Humor/Political satire

Review: This is an entertaining light read suitable for a journey by train or by air but I was disappointed in it after the Queen and I. Some of the situations that are described are a little far fetched and stretch ones imagination to the limit. Whilst it is easy to understand that some pretty disgusting language is used in the circumstances described, I considered it a bit over-the-top, unnecessary,and excessive, spoiling the generally entertaining style of the book. It is not difficult to identify the real life characters described. Nearing the end the book starts running out ...

Book 3 of 6 in the Earth: Final Coflict tie-ins series.

Review: Requiem for Boone is an incredible look at the life of William Boone, from his service in the SI war to his work in the Denver PD. It also provides brilliant insight into Kate Boone, in the form of correspondence. Every other chapter is written as one of Kate's e-mails. Though this is a somewhat unorthodox method of story-telling, it is very effective in letting the reader understand her, while still advancing the plot. This is a must-read for any fans of the series, especially given that it shows the first meeting between Boone and Augur. One...
