Review of All Good Things (Star Trek) - Michael Jan Friedman

What happened on flight 545?

Advantages: Gripping
Disadvantages: Slightly technical at times

It’s strange, had I not been recommended Airframe, I never would have read it, yet I found it unputdownable. The story centres around TransPacific flight 545 en route to Denver from Hong Kong. A routine flight with an experienced pilot, yet the plane ends up making an emergency landing at LAX with a call for around 40 ambulances. Turbulence is cited as the initial reason, yet the damage of the plane tells a different story. What actually did ...
...keep happening. It becomes obvious that something is badly wrong yet no real clues as to what happened are given. There are also some incidents that seem very sinister, some turn out to be normal, others have potentially fatal consequences. As there are a lot of characters in the book, it can be hard following who does what, but Casey Singleton is the main character ho holds the story together and I found that throughout the book, there are a lot ...

Review of AirFrame - Michael Crichton

Closer to Heaven

Advantages: Great character building
Disadvantages: A little slow paced for my taste

Fantasy and science fiction are genres that mesh well together. Some authors have written successfully across both genres, but not usually in the same story. Jaine Fenn has managed to combine both in one book and it's an interesting read. One night, a stranger is found lying unconscious in a bog just outside the village of Dangwern. He appears to have come from nowhere and, apart from a strange piece of cloth lying near his naked body, there is nothing ...
...Unfortunately, this includes the stranger himself, as he is suffering from amnesia and has no idea even where he is, much less how he came to be there. Fortunately for Sais, as he is nicknamed, the boy who finds him is "sky touched". This means he is soon to travel to the City of Lights to be tested to see if he is worthy of being a consort of the goddesses. The village elders permit Sais and the boy's mother Kerin to accompany him to see if anyone ...

Review of Consorts of Heaven - Jaine Fenn

It is not just about football!

Advantages: It's very funny, and oh so true!
Disadvantages: None

The Disc, for those who don't know, continues to float in space, supported by the elephants who ride the back of the great swimming turtle A'tuin. The Hub about which the planet spins is a centre of great magic, and best avoided if you want to live a happy and contented life. At the outer perimeter is the great circle sea which unendingly streams over the rim into the void, which is best avoided if you want to continue to live at all. Most Discians ...
...Smeems, for instance, is the Candle Nave at the Unseen University. He has to worry about keeping the candles not just alight, but properly melted, artistically, gothicly, dribbled, as it were. Of course, there's Trevor to help. And there's Nutt. With two t's. Trevor Likely has a tendency to skive off work whenever possible, and to kick a tin can around. His dad was a legend. Nutt is… well, no-one's quite sure what Nutt is, even him. Goblin isn't ...
