Northworld Trilogy | David Drake

Mehso-so

(1990-1992) This is an omnibus edition of Drake's three "Northworld" books, which retell myths from the Eddas relocated to a science-fiction multi-dimensional bubble universe. It's okay, pretty much what you expect from Drake: solid plotting, detailed battle scenes, and cool military tech. But it's also excessively male-gazey: women characters are typically described by their level of attractiveness, body weight, and bust size.

🎧 Yeah, well? I enjoyed it!! Fun fast easy read. I can see it be a tv show or movie. I enjoyed the MC‘s Daniel & Tina! I love the old timey monsters. Ezma the armorist reminded me of Q (from 007). Great palate cleanser.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️2/3

RamsFan1963 I just ordered this off Ebay. Simon R. Green is one of my favorite authors. 2y

Inconstant Star | Poul Anderson

102/150 Solid, old school space opera. This is two stories from the Man-Kzin Wars series, both involving the ship and crew of the Rover. I liked the action, the cat and mouse tension of the first story. The second story involved hunting for a lost Kzinti ship. The second story was ruined, for me, by the inclusion of a limp romance/infidelity by the captain.
3.75/5

swynn Man, I love Poul Anderson but he couldn't write a convincing emotional interest to save his life 2y
RamsFan1963 @swynn I hate cheating characters, and it was such a case of instant love, unrealistic that the captain would throw away his marriage and his ship (which his wife was half owner of) for someone he just met. 2y

When is a fantasy not a fantasy? This book is labeled a fantasy but it's not. No magic or magic users, no mystical creatures, no dragons, elves, dwarves or orcs. If it hadn't taken place in a fictional land, it could have been sold as straight up historical fiction. That said, it's still a great read, full of well rounded characters, thrilling chases, daring escapes and epic battle scenes 4 🛡🛡🛡🛡

So I had to be at the main library branch all day today which is normally 😝 But today it was great because I got to start weeding the adult fantasy/sci-fi collection! 😃 It was way overdue! I found SO MANY older books with ridiculously bad titles or covers, and I wanted to share this one with you because I think it wins at being the worst one I came across - the cover AND title are awful! 🤣😂 #librariansoflitsy

MeganAnn Omg 🤣 This really is awful! The description of the book makes it even worse. 🤣🤣🤣 3y
RamsFan1963 Lol Geeeze I remember reading this book years ago when I worked for Waldenbooks. It's as bad as the title suggests. 3y
DaveGreen7777 It looks so bad, I kinda want to read it now! 😂🤣 3y

Branwen @MeganAnn Right?! Like, who decided ANY of that looked/sounded good?! 🤣😂 @RamsFan1963 To be honest I'm impressed you got through the whole thing! 🤣 @DaveGreen7777 OMG! 🤣😂👏 3y
RamsFan1963 @Branwen I chose to read it instead of Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone. I believe it was a slight error 🤣🤣🤣🤣 3y
MeganAnn @RamsFan1963 I‘m also impressed by your reading skills of awful books! 🤣👏🏻 @DaveGreen7777 is it bad that I kind of want someone to hate read this and post ALL the quotes?! 😳🤣 3y
vivastory “Seven rats, five bats, a galago, two humans, a sea-urchin-like alien and an elderly vineyard tractor without brakes...“ This is the beginning of the world's worst joke, or the world's best joke... 3y
DaveGreen7777 @MeganAnn 🤣🤣🤣 3y
Branwen @MeganAnn 🤣😂🤣😂👍 @vivastory I think it's somehow both at the same time! 🤔😂 3y
tokorowilliamwallace It's old, campy, strange SFF that are the fun ones! (pre-90s). I'll have to start some from my garage sale-like haul in August so I can share with the community! 3y

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.
