Creativity

I think it's important to be creative.

I like science fiction because it examines new frontiers.

So when I write science fiction, I want to capture the same sense of wonder I felt when watching Stargate. Spoiler alert!

Spoiler alert! Jaffa kree!

Wait, if you haven't watched Stargate yet, go and watch Stargate SG-1!

I remember seeing how the Asgardians were seen as Asgardian gods, and it was interesting Read more of this blog post »

Better than Pacific Rim

This is my favorite mech series of all time. I like the Pacific Rim movies, but the movie novelization was bad. This was written a lot better than the Pacific Rim novelization.

Never a Boring Moment

This author writes battles very well. Although this is the third book in this series, the story and characters don’t feel repetitive.

If you like books about giant robots piloted by humans fighting each other, this book is for you. The characters and fight scenes are written well. There isn’t much exposition, which allows the reader to focus on the story.

This book is amazing. I wasn’t sure I was going to like the journey to the city mentioned in this book but I did. I can’t wait to read book 5! In the meantime, I’m waiting for book 9 in the main series.

This book was average.

I bought this book in 2016. It looks like it was unpublished and republished.

The book had an intriguing premise and blurb, but sadly, the pacing was too fast. Each chapter was 2-3 pages long, and the extremely short chapters to

Supercarrier by Scott Bartlett
"There's something about this story that just doesn't sit right with me. I'm not sure the author knows that much about the military or if he/she does, then it's not showing in this book. It starts off with a young guy being assigned to the Providence," Read more of this review »
