Segmented copter "Dragon" slithers by re-configuring itself while flying

Slick

Bordbuch Delta VII by Mark Brandis


Great story, fun space opera, awesome characters and drama, a little dated now, not so much awe and wonder.  3/5 stars.

God's Debris by Scott Adams


Bad science, poor scholarship, silly thought experiments, good writing, 1/5 stars.


Trader's World by Charles Sheffield


I didn't like this one.  The tech was bad; the AI was awful. The world was bizarre and silly.  2/5 stars.

Between the strokes of night by Charles Sheffield


Fantastic! 5/5 stars!  Interesting plot turns and great awe, wonder space alien mystery.  Timeless, background tech a la Asimov.

One Way by S J Morden


Quite good, 4/5 stars.  The murder mystery  was a little too-easy to solve early but the suspense and climax were fantastic.

The Fourth Age by Byron Reese


I was a little disappointed by this one but it is still worthwhile, 3/5 stars.

My Brother's Keeper by Charles Sheffield


I am going through the Sheffield books I missed when they came out.  Despite its age, this one is still not bad, 3/5 stars.

Autonomous by Annalee Newitz

Pretty good, but way too much romance and sex, 3/5 stars.
