Who'd a thunk it?
Matt Hill thought of it
Graft
Sizzling, Bizarre, Shiny
Okay, Okay
There is nothing Shiny here
Maybe a clean car
It's 2025 Manchester England
Everything sucks, big time
Sol runs a chop shop
Old cars for old parts
Why oh why did they jack a shiny new Lexus
Big mistake, really Big mistake
I've just finished the eARC
Thank you Angry Robot!
Often a little confused
My mind miss-directing itself
Thinking I "knew" something
I didn't
Always Locked-In
Full of Wonderment, ooh
About the Lexus
There was a surprise in the boot
A woman
A woman with three arms
"Made to order"
Something new in music
The Milk Carton Kids
Monterey
Don't miss it
C. A. Higgins / Lightless / Brilliant Debut / Hard Sci-Fi / Social Sci-Fi
I love Hard Sci-Fi full of real science
I love Social Sci-Fi full of serious social issues
Do all of the above in one story
And Illuminate the Human Condition
What more could I ask for
Lightless by C. A. Higgins
Does it all
The Ship (the Ananke) is magnificent
Think big, as in Death Star big
We do not know it's purpose
On the ship a crew of 3
You heard me right, only 3 crew members
And an awakening computer
Althea, the engineer, designed much
Coded the computer
Ananke is hers and hers alone
Ananke is her child
Althea will protect her child
This book is on many Best of 2015 lists
With good reason
Music from 1988
Steve Earle / Copperhead Road

Scott Hawkins / The Library at Mount Char / Bizarre Twist Twisty Twisted Pleasure To Read
There is a Library
There are Librarians
Like nothing you have imagined
Scott Hawkins debut
The Library at Mount Char
Inventive merely hints at the brilliance here
You can't become complacent
The rules are always changing
The ante, your life
The stakes, always being raised
Carolyn and her peers
Spirited away as children
Raised by "father"
Each with their own library skill set
Some much more deadly than others
Father, perhaps God, or something else
Missing now
Turbulent times to be sure
I'm just not giving any spoilers here
Sometimes touching
Sometimes uber-violent
Sometimes both, often with a Bam! of Bazaar
This is a very unique read
You will be engaged
Music
Ryan Adam / 1989
Covering Taylor Swift's CD 1989

Adam Mansbach / The Dead Run / Page Burning Thriller
Adam Mansbach can make you turn pages
The Dead Run defies genera placement
The pages turn none the less
The Jess Galvan Series will hook you
In The Dead Run
Jess is just trying to do the right thing
Save his daughter, from the cult mom joined
Save a Mexican hooker from some very bad people
Save the World from an Aztec God
Pretty much average day after average day
The plotting makes complete sense
Convoluted it may be
It makes perfect sense to the reader
Fans of Richard Kadrey's Sand Man Slim series
This may be a good choice for you, it was for me
Music revisited
Not for the faint
Trout Mask Replica
Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band

Alex Marshall / A Crown For Cold Silver / A Delightful Abundance Of Diversity
A Crown for Cold Silver
A terrific debut by Alex Marshall
My kind of characters
Flawed, Broken, Irreverent
Indomitable at their core
My kind of Epic Fantasy
Sprawling, Conniving, Bloody
Interesting magic, not over used
I'm a big fan of first novels
This on stands tall
I want more
Music
Ryan Bingham

My Very Favorite Song
Until I'm One With You (listen up on YouTube)
(Theme song to The Bridge TV series)
