The Wind Through the Keyhole can be considered a stand-alone novel/story in the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I believe this was published after the series ended and as a person who likes to read a series chronologically, it was the next in line. I admit that I have forsaken the Dark Tower series…

Sub-Human by David Simpson is the first book in the Post-Human series. It is actually the prequel and although the author mentions that it is not a requirement to read this book prior to Post-Human, it will help those get a better understanding of the technology and terminology that will be used in the series.…

Old Man’s War by John Scalzi is the first in this military sci-fi series. It’s surprisingly good and you don’t have to a be sci-fi junkie to get the most of it! The theme of the series is pretty interesting and that’s what got me to pick it up. It’s not everyday that you get…

Endymion by Dan Simmons is the third book in the Hyperion Cantos series. To say that I am disappointed in this book is a huge understatement. In fact, it saddens me to say that I have to put this book in my “did not finish” category as I absolutely loved the first two books of…
