Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Wild Cards II Aces High edited by George R. R. Martin




The Wild Card series is difficult to review.  I always have trouble with short story collections.  The intent here is to tie the short stories together into a unified whole.  Overall they did that well.  Several of the stories stopped abruptly but the ball was merely juked around and not dropped.  

The series is good.  I find the genetic manipulation by the Takisian virus reasonably plausible which add to the believability of the stories.  The different styles of the different authors provided a some what disjointed read but not so much that you lost interest in the overall plot of the Swarm danger. 

I enjoyed the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
