Recent Reading: Michael Flynn and Charles Stross
  • The January Dancer (sp?), by Michael Flynn.

    I liked this, although I'd early put down another Flynn novel that I didn't like well enough to finish.

  • Iron Sunrise, by Charles Stross.

    I liked this one too. I'm going back and reading some of Stross's work that I missed when it first came out.

Recent Reading: John Maddox Roberts and Ben Pastor
  • SPQR XII — Oracle of the Dead, by John Maddox Roberts.

    I've enjoyed this series, and this entry was good.

  • The Water Thief, by Ben Pastor.

    I enjoyed this, though it was sometimes annoying.

  • The Shadow of Reichenbach Falls, by John R. King, copyright 2008; Forge/Tom Doherty Associates, LLC.; ISBN-13: 978-0-7653-1801-5.

    It was interesting to see Sherlock Holmes and Thomas Carnacki mixed, even if it was uneasily mixed.

    This is the seventeenth volume in the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter. Again, I'm more interested in the paranormal metaphysics and the monster killing than the sex.
