The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief
Gregg Braden
Hay House, 2008
Quantum made easy
I cannot believe I haven't heard about this book before, and cannot put it down. Easy reading, not too technical, very good examples of various experiments, and drawing from 'ancient' knowledge as well as finding very pertinent references to the "Field" from people ...

Order 66 (Star Wars: Republic Commando)
Karen Traviss
Del Rey, 2008
The Star Wars universe for the over-30 set
I have enjoyed this book and the whole series tremendously. It is far more mature than any of the recent Star Wars fare, less sci-fi and more character driven. This is a great series for those who are more concerned with good writing than with absolute video game and ...

The Force Unleashed (Star Wars)
Sean Williams
Del Rey, 2008
great game
I liked the story a great deal. The book like the game is a bit short, I completed reading it in around three days of causal reading. It held my attention for sure. The pace of the book is very fast, I liked the fact that Williams didn't let it distort story or maybe ...

John O'Donohue
Doubleday, 2008
Love this Book
I absolutely LOVE this book! My husband & I are planning for a family, when I got this book in the mail I opened randomly to a page somewhere in the middle and magically turned right to the blessing for "The Mother-To-Be"! So amazing! My yoga instructor reads us ...

Raven Rise (Pendragon)
D. J. MacHale
Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2008
Pendragon's Last Stand
After Pilgrims of Raine I was very excited when I heard that another book was coming out. Raven Rise really delivered. The characters were dramatic yet comical. I normally don't like first-person point of view stories, but this is the exception.
The story starts ...

Icarus at the Edge of Time
Brian Greene
Knopf, 2008
Big Ideas in a Little Book
I bought this book for a young man of 12 who is not a great reader, but is a genius when it comes to math and science. The big ideas in this book and the main character in this book, a young man himself, appeal to my young friend. He greatly enjoyed this book. He does ...

The Last Colony
John Scalzi
Tor Science Fiction, 2008
The Last Colony
The Last Colony
This book is the latest in John Scalzi's series of super humans, and while many have considered him the next Heinlein, that bit gets bandied around way too much. He is not the next Heinlein but he is an phenomenal writer. The Old Man's war series ...

Superior Saturday (The Keys To The Kingdom)
Garth Nix
Scholastic Press, 2008
Just as expected
Exactly what is expected of an audiobook. Just as well-read as the previous books in the series. I can't wait until Lord Sunday (the last book in the series).

Old Man's War
John Scalzi
Tor Science Fiction, 2007
Right up there with the best SF
This is an enormously satisfying read and I say this as a SCIFI fan of over 45 years. I just love the concept of brain pals. You won't regret reading this one.

The Ghost Brigades
John Scalzi
Tor Science Fiction, 2007
I hope there is more for years to come!
A well written story that is not only entertaining to read but also makes you think (or in my case) dream of what else is happening in the universe Scalzi has created.
