Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, by Seth Grahame-Smith
September 19, 2012
A very clever melding of the vampire myth with the life of Abraham Lincoln. The approach reminds me very much of The Da Vinci Code–there’s just enough connection with real
Hacking Work: Breaking Stupid Rules for Smart Results, by Bill Jensen and Josh Klein
September 12, 2012
Got this for one penny at Amazon. Of course, shipping was $3.99, but it’s still a great deal. The book doesn’t have a boiler plate of tools to use for
Old Man’s War, by John Scalzi
September 5, 2012
Excellent syfy–the first 50 pages of the book are very boring, and the so called repartee is on a teen age level. But, once the book gets going, it really

American Samuri, by Steve Hendry
June 5, 2012
Great action. If you like Vince Flynn (and Mitch Rapp), you’ll like this book. It starts off with a 13 year old boy fighting several British commandos in the boy’s
Hidden Shadows, by Maryann Paige
May 30, 2012
Surprisingly good, considering I had never heard of the author. But, I’m a sucker for horror, and this was right up my alley. It has all the right elements–fear, monsters,
The Rule of Nine–book review
April 10, 2012
