The Dark Continent is an Enjoyable, if Unmemorable Entry in the Ubermensch Sub-genre
I picked The Dark Continent up as a comfort read. An apocalyptic novel in an apocalypse is a funny kind of comfort read, maybe, but that isn’t why I picked it up. I didn’t pick it up because it is … Continue reading
Zero Day Brings the Spiderpocalypse to a Satisfying, Terrifying Close
Now complete with book 3, Zero Day, holy shit Ezekiel Boone’s The Hatching series is good. Boone absolutely fulfills the promise from the first book in the trilogy, The Hatching. The Spiderpocalypse reaches its endgame and the fate of humanity … Continue reading

Review of The Hatching by Ezekiel Boone
I recently posted reviews of The Stand by Stephen King and World War Z by Max Brooks. The first was serendipitous, the second was not, because I read The Hatching but wasn’t ready to get a review up yet. Ezekiel … Continue reading
Review of World War Z by Max Brooks
I just finished reading the excellent The Hatching (out today) yesterday. I hope to have a review up soon. But really, don’t wait. The Hatching is phenomenal and you should buy it today. It reminds me of, but is superior … Continue reading
Review of The Stand by Stephen King
The Stand is Stephen King’s classic post-apocalyptic (but perhaps not deserving of the label ‘dystopian’) tale with strong supernatural elements. Humanity is decimated by the accidental release of a United States government-created superflu when a military police officer (Charles Campion) … Continue reading

Review of CTRL ALT Revolt! by Nick Cole
I published a post on the controversy surrounding CTRL ALT Revolt! on Monday. I covered a lot of why I loved CTRL ALT Revolt! in that post so I won’t belabor the points here. But there was a lot I … Continue reading
