"A different type than what I usually read. Remember the TV movie way back when and liked it, and just came across a friend that had the book. Enjoyable!"

by Jonathan Kellerman

by Michael Crichton

by Louis L'Amour
Printed by Bantam Books

Another "what if". What if the Neanderthals never really died out? Really wasn't a bad read, and it came right on the heels of Jurassic Park."

"Book Ten of the Wheel of Time series. A good book, but doesn't really advance the story after book nine. Just tells you what everyone else was doing while Rand was off on his quest"

"The first book in the Mage Wars series, and the "prequel" to Mercedes' Valdemar series. Very good book."

"Third book in the Mage Wars series. I just wish she would do more in this particular series!"

by Mercedes Lackey
Cover art by Jody A. Lee
Printed by Daw Books
"The first book in the "history" of Valdemar, and the first book in The Last Herald Mage series. Young Vanyel is not fit for anything, according to his father. So when he is sent to live and train with his Aunt, he finds that there is much that he can do. This is an older series than the Mage Wars, and it is interesting to see how her writing style has changed - though all of her books are good, wether old or new!"

"The second book in The Last Herald Mage series. It takes place years after the first book, and I really wish that she would write a book(or two) to fill in the gap between them. Vanyel has matured in body, mind, and powers."

by Mercedes Lackey
Cover art by Jody A. Lee
Printed by Daw Books
"The third book in The Last Herald Mage series. Someone is hunting Herald Mages, and it is up to Vanyel to discover and confront the person."

"The story of Herald Lavan Firestorm. This book begins about eighty years or so after The Last Herald Mage series. I really wish she has turned this one into a series. It was over too quickly!"

"The first book of Vows And Honor. Each chapter is a short story in inself, and goes in a chronological order of events. While good, I would have preferred one, smooth reading story."

by Mercedes Lackey

Printed by Daw Books
"The second book of Vows And Honor. I liked this book a little better as it was a whole story all the way through."

"Second book in The Tawny Man series. FitzChilvary Farseer has found himself apart of the Royal court again, much to his discomfort. He trys to unravel the mystery of the foreign girl betrothed to the Prince."

by Anne McCaffrey

Printed by Del Rey
"The first of the Brainship books. A bunch of short stories that were written in the 60's about the Brainship Helva, that are still good even today. Though a few references definately date when the stories were published. Such as Helva's "tape" backup."
