[Now with more dogs!] An Extinction Cycle short to hold us (me) over until Book 7 is released!
This is a short story to be read after Book six. Since I just finished book six, Amazon recommended this to me. I was deep in Extinction town at this point, so I downloaded it! It’s only five chapters and about eighty pages long, so it was a quick read. Don’t worry, it includes my favorite character (Apollo). Although he doesn’t get much to do, he does comfort Fitz, and the other soldiers. He comforted some kids that they rescued in Book six too. Basically […]
The Variants are back, and so is Apollo!
This is book six in the Extinction Cycle books. I read book five a few months ago, and then needed a little break from the bleak world of the Variants and the Juveniles and all the fighting. When I picked this book up (Kindle version natch), it took me a little while to get into it, for those very same reasons. Once I got going though, I couldn’t stop. I love the characters in this world. Also, Apollo is back. Once I saw he’d be […]
Okay, But I Have Questions
So, this series apparently got a lot of hype when the first book, The Passage, first came out. I was, presumably, living under a rock at the time, and so hadn’t heard of it. In fact, I didn’t really hear about the series until the final book came out, at which point I decided to read them all. And, well, the first half of the first book was great, the second half was good. The second book was okay, verging on bad and the third book was […]
Some Will Not Sleep – like me!
From the author, on the title: The title of the collection was inspired by the First Epistle of Corinthians (15:5), written by Paul the Apostle: “We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed”. As with much of the bible, there are multiple interpretations of the meaning in this statement. But there are several interpretations of the title of this book too. Some within it do not sleep, some who read it may not sleep, and he who wrote it often doesn’t sleep. […]
He walked like no man on earth, I swear he had no name.
As you know by now, I’m a sucker for Uncle Stevie. Anything he writes, I’ll read. Novel, short story, op-ed, tweets, collaborations…I’m there. That’s why I’m a Constant Reader. This isn’t the first collaboration with another author that I’ve read by King. He wrote a few short stories with his son, Joe Hill that were pretty good (In the Tall Grass was legitimately terrifying). His book with Stewart O’Nan, Faithful, is probably my favorite non-fiction book of all time. So, even though I had never […]
