I just finished Issue in Doubt by David Sherman.

Overall a good military science fiction tale...except for the ending. I know that this is meant to be an ongoing series but the low page count and lack of any sort of resolution at the end smacks of a cheap ploy to compell readers to buy the author's next book. Other authors such as Jack Campbell and Ian Douglas (aka William Keith) have managed to create satisfying endings for individual books of an ongoing series so why can't David Sherman?!

I was visiting my brother and we made a trip to B&N to look at Nooks or Kindles or whatever gadget they sell. I stumbled across a compilation of seven of H.G. Wells' novels.

Getting ready to start on "The Time Traveler". I can't help thinking about The Big Bang Theory episode where they buy the time machine prop.

Greybriar you've piqued my interest in The Darkness That Comes Before...please post some more as you go along.

I finally finished reading The Darkness That Comes Before. It was a little hard to follow due to the names being so unfamiliar and at a glance many of them looked alike to me. The book contained a few scenes that were really freaky. Life is cheap in the story and many have died, including some characters I had thought would be around for awhile. Characters range from the lowest classes in society to near deities. All in all I enjoyed the book and am looking forward to reading The Warrior Prophet: The Prince of Nothing.

While I'm waiting for its sequel, I am reading The War that Made America by Fred Anderson. It is definitely a change of pace.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

They are pretty hard-hitting stories. I've recently finish reading 'White Luck Warrior', which is good. Not sure when the next one comes out.
