The
Human Blend by Alan Dean Foster Speculative fiction about
plastic surgery gone extreme combined with a mysterious mcguffin of a
digital storage filament make this a fun adventure romp. Skin Game by Jim Butcher. Not sure why it got this title--I guess a more accurate title would be Oceans Demonic 11, a heist from Hades with a lot of evil types and one forsworn wizard not participating of his own volition. I'm a fan of the series--loved the short lived tv series based on it and the actor from it now playing in the Arrow tv series... Flinx Transcendant by Alan Dean Foster. This was a second generation "boy and his extraterrestrial buddy save the universe" story of the type pioneered by Andre Norton... I always liked the series and was happy to find this conclusion, 35 years after the series started... The story meandered like the author as well as Flinx were trying to figure out what he was supposed to do, but it was fun anyway... Time and Again by Jack Finney. This was a tour de force of a time travel novel, from an author clearly in love with New York City in either the 1880's or the 1960's when I think he wrote it. A series of blurry photos and drawings add to the utter believability of the story as told. |
