Frontier Earth - Bruce Boxleitner. Now it took me months of Babylon 5 to have me stop snigger at seing Bruce Boxleitner, and buy into his serious role… Seing him always reminded be of the terminally silly Scarecrow… Now it seems not only is he a good actor, he is a very decent writer too… Science Fiction meets Wild West - it had to be done one day and this is very enjoyable. I’ll buy the sequel.

Soul of the Algorithm Norbert Weissinger - (trade, 405 pages, $19.95 US/$32.95 Can) “Andrew Lee, on the verge of inventing a quantum computer, must escape his father’s legacy and free himself from mind-altering forces. In a world of corporate piracy, where kidnapping and murder are the rule, Lee runs a tortuous path in seeking his father’s killers and discovering the truth behind a sinister multinational corporation that would control him and alter the fate of the world’s electronic commerce.“

The Runner - C. Reich. A different kind of thriller in the end of world war 2.

Death and the Penguin - Abdey Kurkov. New wave russian author. Very wacky book. I enjoyed it a lot but it is strange.

Navohar By Hilari Bell (SFW: Some of the humor may be a little corny, but Navohar is a perfect book for the summer.). It’s just plain fun to read, and it has some really great camels.

Candle - Barnes, John. Made me want to look up this author again. The last book of his I had read had left me quite cold, this has woken up my interest again. Intriguing universe.
