Undersea

Cover for Undersea

Review:

Very in­ter­est­ing, well writ­ten book. It presents a sce­nario and fol­lows things to log­i­cal con­clu­sion­s, sets rules and keeps them. In­ter­est­ing char­ac­ter de­vel­op­men­t, too.

The not so great? Well, it suf­fers a bit from the "this per­son is in­volved in *ev­ery­thing* that hap­pen­s" syn­drome, but that's par for the course in sci­fi, and I have learned to live with it.

And this is to­tal­ly pet­ty of me, but when­ev­er Mrakas Gat­ley was men­tioned, I kept read­ing he's called "Mara­cas" and gig­gling, which kin­da spoils the page.

Journey to Hart's Halo

Cover for Journey to Hart's Halo

Review:

Got this as part of the Sto­ry Bun­dle.

It starts in­trigu­ing­ly, and stays that way for about two thirds of the book. Then it all goes to hell in a hand­bas­ket and the end makes no sense what­so­ev­er. Feels like the au­thor felt not enough was hap­pen­ing, or de­cid­ed to do "a twist" or... I don't know, but the whole end of the book af­ter the "reap­pear­ance" (if you read it you know what I mean) ru­ined it for me.

I liked the be­gin­ning though, so I will try to read some­thing else by the au­thor.

Al­so: the face in the book cov­er is dis­con­cert­ing­ly sim­i­lar to Shel­don Coop­er from The Big Bang the­o­ry.
