&#8220;You can&#8217;t go home again.&#8221;
By the latter years of the 21st century, Earth had become too polluted, too congested, too conflicted to survive.  Many grand gestures were made to placate the panicking hordes, and of them was the initiative to search for other habitable [...] ]]></description>

This book suffers terribly from the unfulfilled expectations of the readers.  Partly, that&#8217;s the fault of the publisher: the cover photo shows a man dressed in a decades-old conception of what &#8220;the future&#8221; would look like.  Partly, though, those expectations come from the [...] ]]></description>

Very few people ever achieve the historic honor of having their names become adjectives.  Charles Fort did it almost entirely on the basis of this one book, a compendium of physical anomalies which defied the explanations of the scientific orthodoxies of the time.  Orthodoxies [...] ]]></description>

By now you&#8217;ve read dozens of reviews of the movie, most of which make no more than passing reference to the original novel.  So, as turnabout, I present a review of the novel which makes little reference to the movie.
Richard Matheson is himself a [...] ]]></description>

It&#8217;s pretty much undisputed that Robert B. Parker has become a sloppy novelist, especially where his Spenser novels are concerned.  Some people mark the downturn from the point at which he started using pithy little one- or two-word titles instead of literary [...] ]]></description>

Robert J. Sawyer is a good SF writer.  A very good one.  He habitually combines hard SF concepts (or at least semi-hard) with a rollicking good story.  His novels are always inventive, and far from formulaic.   But even he might [...] ]]></description>

Beyond its strengths as a well-written novel (as if that weren&#8217;t enough), Nancy Kress&#8217;s 1990 novel Brainrose is fascinating in the ways in which it&#8217;s early 21st century backdrop differs from the future in which we live.  The America of 2022 has lived through [...] ]]></description>

Unlike the majority of post-apocalyptic series adventure novels churned out in the 1980&#8217;s (and who would have guessed that that would ever become a well-represented subgenre?), the story of the Phoenix series doesn&#8217;t begin years after the nuclear holocaust, with the remnant [...] ]]></description>

In response to my review of Daniel Jeffreys&#8217;s America&#8217;s Back Porch (short version, in case you don&#8217;t feel like clicking through:  I hated hated hated it), J.C. Hallman offered me a copy of his own book, which overlaps in subject matter but not [...] ]]></description>
