Review:
If Godwin's book is an attempt to hark back to the rather hokey "Golden Age" stories of science fiction, it must be reckoned a success. We have delta- winged space fighters, dashing deeds of daring do, and a local economy based on cigarette trading. (On the other hand, Godwin's other books all seem to be sword and sorcery types, so maybe we can put it down to lack of familiarity with the modern genre.) What I find fascinating in the book, though, is the theme of electronic intelligence and data security. The "Limbo" of the title is, basically, an electronic listening post. The searchers/listeners are tracking voice transmissions, guarded by that most sophisticated of encryption methods: code words! This is rendered even more secure...

Review:
Miles turns 30, and--though he isn't slowing down just yet--he is starting to lose interest in the game of Wall: the one where he tries to climb the wall, fails, gets up, and tries again. Having finally reached a point in his life where he can look back and realize that he has managed to prove his courage and competence, he can move on to bigger and better things. Depending on how you count it, this is the eighth, ninth, tenth, or eleventh book in a series--not all are about Miles or even his extended family. A good place to start is with the first Vorkosigan story, Shards of Honor. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

Review:
Having reviewed and enjoyed other books by Hogan (cf. BKBUGPRK.RVW and BKIMMOPT.RVW) I was terribly disappointed by this one. Not that it is really bad, as such: the story is a fairly average piece of science fiction. It's just that Hogan can do so much better. I am giving away nothing in saying that the Multiplex Man of the title is a man of many parts, and only a little in stating that the parts are multiple personalities. (The surprise twist ending, in fact, will come as no surprise at all to anyone who has been paying attention throughout the book.) The technology taken to accomplish the multiplexing is standard fare, but, again, unsatisfactory given Hogan's previous level of detail and realism. In some passages of the book itsel...

Review:
Over the last few years, Jack McDevitt has quietly been producing an outstanding collection of science fiction novels. Earlier works such as The Engines of God and Ancient Shores had a thoughtful, archeological-exploration bent, but with Moonfall he takes off the gloves to create a splashy, near-future science fiction thriller with a big cast of characters and a do-or-die attitude. At the center of the story is Charlie Haskell, the U.S. vice president, who in 2024--an election year--has arrived at the American Moonbase to cut the ribbon and declare it operational. But there's a problem, and it's a doozy: a "sun-grazer" comet, with immense mass and speed, is on a collision course with the moon. Haskell, with an eye to his public im...
