The Clone Elite Review"The Clone Elite" is the fourth in the series from Ace scifi author Steven L. Kent. It's more of the same...but that's a good thing. The story of interstellar civil war expands to intergalactic invasion as a mysterious army of aliens takes the Milky Way by storm.
Kent further develops the conflicted cloned character of Wayson Harris in a heroic tale where the fate of humanity is held in balance. There are new enemies (both foreign and domestic) to kill and lots of new hardware to help do the job.
"The Clone Elite" weaves a compelling plot that explores more of clone culture. The introduction of a new extra-galactic alien threat and the inventive path that the characters use to defeat it, provides for a very entertaining read.
If you're a military scifi fan, this series is a must read. I already can't wait for the next three books!The Clone Elite Overview2514 A.D.: An unstoppable alien force is advancing on Earth, wiping out the Unified Authority's colonies one by one. It's up to Wayson Harris, an outlawed model of a clone, and his men to make a last stand on the planet of New Copenhagen, where they must win the battle and the war—or lose all.

Centauri Wars ReviewThis book is a must read for science fiction fans. Lots of action, high tech, mystery and romance awaits the readers. The characters are vividly described. Once you start reading it, its difficult to put down. I was not disappointed with my purchase and I recommend it highly.Centauri Wars Overview“Centauri Wars" is a spell-binding science-fiction adventure novel about our near future involving alien conflicts among Earth's society and our neighbors in outer space, the Alpha Centauri civilization and a technologically advanced culture within the Hyades star system, about 150 light-years away, known as the Kaelono. All are vying for resources that permit faster-than-light travel to give them dominance over our sector of the Milky Way Galaxy. One such resource, Psylobe, has been found uniquely in the Alpha Centauri system, and permits certain alien-human Hybrids to distort spacetime, allowing hyperlight travel through quantum hyperspace. The age-old nemesis of the Centaurians, the Kaelono, whose Anunnaki ancestors also plundered the Solar System, are again threatening the Centauri culture whose battles have been chronicled in ancient Hindu and Sumerian texts. Now the human race has joined the war over resources in the Centauri system, and rights to exploit valuable minerals within our own Solar System as well.However, the indigenous population on Alpha Centauri has their own ideas about how their resources should be utilized and has planned a counter-attack. Among their teleporting Hybrids, Valdar and his sister, Nari, have emerged as champions of the Centauri race and its Psylobe that allows them to tap into the vast powers of the Dark Energy. Together with a fighting priestess, Ashera, they are challenging both the ominous threat from the Kaelono's deadly space armada as well as Earth's attempts to stake a claim on the Psylobe within the Alpha Centauri system. Alpha Centaurians' Psylobe holds the key to harnessing the almost limitless Dark Energy reservoirs. And both Terran and Malthakosan governments are willing to wage a brutal war to gain control over this power. The fate of interstellar civilizations for the next 10,000 years hangs in the balance, while our Solar System has been caught in the middle of this deadly power struggle among mighty alien cultures. And who will take riches hidden in our Asteroid Belt?“Doc" Cormier, has drawn from his years of experience as a physician, writer and former NASA engineer to craft this fast-paced science-fiction adventure in the spirit of Asimov, Clark, Heinlein and Herbert. Educated at MIT, he has worked with numerous cutting-edge technologies, and has woven the latest advancements in vacuum energy, zero-point energy propulsion and nanotechnology into a spell-binding tale combining the best in hard science-fiction with plenty of adventure and drama. For the first time anywhere, “Centauri Wars" introduces the powerful forces of Dark Energy to form the basis for the "Corcas-drive" technology that may ultimately propel us to the stars. By contrast, atomic energy is as meager as a candle flame when compared to the colossal powers locked within the zero-point energy, and the mysterious Dark Energy. If you liked “Avatar", “Star Wars" and “Star Trek", or just the thrill of tightly-woven science-fiction with lots of action and thrills that will keep you on the edge of your seat, then you'll love “Centauri Wars".So if you're tired of hearing about the “Economy" and the “Energy Crisis", get some E-ticket fun and excitement instead and take the “Centauri Wars" challenge: settle back, fasten your space-harness, and hang on for a spine-tingling ride, in the best tradition of science fiction, on this wild journey into our near-future and that of our interstellar neighbors, as you travel through time and hyperspace. And don't miss these exciting “Centauri Wars" sequels coming soon --- “The Secret Weapon" and “Treasure of the Asteroid Pirates".

Subversion at Q-Prime (Alter) ReviewI generally judge a book by how I feel at the moment I read the last line. Was it worth the investment of my time? In the case of Subversion at Q Prime, I can definitely answer `yes' to that question. Although the first few chapters did require some concentrated effort in order to grasp the concepts (for somebody like me who is not a regular science fiction reader), once my mind had acclimatized to the setting and become accustomed to the writing style, the story flowed easily and took me on a journey sometimes exciting, sometimes shocking, sometimes humorous, sometimes surprising, leading finally to an altogether satisfying conclusion; a conclusion that does, however, leave a few questions unanswered and some anticipation of more to come.
A few readers could find some of the content offensive - take warning: if you are a devout Christian or Jew this book may not appeal to you. But, if you have an open mind and a curiosity about the origins of life and our perception of reality, you will find the author's ideas interesting and thought provoking. I recommend this book to anybody who sometimes ponders over these matters and I am looking forward to the release of the next installment in this series.
Subversion at Q-Prime (Alter) OverviewThe first instalment of an epic adventure trilogy, built on a sound scientific canvas, with the focus on the interaction between multitude of characters, from various classes, directly relating to the subversion of Q-Prime. This state of the art Prime computer is housed within a quantum energy field that contains an Artificial Intelligence called The Q. These quantum computers are used for a variety of purposes but only Q-Prime is the main Earth's communal computer housing some 28 billion human souls that are either logged in permanently or venture in on a regular basis. Quantum technologies of unimaginable complexity have evolved the once humble Avatar driven Virtual Worlds into workshops of Quantum Mechanics. While the body hibernates, requiring minimal maintenance on a planet where everything is in short supply, its soul can enjoy the perfect sanctuary within the quantum field.

A Mighty Fortress (Safehold) ReviewI'm a huge fan of Weber's previous work and found the Safehold series extremely compelling. And what's not to like? A lost human colony with 19th century technology is slowly being manipulated back towards modernity by an android with a love for constitutional democracy and a secret stash of gravtanks. But as so many other readers have noted, Weber offers us detail at the cost of action.
And by action, I don't just mean titanic battles or desperate sword fights. I'm about 200 pages into the book and nobody is really doing much of anything. It's not exaggerating to say the book has mostly consisted of chapter after chapter of meeting minutes.
I will certainly finish the latest installment to the Safehold series, since the story is still fundamentally sound and Weber can still take it (and us) in interesting directions. Having said that, A Mighty Fortress feels like something the author wrote as an assignment for his fans, rather than a work intended to entertain them.

Fragile and Distant Suns: A Poul Anderson Collection ReviewI wouldn't even be writing this review if it hadn't been for Amazon's claim that this edition "has been beautifully formatted". Truth be told, this edition is very poorly formatted and is shoddy. Illustrations that were in the original text have been replaced with the word [Illustration], there are incorrect words used that are clearly due to text recognition errors. This is the kind of thing I expect to see from a work that has been scanned and OCR'd for free, not something I pay for at Amazon.Fragile and Distant Suns: A Poul Anderson Collection OverviewNOTE: This edition has a linked "Table of Contents" and has been beautifully formatted (searchable and interlinked) to work on your Amazon e-book reader, Amazon Desktop Reader, and your ipod e-book reader. A collection of science fiction stories written by acclaimed author Poul Anderson.Poul Anderson is best known for sci-fi adventure stories in which larger-than-life characters succeed gleefully or fail heroically. Anderson's also famous for writing 'Call Me Joe' (not included in this volume) which featured the premise of a paralyzed man whose mind is remotely controlling an alien body. This same theme also appears in James Cameron's 2009 movie "Avatar" - similar enough that some reviewers are calling for Anderson to receive some form of credit.Included in this volume:Story One: Duel on SyrtisBold and ruthless, he was famed throughout the System as a big-game hunter. From the firedrakes of Mercury to the ice-crawlers of Pluto, he'd slain them all. But his trophy-room lacked one item; and now Riordan swore he'd bag the forbidden game that roamed the red deserts ... a Martian!Story Two: SecurityIn a world where Security is all-important, nothing can ever be secure. A mountain-climbing vacation may wind up in deep Space. Or loyalty may prove to be high treason. But it has its rewards...Story Three: The Valor of Cappen VarraWe have said that there are many and strange shadows, memories surviving from dim pasts, in this fantastic universe of ours...Story Four: Industrial RevolutionEver think how deadly a thing it is if a machine has amnesia-or how easily it can be arranged'Story Five: The Sensitive ManOne man stood between a power-hungry cabal and world mastery--but a man of unusual talents...These are the original and unabridged versions of these classic science fiction treasures. A must-have for fans of classic sci-fi!

The avatar ReviewThis book displays some of the best and worst aspects of Anderson's writing. The basic story idea and many aspects of the background are very good. An imaginative use of what were then relatively new discoveries and ideas in cosmology, very clever constuction of alternative species, and a relatively interesting future history. Unfortunately, there is also a good deal of stilted prose, clumsy attempts at eroticism, and a rather strange combination of simpleminded libertarianism and new-agish pantheism. All of these defects occur in some of Anderson's other books, but not in such concentrated form. Aspects of this book were recycled from an earlier and better Anderson novel - Tau Zero.The avatar Overview
