books by Spectra     books:       Long Run, The23 reviews Daniel Keys Moran Spectra, 1989 Great Book I wish I could write well enough to give this book the kudos it deserves. I cannot, so I will not try. All you need to know is that as of this review, this books rates 5 stars on 19 reviews. That should be more than enough to convince you that you need to read 'The Long Run' & 'Emerald Eyes'.             Prey (Aliens Vs. Predator, Book 1)87 reviews Randy Stradley, Chris Warner Spectra, 1994 Before there was the AvP movie... Before the AvP movie, there was the Alien/Predator crossover found in comics by Dark Horse and then brought to paperback form by Steve Perry. All the books in this series takes place in the future while humans are settling on new planets. Here we have Machiko Noguchi conducting her business on a hot wasteland world for the Coporation. Predators, the species called yuatja, have begun seeding the ...             Dragonsinger (Harper Hall Trilogy)80 reviews Anne McCaffrey Spectra, 1997 Girl Musician Makes Good Menolly has achieved her dream of living in Harper Hall, despite the disadvantage of being born female. But she does not know how she will fit in and the fact that she accidentally Impressed nine fire lizards causes disruptions in class and jealousies from the other students. That she comes to realize her full talent as a musician, singer and songwriter and revel in the company of other ...             On My Way to Paradise22 reviews Dave Wolverton Spectra, 1989 There Should be A Ten Star Rating For This Book. Hello: This book is everything the "positive reviews" above say, and more. From the first page, until the last paragraph, to the last three words of that last page, this book will awe, inspire, and haunt you in ways few other books ever will. It is a work of science fiction genuis that has been totally over looked and neglected for far too long. And that is a shame. This book should have won ...             LAST DANCER, THE (Bantam Spectra Book)24 reviews Daniel Keys Moran Spectra, 1993 Three books so far but where is number four? The third book in the "Continuing Time" Saga was great. The only problem I have is that it was written and published nine years ago and the much awaited and promised sequel dealing with "Trent the Uncatchable" has never materialized. I believe it will be the "AI War" which is listed in the latest reprint of "Emerald Eyes" but thus far there no listed publication date. This book however, was ...             The Last Legends of Earth32 reviews A.A. Attanasio Spectra, 1990 Best of the Radix Tetralogy In my opinion, this is (along with the first book in the Tetralogy, Radix) one of the finest sci-fi/fantasy novels written in the past 30 years. It's a rollicking good time, with good vs evil, heroes and villains, interesting scientific concepts, a romance that even manly men could appreciate, and a tempo that speeds up and slows down at just the right times. Heavily influenced by Lovecraft, ...             End of Eternity, The54 reviews Isaac Asimov Spectra, 1990 This Book is Why I'm a Time Travel Fan Time travel is a great, speculative sub-genre of scifi. Although mildly dated this is book highly worthwhile. Asimov's storytelling and imagination are legendary due to works like this.             Biting the Sun36 reviews Tanith Lee Spectra, 1999 Orginal and fantastic This is an amazing and original fantasy novel. It takes place in either the future, or on another planet. Death has been illiminated along with sickness and old age. You change bodies, change gender, change anything, the whole world (which appears to consist of three domed cites in a large uninhabitable desert wasteland) is controlled by human like androids. You go to school until roughly ...             The Orphan's Tales: In the Night Garden24 reviews Spectra, 2006 Please excuse my spoiler I haven't read any fantasy quite like Catherynne M. Valente's The Orphan's Tales duology. This is the story of a young orphan girl who is shunned because of the dark smudges that appeared on her eyelids when she was a baby. She lives alone in a sultan's garden because people think she's a demon and nobody will claim her. However, one of the young sons of the sultan, a curious fellow, finds her in ...             Emergence42 reviews David R. Palmer Spectra, 1984 Rip Van Palmer resurfaces... Hi, people. I hope the webmaster's rules permit this. First, thanks for your enduring loyalty. It's been 25 years since my last book. Some of you will be pleased to learn that "Tracking," the sequel to "Emergence," is being serialized in three parts by Analog SF magazine, commencing with the July/August double issue, due out toward the end of this month. Inchoate talk are also underway ...             King's Test10 reviews Margaret Weis Spectra, 1995 Keeps the Series Intense In this novel, the struggle for power continues between Maigrey, Derek Sagan, and Dion Starfire. However, a new, deadly opponent comes to the surface. The new opponent is going to try to tear apart the Guardians and Dion. However, Maigrey and Sagan have a few tricks up their sleeves! This novel continues right where the first one ended. It is fast paced and highly enjoyable.             Three Novels: The Deep, Engine Summer, and Beasts10 reviews John Crowley Spectra, 1994 The Best Novel Ever Written, Plus Two How many books in the Amazon database have been called the best novel ever written (or the best novel in its genre) by *half* of all the reviewers? ENGINE SUMMER was actually the first novel John Crowley ever completed; the ms. then sat in a draw for years while he honed his craft with THE DEEP and BEASTS. The original draft was then rewritten. You thus have a unique combination of an ...             ACES HIGH (Wild Cards, No 2)10 reviews George R.R. Martin Spectra, 1987 A Great Installment A great installment in the Wild Cards universe. An alien swarm is headed on a collision course with earth and the Aces must unite to fight the impending doom of the world. However, "the Astronomer" - a super-villain- is trying to stop the heroes, and employs any devious methods to reach his ends... There are new characters presented such as Demise - who can look in your eyes forcing you to ...             F2f (R)20 reviews Phillip Finch Spectra, 1997 You will not be able to put it down. Better than tape! Once you log on the Net...anyone can find you! April 19, 2001 My father handed me this book becasue I was a "computer guy" and he thought I might enjoy it. (He would have given it 3 stars at most); but being as I am in computers...and you can do everything that is done in this book....I enjoyed it. Anyone who uses a computer, a chat room and a bulletin board will really ...             Summer of Love15 reviews Lisa Mason Spectra, 1995 An appeal to sci-fi hippies of all ages The funky rainbow cover of this book was what caught my eye at first, then the title began to resonate in my hippie soul. Summer of Love is about a runaway girl who calls herself Starbright who goes to the Haight-Asbury district during the summer of 1967, looking for her friend Penny Lane. She meets a time traveler from five hundred years in the future, who is looking for her as the key to ...             The Eyes of God14 reviews Mark Kreighbaum Spectra, 1998 great sci fi is very rare! What makes great science fiction? To me it's a combination of new ideas, a well told story, and memorable characters. The two books the comprise this series "The Pinch" are both great, in fact the only complaint I have is that there are only two books. The world created here isn't entirely new, but I have yet to read science fiction that doesn't borrow something from a tale told previously. It ...             The Gandalara Cycle: Volume I14 reviews Randall Garrett Spectra, 1986 Excellent and thought provoking series These books depict a journey both physical and spiritual. The hero, Rikardon, and his partner Tarani make many discoveries about themselves and the world they inhabit. Many of the discoveries are a surprise and I won't give them away. Suffice to say this series is very well written with well fleshed out characters (both human and non), a good historical background woven into the story, and a fast ...             Shore of Women,the12 reviews Pamela Sargent Spectra, 1987 Intelligent, Imaginative, Beautifully Wrought--And OOP Pamela Sargent's The Shore of Women works out in persuasively anthropological detail--almost Geertzian "thick description," if you will--a post-apocalyptic world in which women rule with space-age technologies from walled citadels, exiling male children into literal stone age societies of isolated bands clad in animal skins, where lives are nasty, brutish, and short. The violence of Sargent's ...             Waiting For The Galactic Bus13 reviews Parke Godwin Spectra, 1989 Excellent, entertaining religious satire .... Waiting for the Galactic bus begins at the begining...of the human race that is. Some aliens who can exist in solid form or in energy are taking a trip around the universe, tripping all the way since they're young and want to try the latest and greatest in sensory experience through thier equivilant of drugs and extreme sports.
