Book Review "A Darkling Sea" by James L Cambias

James Cambias' debut novel is something special.  Hard science that is relentlessly readable with action, humor, and asking a good deal of philosophical questions.  The excitement and dangers of first contact with an alien species along with the political and ideological pitfalls dealing with a third species all set in light-less depths of a vast sea under 20 kilometers of ice in a different world.

Book Review: "Neuromancer" by William Gibson

Neuromancer is thirty years old at this point, but it still holds a place of honor and validity in science fiction.  When it was released it won numerous awards and has been praised by people from more informed and influential places than I could hope to aspire.  So there is likely not much reason to toss yet another bit of praise into the white noise of the sea of praise already heaped upon the title.  But, none-the-less, I am going to do so . . . click read more to, well, read more.
