I am an avid reader of fiction. Nonfiction puts me to sleep mostly.

Science fiction and fantasy are my jam, but I am willing to give any genre a shot.

Cold People (2023, Scribner) 5 stars

Cold People

5 stars

I feel like the ending of this book was a bit rushed, and am really hoping for a sequel, but I could not put this book down.

I started and finished it today and will probably add it to my list of books I reread every few years.

Not that it’s required, but there are so many different avenues a sequel could take.

Night Shift (Paperback, 2011, Anchor Books) No rating

Presents a collection of twenty stories of horror and nightmarish fantasy that transform everyday situations …

Alright....

A few of the stories in here I liked more than the others, but every story in this book was fantastic. I'm ready to dig into a novel length story from Stephen King in the near future.

The Martian (Paperback, 2015, Del Rey) 5 stars

I’m stranded on Mars.

I have no way to communicate with Earth.

I have no idea why I didn’t read this book earlier. It is a fantastic story that kept me reading until I was done (a day and a half!).

I’ve always wanted to take a trip into space, but certainly not if it ends up like Mark’s.

Delta-V (Paperback, 2019, Rowohlt Taschenbuch) 5 stars

James Tighe, kurz JT, ist ein Glücksritter und der beste Höhlentaucher der Welt. Eines Tages …

Slow to get going, but worth the wait

It didn't grab me right away, but at about the 40% mark of this book, I was unable to put it down. I'm unqualified of course, but it sounds like the author did his homework with the science of this story, which I always appreciate.

I am new to Daniel Suarez but, after two books, I am enjoying what I've read.

Watching The Clock (2011, Pocket Books) 5 stars

Watching the Clock

I have been struggling to find a book that could hold my attention over the last few months, but I have finished this one in a matter of days.

I will admit that I was not able to keep up with all of the time shenanigans as well as the author probably intended, but I don't think it was too big a detriment to the book.

Please keep in mind that I am an avid #StarTrek fan, so this is a biased review.
