Children Of God - Mary Doria Russell

Unfortunately, this is even worse than the first book, The Sparrow. To be avoided. Insert review of The Sparrow here, as exactly the same applies :-

A bad book by a mundane religiously focused writer trying to be a science fiction writer, and failing, in general. Obvious, tedious, and worse than mediocre. This sort of thing has been handled many times before to considerably better effect. The religious preaching is so overt it causes you to grit your teeth and groan.

http://www.asimovs.com/_issue_0506/aprincessofearth.shtml


When you come across a guy like this :

'"So why do you think you’re John Carter?" I asked him.

"Because I am."

"Why not Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon–or the Scarlet Pimpernel for that matter?"

"Why aren’t you Doc Savage or the Shadow?" he replied. "Or James Bond for that matter?"

"I never claimed to be a fictional character," I said.

"Neither did I. I am John Carter, formerly of Virginia, and I am trying to return to my princess."

"Stark naked in a blizzard?"

"My clothes do not survive the transition, and I am not responsible for the weather," he said. '

You might think he is nuts. Later events leave you doubts.

Ivory is a book about a pair of large elephant tasks, and through them, a look at what has happened to the people, environment, and civilisations that have surrounded them.

Taken from a very large species of elephant a man is tasked to procure them. This lends itself into delving into their history, given they come from 20000 years in the past.

3 out of 5

Gravity's Rainbow - Thomas Pynchon

A dense book, with the writer throwing a lot of stuff in. Presumably meant to be a literary fancy pants type of thing, but to me, that just made it incredibly dull and a slog to get anywhere near through much of it.

Definitely not entertaining in the way Robert Anton Wilson is, for example.

Fossil Games - Tom Purdom

Even for poor man's posthuman asteroid ship bailout, politics is problematic.


4 out of 5

The Extremes - Christopher Priest

A somewhat underwhelming and slow novel. A female agent is taking a break for her job, mostly for psychological reasons, after her husband has been killed in an operation goes wrong.

She goes to a town in England where a crazed gunman ran wild, and starts exploring virtual reality situations through sophisticated and probably illegal software that replicates violent situations and training.

Somewhat pointless end, too.

Lucifer's Hammer - Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle

Meteors, asteroids, what else can you hit the earth with and write a book about it? How about a comet? Yep, that is what has been done here. Apart from sounding cooler, you get the usual nastiness and struggles as those alive in the aftermath have to deal with trying to stay alive.

New power structures, violence and eating take up a lot of the time.


3 out of 5

Footfall - Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle

Aliens invade earth. They are warlike, elephantine looking creatures with their own strange hierarchy of dominance and submission.

They take captives for study, and some of these ordinary people are able to learn enough about what goes on to help humanity turn the tables.

This is after a lot of fighting, death, and the nuking of the odd United State.

The Mote In God's Eye - Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle

Humans discover the Moties, a very different race of aliens. Neither side is particularly honest with the other, and they are both quite martial.

The Moties prove to be rather a handful, being genius savant types with technology, and gremlin or tribble like as far as being annoying goes.

Interdiction seems the only option.

Jem - Frederik Pohl

A dark satire, I suppose you would call this. This shows what happens when humans go to an alien world, that has three races that exist in different ecological niches, basically. They aren't huge fans of each other, but mostly get along.

Humans bring their warlike, country fighting and spying ways along, and teach the natives. People ain't nice.

Last Enemy - H. Beam Piper

http://www.gutenberg.org/files/18800/18800.txt

Dalla Hadron has been doing a little bit more scientific meddling than she should. As such, she has blown a fair holes in a certain society's theory of Statistical Reincarnation. i.e. that it all balances out in the end.

Given that this culture has a Society of Assassins as part of normal business practices she has a few problems.

Luckily Verkon Vall comes back, and is pretty handy with the old weapons himself.

Politics and action, quite entertaining.

Animal Farm - George Orwell

http://gutenberg.net.au/0100011.txt

Animal Farm is a dark satire, showing us what the author considers are some of the worse implications of communism and its failures, and human politics in general.

He uses a farm animal setting as the means to do this, as the various creatures set up their own class structures, leadership and indulge in repression and violence.

Not too bad. Fairly standard modern man goes to another place that is a fantasy world type story. A dashing military man of action type guy, in this case. Basically, your standard Edgar Rice Burroughs setup for this sort of thing, then a little different once he gets there.

He is lured to a house by a man who promises an interesting artifact. He certainly gets a lot more than he bargained for.

Ringworld - Larry Niven

A Puppeteer recruits a group to travel to the Ringworld, a large, artificial construct that is a very large band around a sun.

This group includes Louis Wu, a 200 year old bored junkie, your average warrior Kzin type, but for his people, he is remarkable tolerant, and a woman named Teela Brown. She is included for her presumable genetic dispensation towards luck being the result of so many winning birth lotteries.

What the Puppeteer really wants they have yet to find out.

Protector - Larry Niven

The Pak protectors have both a strange physiology and psychology. They mature from the breeder stage to the very intelligent protector stage, and develop a serious protective parental impulse to go with it.

When a protector has nothing to look after, he goes on a quest for purpose, as without one, he will literally die. Enter humans and their little solar system.

"Have you thought of this thing in relation to robbing banks? Or espionage?"
"If a gang could afford to build one of these jobs, they wouldn't need to rob banks." He ruminated. "I hate making anything this big a UN secret. But I guess you're right. The average government could afford a whole stable of the things."
"Thus combining James Bond and the Flash."

The book postulates about whether or not humanity can manage to avoid such cataclysms and the destructions of major civilisations, while also looking at the story of some local monks who work hard to try and preserve and recover knowledge to improve the situation.
