Counterpoint: Dylan’s Story by Ruth Sims My rating: 5 of 5 stars 1st draft: Counterpoint: Dylan’s Story is a beautiful novel which I enjoyed in every manner, from cover to cover. Superficially, a highly individualist teen lusts for his history teacher in a boys school in England, they eventually meet in Paris and become [...] Reefs of Space by Frederik Pohl My rating: 4 of 5 stars An interesting collaboration between 2 greats of Classic Science Fiction, The Reefs of Space combines hard science fiction, according to Hoyle, with fantasy-like world building in the depths of space. The theories of Fred Hoyle, father of nucleosynthesis in stars and [...] The Wraiths of Will and Pleasure by Storm Constantine My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Wraiths of Will and Pleasure fleshes out much detail of the original Wraeththu trilogy. I tells the story of Flick after he left Salrock to find what happened to Pell’s family and tells the stories of Pell’s siblings. [...] Fools’ Experiments by Edward M. Lerner My rating: 3 of 5 stars A cyberpunk horror story about how stupid humans can be when it come’s to acquiring power. It gets 6.5 of 10 on my scale, a fun read, but purely escapist.

Following [...] The Nitrogen Fix by Hal Clement My rating: 3 of 5 stars Classic Clement, as usual. This science was fascinating. I had never considered that there is enough nitrogen around to completely fix all of the oxygen in the atmosphere given the right catalysts. Is it inevitable, especially now that we are mucking with [...] Geography Club by Brent Hartinger My rating: 3 of 5 stars The best thing about this book for me was the charm and wit of the protagonist, Russell. But, being decades away from the coming out process, there was really nothing new for me. This would be a good book for adolescents struggling with [...] Ark by Stephen Baxter My rating: 5 of 5 stars Ark is a continuation of Baxter’s apocalyptic Flood and tells the story of Ark 1 being built somewhere near Denver Colorado in the barely surviving USA, its launch and the struggles of its passengers as Ark 1 tries to save a small remnant of [...] Ethan of Athos by Lois McMaster Bujold My rating: 4 of 5 stars A Gay positive exploration of a man who left his all male planet on a quest to acquire ovarian tissue for use in reproduction on his planet Athos.
