the writing that made me love the impossible romance where vampires ...

Event: A Novel (Event Group Thrillers)
David Golemon
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2007
Pick up Event and walk into another world
While browsing for a few books to read during my beach trip, I came upon this green paperback book, only one left- always a good sign I thought. I always enjoy science fiction but had never read any by this author. A few pages read sold me on the story, and I was not ...

The War of the Worlds (Modern Library Classics)
H. G. Wells
Modern Library, 2002
A must read even if you hate "Sci-Fi"
I have been planning on reading this book for over 10 years. I remember watching the movie when I was little (and then the remake a few years ago). First of all, this was far better than either of the movies.
Written in first person from the account of a survivor ...

Tale of the Thunderbolt (The Vampire Earth, Book 3)
E.E. Knight
Roc, 2005
Tale of the Thunderbolt is my favorite so far!!!!!!!!
I enjoyed Way of the Wolf and Choice of the Cat, but Tale of the Thunderbolt is my favorite so far. Maybe this is because I am not a sci-fi buff. Maybe it's because I dig dark and urban fantasy(where we like a fast moving story-line and sympathetic characters)or maybe ...

Xlibris Corporation, 2006
TEOTWAWKI
Much has been written about this book, both pro and con, over the years. What it is, is an excellent survival handbook, written in a very readable, fictional format. What it isn't, is a literary classic. I have heard people comment about it's lack of sophistication ...

The White Mountains
John Christopher
Simon Pulse, 2003
Greatest Juvenile Science Fiction novels I ever read
I do not think there are three juvenile novels that I enjoy nearly as much as these three. The White Mountains, The City of Gold and Lead and The Pool of Fire are absolutely perfect examples of Juvenile fiction. The books teach moral lessons as well as tell a rip ...

Choice of the Cat (The Vampire Earth, Book 2)
E.E. Knight
Roc, 2004
Smooth and completely unpredictable
Choice of the Cat impressed me with it's depth of plot and setting. David Valentine reminds me of a cross between Tom Sackett in Lous L'Amour's books and Neo in the Matrix. He's handsome, tough and often hard, but also sensitive and intelligent. I especially enjoyed ...

The Spy Who Tried to Stop a War: Katharine Gun and the Secret Plot to Sanction the Iraq Invasion
Marcia Mitchell, Thomas Mitchell
Polipoint Press, 2008
British secret service officer Katharine Gun's only crime was telling the truth, but she paid a steep price when she exposed a U.S.-U.K. spy operation to secure UN authorization for the Iraq invasion. Thoroughly researched and engagingly written, this book tells the story of the young woman Sean Penn describes as "a hero of the human spirit."
