Accidentally left behind on the first manned mission to Mars, astronaut Mark Watney finds himself marooned on a harsh and unforgiving planet. He’ll have to rely on his training, wits, and the few resources he has at hand–mostly scientific experiments–to try to make contact with Earth and get back home before the planet can finish him off.

A Guilty Pleasure Coming-of-Age Story with Hidden Depths

Clan of the Cave Bear, by Jean M. Auel

$2.99 Kindle Sale! ($8.99)

This was a total guilty pleasure for me when I first read it. (And not just this book, but the whole series.) I hadn’t thought of it in ages, but then I discovered that it’s on sale. So today, you get a review and a sale. Not too shabby.

At its heart, Clan of the Cave Bear is an ugly duckling story, set in a time when the precursors of modern humanity still lived alongside a competitive species. A little girl, Ayla, is orphaned and raised by the others, who are at once eerily similar and yet so very different. Most of them do not fully accept her–because she is not Clan. And so she learns not to accept herself.

Profoundly Satisfying Entertainment

Posted on March 24, 2018August 9, 2018 by Dragon Authors

I grew up reading science fiction. Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, L. Ron Hubbard, Orson Scott Card, Michael Crichton… In fact, I read every science fiction book I could find in our small-town library. Literally every single one until they ran out. Sadly, life went on…

I grew up, finished college, got a job, read other things. It was only recently that I returned to the genre with this novel: Seed, by Michael Edelson.

I could not have chosen a better title to come home to. Continue reading “Profoundly Satisfying Entertainment” →
