The Legacy of Balthazar: Inheritance ReviewExcellent character development. Written by the guy who installed and works on my air/heating system. Cool. Man of all talents.The Legacy of Balthazar: Inheritance OverviewAn ancient and powerful alien civilization, all but destroyed by a celestial impact millennia ago. Now, after thousands of years, their plan to rebuild their race is nearing fruition, and it's happening here, on Earth.In the near future, the world is running out of known deposits of fossil fuels. Dr. Amanda Johnson, a brilliant, beautiful, and extremely tall computer designer and programmer, has been recruited by DARPA to design a satellite based scanning system to locate any hidden carbon reserves on the planet. This system, based in Phoenix, Arizona and called AUGER, will also be re-tasked to continuously track all nuclear materials once the carbon scans are completed.Amanda''s fraternal twin brother, Tyler Johnson, also brilliant and extremely tall, is a world traveling archaeologist, working with their adoptive parents Gordon and Ashley Jameson. Tyler is aware of Amanda's carbon based scanner system, and asks her to use it to search for small carbon deposits that may lead to previously undiscovered archaeological sites for him to excavate. Amanda agrees, and, using Majel, a computer A.I. that she has developed, and that Tyler has, unknown to her at the time, modified, she finds several thousand potential sites, one of which is most unusual. A large cube shaped object buried in North Carolina. After informing her brother, he and their parents go to investigate. What they find will change their lives, and the world, forever.Amanda and Tyler embark on an incredible journey that will take them as far away as the surface of Mars, and even to other dimensions. Along the way they will encounter aliens, suicidal terrorists, nuclear weapons, and even rogue elements of their own military. Difficulties which pale in comparison when they discover that they, Amanda and Tyler Johnson, are themselves another world's Legacy.

The Spiral Labyrinth: A Tale Of Henghis Hapthorn ReviewI rarely write reviews as I find that most people who have commented before me have covered the gamut, but this entry has been barren and I just finished the book so I figured I'd give it a go.
I first read Matthew Hughes in F/SF magazine about a year ago with his short story "The Sweet Trap" and I was hooked ever since. The one problem with picking up Hughes' work at that point is that it really helps to have read all previous Hapthorn stories to understand the setups and the relationships between the characters. So I went back and read The Gist Hunter and Other Stories and then picked up Majestrum. The Spiral Labyrinth then continues the saga and hints at a continuation.
For anyone who has read "The Sweet Trap" previously, the first couple chapters will be familiar as they are an adaptation of the aforementioned story. The pace picks up from there as Hapthorn is separated from his internal second-personality Osk Rievor and deposited in a land very much antagonistic to a rational freelance discriminator.
If you have read a Hapthorn story before, this continues the saga brilliantly. Without posting any spoilers, I love how each entry in the series (with the exception of some of the earlier stories) really changes the world and doesn't come full circle allowing for interesting setups for the next installments.
If you are new to Hengis Hapthorn stories, I can't recommend this yet. Read The Gist Hunter and Other Stories and the Majestrum. Then you will be greatly pleased when you reach this book.
I cannot wait for more.The Spiral Labyrinth: A Tale Of Henghis Hapthorn Overview

Princess of Gossip ReviewThere are many reasons to read this book. The authors made it simple to "see" the story play out by making the characters realistic and easy to relate to, the plot line is both believable and fun, and they incorporated lots and lots of pop culture. But I think the biggest thing that makes this book different is how well it built technology into the story-- like cell phones and MySpace, which we all use now. I'd never read a book that seemed to "get" how we use those things and build them into the story so well.
If you keep up with pop culture, and you have ever experienced drama - online or otherwise - this book is a must-read for you.Princess of Gossip Overview Who knows better than Sabrina Bryan of The Cheetah Girls what it's really like to be famous? In this addictive new novel, Sabrina teams up with popular author Julia DeVillers to tell the story of an ordinary girl with an extraordinary secret.... Life in southern California is not at all like Avery expected. She feels invisible at her new high school, her parents are always working, and her only friends are on MySpace. If only her life was like the celebrities she reads about online.... When she's mistaken on MySpace for a rising pop star's assistant, Avery scores an invite to a glamorous Hollywood party and snaps a photo of a young starlet with her secret new beau. Eager to share her juicy scoop, Avery starts a blog, the Princess of Gossip, and the next thing she knows, she's the new gossip girl to watch. Suddenly she's getting the inside scoop on celebrity sightings, and designers are sending her their hottest clothes and accessories in the hopes of scoring a mention on her blog. When Avery shows up at school in her exclusive fashion swag, even Cecilia, the most popular girl in their class, takes notice. Then celebutante playboy Beckett Howard sees Avery wearing one of his father's designs and asks her out. The Princess of Gossip's true identity is still a secret, but when the paparazzi catch Avery and Beckett on a date, Cecilia gets jealous. There's only room for one it girl at school. Can the Princess of Gossip hold onto her crown?

The Sciences of Avatar ReviewDorion Sagan's latest book is a masterpiece. A refreshing, written with very high integrity, balanced and highly interesting study from various angles of Cameron's breakthrough movie. A highly recommended and these days so rare jewel of a book.The Sciences of Avatar OverviewDoes life exist on Mars or in the Alpha Centauri star system? Is it possible to project ourselves into others' bodies? Can mountains float? Award-winning writer Dorion Sagan encyclopedically explores a potpourri of subjects-from "Machine Evolution" and “Out of Body Experiences" to “Panspermia" and "Xenology" in this unique book. The Sciences of Avatar takes a look at our world through the disciplines-not just materialistic science, but “Ideology," “Parapsychology," “Feminism," "Ethnobotany," and more-at work in what is presently the most popular science fiction movie of all time, James Cameron's Avatar. “I loved your book!" -Melissa Jane Ostrom"Sagan provides a delightful overview of the real science that connects with the story of Avatar, and allows us a further exploration of the magical, compelling world of Pandora. A witty, insightful, and enlightening book!" - Kathryn Denning, PhD, Associate Professor, Anthropology, York UniversityDorion Sagan is co-author or author of twenty-four books translated into eleven languages, including Microcosmos and Death and Sex, a two-in-one book whose unique design won it first place in the 2010 New York Book Show in the general trade nonfiction category. His coauthored Into the Cool was praised by Nobel Prize winner Roald Hoffmann. What is Life? was listed with works by Billie Holiday and William Shakespeare as one of 100 “Mind-Altering Masterpieces" by the editors of The Utne Reader. He presently divides his time between Amherst, Massachusetts and Toronto, Canada.Praise for Dorion Sagan's other books:Microcosmos (with Lynn Margulis)“A seminal book" - Ben Bova. “This admiring reader of Lewis Thomas, Carl Sagan, Stephen Jay Gould and other popularizers of biology has rarely, if ever, encountered so luminous a prose style in a work of this kind." - Melvin Konner, The New York Times Book ReviewWhat is Life? (with Lynn Margulis)“A masterpiece of science writing." -Mitchell Thomashow, Orion.
