Dachande663's reading history

Cover imageSpin State

by Chris Moriarty
Finished on December 6th 2007
Rated by Dachande663: 4 out of 5

My first foray into 'hard sci-fi' and an enjoyable one. The plot doesn't seem to have changed in five hundred years, but it was a good ride throughout with very strong characters and locations.

A great novel, if now dated a little. Perhaps a tad too short with the final twist underused. A good book nonetheless.

One of Reilly's best books, with an excellent plot and good action sequences. (Not for those looking for something overly intellectual though).

Cover imageHell to Pay

by George P. Pelecanos

A detective story that seems to go backwards more than forwards.

Cover imageInvisible Armies

by Jon Evans

Rated by Dachande663: 1 out of 5

An awful book. Written in the wrong tense for my own tastes, this was painfully sympathetic and obvious.

Cover imageThe Devil's Halo

by Chris Fox
Finished on November 1st 2007
Rated by Dachande663: 5 out of 5

An excellent plot that jaunts around the world with a tenacity and accuracy unmatched by many others.

Cover imageThe Complete Alien Omnibus: "Alien", "Aliens", "Alien 3"

by Alan Dean Foster

Rated by Dachande663: 5 out of 5

Although a near literal conversion of the films, these books are excellent works by their own rights.

Not one of Reillys' best, feels too repetitive throughout.

Cover imageArea 7

by Matthew Reilly

Another good romp from Reilly, he almost borders on developing characters as well.

Cover imageConsent to Kill

by Vince Flynn
Finished on September 25th 2007
Rated by Dachande663: 4 out of 5

Good characters, well described action but severely lacking of a plot outside of revenge.
