 Author: Kate ForsythDragonclaw is book one in “The Witches of Eileanan” series of six books by Australian author Kate Forsyth. There is also a later series called “Rhiannon's Ride” set in Eileanan, of which the third one is due out in the middle of 2006. Dragonclaw was first published in 1997. I enjoyed Dragonclaw, but I’m not sure I’ll be putting in the time to read the rest of the series. While the world was an enjoyable fantasy creation and I was interested in what was happening with the characters, I did find the characters and plot a little formulaic.

 Author: James PattersonFrannie O'Neil, a young and talented veterinarian whose husband was recently murdered, comes across a discovery in the woods near her animal hospital. Soon after, Kit Harrison, an FBI agent, arrives on Frannie's doorstep. And then there is eleven-year-old Max.
This novel technically comes under the SF/F heading, but it reads more like a fast-paced action-adventure novel of the type you'd buy in an airport as a last resort if there was little else available.

 Author: Todd McCaffrey
This is the first Pern novel completely written by someone other than Anne McCaffrey. But it's still in the family - written by her son Todd, who previously co-authored "Dragon's Kin". It captures the feel of Pern extremely well, and most of the time you wouldn't know that it wasn't written by the original author of the series.

 Author: Robert Charles WilsonThis is a real page turner - once started it is hard to put this book down. Science Fiction abounds with bug-eyed monsters who may look weird but who are really only ourselves in disguise. They have all our foibles and faults, they want power, riches and possessions. Good Science Fiction writers challenge these stereotypes by creating aliens who really are alien. They create a real sense of "The Other". |
