Silence is Golden:Noise is Glorious
 The Human Blend by Alan Dean Foster
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Human Blend (Tipping Point Trilogy) by Alan Dean Foster
I don't have much in my collection from Alan Dean Foster and that's all pretty ancient. So I thought I'd try this one out and see how his writing has improved. The premise is pretty good and the first chapter kept my interest; but then something happened and it might be related somehow to the fact that the author has quite a few fil

Gabriel:Zero Point (Evan Gabriel Trilogy) by Steve Umstead
Sometimes the problem with a short intro story to a trilogy; is that it's difficult to fully capture the nuances of the character that shows up in the real story. Having not read the rest of the story I can't make a judgement.
I love Trevanian and especially his Shibumi and I love Ludlum and his Jason Borne series. But these are not really the type of book I particularly go out of my way to pick up. The reason I mention them is that the story of Evan Gabriel- in this short brought them to mind. We have the focused killer who has a

Wisdom(Blue Moon Rising Trilogy) by Bonnie Watson
There was a free one to the trilogy of books. It turned out to be the second in the trilogy. So I borrowed this copy from the person who recommended it. It's a good thing too, because I'm not sure how easy it would be to follow the next one without this one. As it is this book is chock full of detail and description and the initial setup of all the world building and creatures therein. This is one of those novels where you have to keep an eye on the details and even when it looks like you have a chapter that's way out in left field it's still important to concentrate on who is doing what

A Shattered Memory by Alan Halsey. A twisting suspenseful edge of your seat thrill ride!
I picked up this book because someone gave it a bad review.
There's a bit more to it then just that but that should sound intriguing enough.
This story starts out a bit strange and I might compare it to a Philip K Dick novel-for anyone not acquainted with him he did the original book the Blade Runner movie is based on. He did a lot of novels that played on the
