In a word? Fascinating!

Stamper does a tremendous job making clear the mysterious (and complicated) world of lexicography. With humor she makes sure you'll never take a dictionary for granted again!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Complicated, interesting and mysterious!

Mack weaves a complicated story,weaving back and forth in time to introduce the Caeliar, what I think are going to be the anti-borg.

Arabella of Mars by David D. Levine

Arabella of Mars by David D. Levine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow!
This is really hard to describe - sword and planet, regency, steampunk, alt-history.... where to begin.

It's a remarkable concoction, with wooden spaceships plying the solar system - battles in space, fighting over inheritance, clockwork computers.... worth reading! Amazing.
