Review: “Nameless: Season One,” Dean Koontz
Rating: 4 out of 5 Dean Koontz’s Nameless: Season One is six short novelettes that do, in fact, resemble a season of a television show in structure. The first books are episodic, and then a little bit of arc plot…
Review: “Velocity,” Dean Koontz
Rating: 4 out of 5 When I read a book by Dean Koontz, I never know what I’m going to get. I’ve given books of his anywhere from a 5-out-of-5 to a 2-out-of-5. Thankfully Velocity: A Novel was a good…
Review: “Force of Nature,” Jane Harper
Rating: 5 out of 5 Sometimes I hear about authors in roundabout ways. This time, the guy from my college who was helping me with my resume saw that I reviewed genre novels and told me I should read Jane…

Short Take: “Operation Yukon,” William Meikle
Rating: 5 out of 5 William Meikle’s Operation: Yukon is the 11th book in his wonderful S-Squad series. These are fun military-versus-monsters tales with a squad of Scottish lads who get a reputation for being monster magnets. I urge you…
Review: “Faithless In Death,” J.D. Robb
Rating: 4 out of 5 Just so you know right off the bat, J.D. Robb’s (Nora Roberts) Faithless in Death (In Death, 52) is not action-packed. These books go back and forth, showcasing different styles of mystery and murder, different…
