Review: Worlds Of The Sex Gates

Worlds Of The Sex Gates by Jeanine Berry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sex change abounds. Total sex change. Hormones, reproductive parts, everything. Interesting take on the roles gender can have in society when gender is not permanent.

In this third installment even more is learned about the mysterious creators of the sex gates. And more about the humans that use them.

Review: The Forge of God

The Forge of God by Greg Bear
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An ancient volcano cone is discovered in southwest USA by three geologists. It wasn't there yesterday. A dying alien is found next to it, telling of the destruction to come, the destruction of the Earth no less.

The questions are many. Is the alien lying? If so, why? Is the Earth really going to be destroyed? If the Earth is going to be destroyed, when? How? Can we stop it? If we think we can't stop it, should we try anyway? How did the ancient volcano get here?

Lots of questions. You'll have to read the book to get the answers because they are all spoilers.

Read this book. Then read the sequel "Anvil of Stars".

I consider the reading of this book to be mandatory. You must read it. You must read it. Stop reading this and read the book. ;)

Review: Anvil of Stars

Anvil of Stars by Greg Bear
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Great book, as are all Greg Bear books I have read so far. I must now reread "Forge of God" because it has been many years since I read it and I can't recall the details to connect with "Anvil of Stars".

I reread Forge of God. So, naturally, I had to reread Anvil of Stars to keep the continuity straight (also, it has been years since I read it). I am currently rereading Anvil of Stars. Forge of God and Anvil of Stars are both just as good as they were the first time I read them.

A few details to flesh out the original review:

Spoiler Alert: the Forge of God part of this review has a few spoilers if you haven't read Forge of God, read Forge of God first then come back.

In Forge of God the Earth is destroyed by alien killer machines. Other ships show up and, warring with the killer machines, they manage to destroy them, save a couple thousand humans and start the terraforming of Mars and Venus so humans will have planets to live on.

Anvil of Stars continues with teenagers and young adults, that were children when Earth was destroyed, onboard a Ship of the Law. A Ship of the Law is a ship created by the machines of the Benefactors and crewed by children that volunteered to carry out Justice against the original creators of the killer machines.

A pair of fantastic books by a very imaginative writer. I highly recommend them both.

Review: Galactic Legend of Life and Death

Galactic Legend of Life and Death by Boian Alexandrov
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A strange story overall.

I liked it, but it was somewhat difficult to follow.

The primary concept of this book is not unique but is unique in the way the author treats it.

It is a mix of spirituality, fantasy, science fiction and probably a couple of other genres.

Review: The Descendants

The Descendants by Nathan Wall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Descendants Evolution of Angels Volume 2)
by Nathan Wall
I read the third one first and it was so good I bought this one and volume one.
This trilogy is intriguing. It is a unique blend of mythology, religion, and technology.

Angels that seem to depend on technology instead of being supernatural. Humans that may be supernatural under the right conditions. This is an interesting reversal of religion and mythology.

This book has lots of action, mystery, technology that's advanced enough to seem like magic, murder, mayhem, angelic revolution, betrayal, loyalty, etc.

This book is very hard to put down before finishing it.

I think everyone should read this.
