- ronjouch 13y agoCool, thanks! Can anyone comment on the quality of the StoryBundle? Here it is, any must-read here? - Hopscotch, by Kevin J. Anderson - In Hero Years...I'm Dead, by Michael A. Stackpole - On My Way to Paradise, by David Farland - Santiago, by Mike Resnick - Swarm, by B. V. Larson - The Disappeared, by Kristine Kathryn Rusch - (bonus) High-Opp, by Frank Herbert - (bonus) The Stars in Shroud, by Gregory Benford
- patja 13y agoI've read Swarm and the others in that series. They are fun pulpy summer time military-adventure-scifi reads. Good page turners without a lot of depth or complexity. I felt a little guilty for enjoying them, but they must have some redeeming qualities as I just keep buying them as fast as they get published! I think the B.V. Larson books are particularly interesting to programmers as the protagonist is a computer science lecturer who draws a lot of parallels between his challenges "programming" alien technology to meet his needs and programming computers before everything went upside down.
- nelsonweiss 13y agoIf "galactic tall tales" sounds like something you'd enjoy, Santiago would make the $3 minimum bid worthwhile. It's not what I'd call high literature, but I found it very entertaining and have both Santiago and the sequel on paper.
- ekianjo 13y agoGood question, and another one, is there a website focusing on reviews of ebooks ? And I'm not just talking about contents, but also evaluating the ebook presentations and formats available? If not, it would be a good idea if someone made one :) There's a market need.
