Titan Brings Back “The Adjacent”
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…

“Deadbeat” Is A Lively Read
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…

Charlotte Kinzie || Kamloops, BC When this book arrived I was a little worried. I mean – you’ve all noticed how much Sherlock Holmes is around lately.

Time’s Last Gift, by Philip Jose Farmer – Reprinted
Philip Jose Farmer is one of those authors many of us have on our “to read” list. He’s been on mine for a while. Fortunately, Titan Books is reprinting a lot of his work. When I picked up Time’s Last Gift and began to read, I was skeptical; I’m not one to embrace time-travel stories. I find them to…
