edit data

Chris Keating writes novels with a twist. A Navy veteran and a professor of physics, he now spends his time in the Texas Hill Country where he writes and does volunteer work in the Texas Master Naturalist program. In addition to his novels, he also writes science-based books. He conducted the $10,000 Global Warming Skeptic Challenge (which closed in 2015) where he promised to pay $10,000 to any skeptic of manmade global warming who could prove their skepticism was scientifically valid (no one could). He is actively involved in research on climate change and in debunking the anti-science lobbyists.

The Last Theorem

The Last Theorem by Arthur C. Clarke

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This was supposed to be a pleasant, typically Arthur Clark-style sci-fi but it really failed in that respect. It was a tedious read. Basically, it was not a bad book, just not as good as I expected based on my experiences with Clark's other works. It definitely fell below that standard.

To begin with, understand that this book has very little resemblance to the movie of the same name and inspired by the book. Unlike the movie, this wasn't a romance-comedy. It was fun to read, but it was hot and cold with large sections that made me ...more

The Castle of Otranto is credited with being the first Gothic novel. That puts Horace Walpole in a small group of authors who invented entire genres. It is an interesting read on that basis. However, I'm rating this book on two levels. The overall st ...more
