Renegade

Fantastic space opera story.  Great characters, non-stop action, intrigue, mystery.  I could not put it down.  5/5 stars.

Planetary Assault

Three fun novellas with wild combat action and space opera settings in B. V. Larson's universe.  Fast-paced, one-dimensional heroes being heroic under heroic circumstances.  Go, space marines! 4/5 stars.

Ancillary Justice

I read this one on the planes to/from San Francisco.  It is surprisingly boring for space opera, not recommended, 1/5 stars.

The Year's Top Short SF 2015

Not as good as previous years.  Some of the selections were not good.  2/5 stars. 

Killing Patton

Fantastic book, thrilling and interesting.  Great conspiracy theories.  Eye-opening facts and events behind the surface history we all know.  5/5 stars.

Hateful 8

Not as good as other Tarantino movies, very boring, slow beginning.  Meh, 2/5 stars.  See a better film instead. 

ZDF Weltmacht Google

Very interesting cautionary expose of the evil search giant (ESG) raising some weak arguments about Google's real economic, political, and social power over the Western world.  4/5 stars.

Irrational Man

Fun.  Great sound track.  Woody Allen formulaic dialog, rhythm, and delivery.  3/5 stars.

Bone Tomahawk

Extremely gruesome, 2/5 stars.

The Bazaar of Bad Dreams

A little disappointing but worthwhile for the gems and writing styles.  Many of the introductions read like a creative writing course text, which I enjoyed.  Most of the stories are bland and unengaging.  3/5 stars.
