A Review of Burn Down The Sky
Burn Down the Sky by James Jaros My rating: 2 of 5 stars Okay, at first I thought this book had potential. Emmy-winning author. Post-Apocalyptic/Dystopian. I dig it. My kind of thing. Promising beginning. Lots of violence. I can deal with that. But then some creepy things start, well, creeping into the book. First, it’s …

It’s not realistically military and the science fiction is insufficient, as I will explain. I started experiencing pangs of nervousness almost immediately as I began reading this book. Something didn’t feel “right” about it. Something …

A Review of The Demu Trilogy
Demu Trilogy by F.M. Busby My rating: 1 of 5 stars Typical of so many 1970s pulp sci fi writers and books. F.M. Busby’s The Demu Trilogy may actually be good, although with a 3.59 rating on Goodreads, I doubt it, but I’m not going to give it a shot by finishing it and you …
