Science Fiction

In February I managed to read three hard sci fi novels which for me was a huge accomplishment.

I started with


Mothership by Tony Chandler

It is not the best science fiction story out there or the most accurate depiction of an AI you will probably encounter. Despite all that, I found my self clouding on more than one occasion and rooting for the good guys and that, considering that I am out of my genre completely here, was for me a revelation. Does Four and a half stars compute mother?



after that I read the




Spin by Robert Charles Wilson

I read it during a sci fi dare along with another two novels from different authors. I tried to like it, but none of the characters went under my skin. Too long and very difficult to read. 2.5 stars.


and finally


Old Man's War by John Scalzi


Brilliant story, with fantastic characters, especially the protagonist. A must read for any serious sci-fi reader and a very interesting book for all. I want to give it 5.5 stars. Seriously.
