  • Review || Ecko Burning

    Danie Ware’s writing is a little like a Geek Anthology of styles. Not unlike the first book of Ware’s trilogy that I reviewed, Ecko Rising, this novel is a delectable soup of fantasy and science fiction. We first met Ware’s character, Ecko, in “Ecko Rising”. Ecko is an assassin ,and at the end of Book…

    C.Kinzie|| Nanaimo, BC I’m not sure how I missed this novel when it first came out, nor am I sure what I expected. I thought, when I began this book by Christopher Priest, that there might be something historical about it. I certainly didn’t expect to want to add this book to my list of…

    C.Kinzie || Kamloops, BC “Deadbeat: Makes You Stronger” is a hell of a fun book.  Now, this review is going to be tricky.  I want to write about all the amusing quips and snide remarks but there just won’t be time.  In addition, if you’re unfamiliar with the characters in this book – I don’t…
