After starting this trilogy in 2022, I finally finished the second book this summer and made a considerable dent into the third book. However, the second book is going to be hard to beat. This was incredible. There was a lot going on in this book. Weber takes on the international implications head on and…

Book: V – The Crivit Experiment
I have said it before – I was obsessed with V: The Mini-series. The Series that followed had it’s moments but overall it was a disappointment. The book series that came out at that time showed that there was a lot of potential for story in this universe and I tried my best to read…
Book: Empire from the Ashes Book 1-Mutineers’ Moon
I read this in 2022 and now picking the book back up to finish book 3. The concept really intrigued me and I was wondering where Mr. Weber was going to go with it. I have read enough of the Honorverse series that I kind of get Weber style – epic but still personal. I…
Book: V – The Florida Project
I have been devouring these V books over the past several months to dive deep into the lore and get ideas for the Savage Worlds tabletop RPG campaign I may run. When I was a teen, I was obsessed with the mini-series, the books and the TV show. Unfortunately, the writing in the TV series…
Book: V – The Chicago Conversion
V: The Mini-series was a ground breaking TV show for it’s time and I was obsessed with it. Not only was it sci-fi but it was also a parallel of WWII and the rise of the Third Reich – something I was really into and still am. I fell in love with the first mini-series…
Book: V – The Alien Swordsman
V: The Mini-series was a ground breaking TV show for it’s time and I was obsessed with it. Not only was it sci-fi but it was also a parallel of WWII and the rise of the Third Reich – something I was really into and still am. I fell in love with the first mini-series…
Book: The Expanse: Abaddon’s Gate
This took me a while to read. Two summers and then a couple of other vacations. I stopped watching Season 3 of the show because it was giving away from things that I had not read. I finished both in one day while home sick from work. Book 2 ended with a corporate conspiracy of…
Book: The Expanse: Caliban’s War
Where do you go after destroying Eros and infesting Venus with an alien protomolecule? Kidnapping children and alien-protomolecule hybrids, that’s where! I had already watched the second season of the show while I was reading this but finished it before 3 season was released. This was a great book and brings it all to a…
Book: The Ringworld Engineers
John, this is for you. I finally finished the book! The book you recommended to be back in 1989 and I got for Christmas that year. My parents ordered them through the mail before there was an Amazon. Thanks to audio books, I FINALLY finished it and it was worth it. I wished I had…
Book: Larry Niven’s Crashlander
With the help of audiobooks, I am going back through some books I bought a long time ago at the recommendation of my late friend John Reavis. I hate that I waited this long to read them, this long after John passed away. I would have loved to talked to him about them. Unfortunately I…
