Hammered by Elizabeth Bear
Hammered

pandora, April 13, 2008

A sci fi book set in the Canadian future with ex-military, 50-something Jenny Casey saving the day. Action, intrigue and the promise of space travel, this is the first book in the best trilogy I've read in a decade.
Meet your future: Elizabeth Bear is an exciting new voice in fiction and Jenny Casey rocks!

Soon I Will Be Invincible by Austin Grossman
Soon I Will Be Invincible

pandora, February 4, 2008

Fantastic comic novel about the quodian lives of superheros and supervillans. In the gleeful but knowing tone of "the Incredibles", "Soon I will be invincible" takes you inside the internal lives of the superpowered demonstrating that everyone has insecurities and problems (even if some of us are trying to hide the heat signature of our first nuclear reactor...) I didn't read comic books as a kid but this makes me think I may have been missing out

Terrier: Beka Cooper #1 (Beka Cooper #01) by Tamora Pierce
Terrier: Beka Cooper #1 (Beka Cooper #01)

pandora, February 15, 2007

the latest Tamora Pierce novel for young adults with a very important twist: Becca's beat is far from the luxurious world of nobility - she's learning to be a cop. It's delightful to find that pierce's storytelling magic works as well from the persepctive of the Lower City (as we learned with George!) This compelling read has all the elements of a good mystery and is a terrific addition to the world of Tortall
