(08.02.99): William Shatner - Man o' War I'm not certain whether this book is SF or Fantasy. The action is in the future(SF), and contains a honest politican(Fantasy). Have you ever heard someone said that they couldn't put the book away? I had no problem with putting this book away... I could therefore go directly to the next book: |

(09.03.99): Terry Pratchett - Last Continent Kangaroo's, beer, an unfinished Continent and Rincewind... yes, he's still dreaming about potatoes, and is still the fastest wizard on two feet... Another hysterically funny book in the Discworld series. |

(10.04.99): Margaret Weis & Don Perrin - Hung Out The third tale in the series about Mag Force 7. There's Xris the Cyborg and his strange mercenary companions. This time they liberate a slave race, and rip off the biggest crime syndicate in the galaxy. This book is well worth the read, even if it's not as good as the first two.(In my humble opinion :-) Since that was a collaboration, I decided to add another... Poul Anderson & Gordon R. Dickson - Hoka! Hoka! Hoka! The 'subtitle' is Alien Teddy bears conquer the Universe... I must have looked silly, sitting at the Airport, reading and laughing all the time... This book is not recommended for people with a heart condition! |

(01.05.99): Brian Daley - Fall of the White Ship Avatar This is the third story aboutHobart Floyt and Alacrity Fitzhugh. Alacrity finally gets command of the white ship, but gives it away, and Hobart finds love. The book is at times hysterically funny, but does not quite compare with the first two books... (And they were really good :-) |

(25.06.99): Anne McCaffrey - Freedom's Challenge In the Sixties Anne wrote a story called 'The Thorns of Barevi'(published in Get off the Unicorn). That story later became Freedom's Landing, the first book in her Catteni Sequence. This is the third and final book in the trilogy. Before you read it(Recommended!), should you read the two first: Freedom's Landing and Freedom's Choice since they explains some of the action in this one. Good reading, a little on the light side, but still engaging. |
