This trade paperback volume of Saga collects issues 13-18. It’s an ongoing series, and you really should be starting at the beginning. It’s also the best comic book/graphic novel series I’ve read in probably a decade, so if you haven’t read it, run to your nearest comics shop and come back when you’ve caught up. Also, it goes without saying that there may be spoilers here for earlier in the series. Marko’s mother has decided to join her son and his new family on their quest to find […]

“…as if he knew even then that there existed under everything a universal grief”
I suppose that The Age of Miracles can be viewed as a dystopian novel. In it our narrator, Julia, tells us about the year she turned 12 and the Earth’s turning slowed down, eventually leading to weeks of daylight and weeks of darkness. It can also be said that this is a sad book, about the dying and destruction of our world. These things are true, but somehow Karen Thompson Walker prevents the novel from being as unbearably sad as the description might have you […]

“Honor Blade”: Star Trek Novelization Vangie13 cbr #35
by Diane Duane “Life needs language to understand itself, and the more language, the better.” A direct sequel to Swordhunt, beginning only moments after Swordhunt ended. They really should have been combined into one book and trimmed down. The Romulan Colony Worlds are beginning to rebel against the treatment from the Hearth Worlds.

The Romulan government will do whatever it takes to get back the sword Ael took with her; war with the Federation looms. The Klingons sit on the sidelines, observing. If they ally with the Romulans, it will be mutual assured […]
