Him and his friends Chad and Michel join every team the school has : football , soccer ,hockey ,basketball and last baseball. At first the guys ar...
Scott Sigler, the Future Dark Overlord has done it again. The All-Pro is a great addition to the Galactic Football League series. For a sci-fi fan who doesn't watch or particularly care about football, I love this series which is all about football...700 years in the future. Scott does a great jo...
Sigler keeps chugging along in this smart melding of science-fiction and sports story genres. I am glad to hear that he'll be moving away from as much of the on-field story line, because I think he was just on the edge of getting a bit boring with it. I lean towards four-stars on this because whi...
The Crew sets up what promises to be his crowning work. So much potential, and it's the heart of his attraction: gritty, hard science fiction. Same universe as his GFL series, but not YA in the least. Scary, shocking sometimes, dark, harrowing (oh, passenger virus, you sweet wonderful plot device...
Great collection of short stories from serialized author Scott Sigler. One of the best things about Sigler is the fact that he releases all of his content ... for free. This means you can listen to the author read his own complete works and decide for yourself if his blend of sci-fi/horror/thrill...
I love the GFL books and was in the need of a quick GFL fix and thought this could help me out. I enjoyed this book but I did have a tougher time caring about the characters. Don't get me wrong, they were interesting characters but I wasn't even sure who I wanted to win. If you are a GFL fan it i...
This book is a pretty substantial win on several levels. To better grasp where my view of The Reporter comes from, its probably good to mention how I came to it. If you are unfamiliar with Sigler or Lafferty's careers, they are, at least, the godparents of Fiction by Podcast. Both embraced electr...
On a remote island in Lake Superior, scientists struggle to solve the problem of xenotransplantation -- using animal tissue to replace failing human organs. Funded by the biotech firm Genada, Dr. Claus Rhumkorrf seeks to recreate the ancestor of all mammals. By getting back to the root of our cr...
Long legs keep them above the dense underbrush. Their yellow, brown and green coloring fades into our surroundings. They rattle, whine and vibrate in a way that doesn’t seem right. If the machines were newer, not so beat up, I imagine they would be as silent as the circle-stars they were made for...
We carry torches. Aramovsky didn’t get dirty. He didn’t fall, not even once. Figures. With the help of Bishop and Visca, he ripped down the flagpoles. I hate to admit it, but Aramovsky did a good job. Spingate and Gaston used the knife to cut the fl...
He knelt to the sidewalk and leaned against a building wall. He sat very still. Rex waited. A block ahead, a boy in a dark sweatshirt stopped and looked back. His head moved, his eyes searched, but after a few seconds, the boy turned away and kept moving down Laguna Street. Rex waited a few secon...
Before Dew died, he had been at the tail end of his career. Truth be told, he’d been well past that. In his late sixties, Dew had been forced into intense physical action while managing, protecting — and occasionally even beating the crap out of — one “Scary” Perry Dawsey. Clarence thought of Dew...
The plywood wall moved aside, the Hummer rolled in, and the plywood wall was put back in place. The other vehicles would arrive soon. Ogden had ordered them to split up, come at the building from different routes, arrive at different times. A convoy would have drawn too much attention, but one gr...
MOTIVATION Dew refused to cry. Just wasn’t going to happen. It wanted to come out, and he had trouble fighting it back, but no way in hell. He wasn’t in this business to make friends. It hurt, sure it did, but Malcolm Johnson wasn’t his first friend to die in the line of duty. &...
Quentin adjusted the strap of his shoulder sling, then stepped inside.Images of his teammates floated in the middle of the room, lines of light leading between them, or to bits of text, or to paused holos showing scenes of flaming buildings, or to sentients Quentin didn’t recognize. System police...
