Ahem. I had previously said that Dennis E. Taylor's <i>Bobiverse</i> series was one of the best modern SF universes to be put on page. And I still think that's probably true. But <i>The Expanse</i> really tests my resolve. Even if only by sheer volume and brute force, these novels really throw you for a loop and in my opinion, truly worthy of the title of Game of Thrones in space.

Written as a modern tribute to the pulp horror paperbacks of the 80's, it doesn't manage to live up to the best of its inspirations. There are very few genuinely frightening moments and the story at times seems more than a little silly. Still, it was largely engaging; and there is a serious lack of this type of book being made anymore. Enjoyable enough for fans of the genre to check out.

This Middle Grade trilogy comes to an end as modern day teen Greg Rich must figure out a way to save seventeenth century France and find the stone that will take his family home. Fasted paced action made it hard to put down, and I loved every second of the race to the end.

A fictional biography of Mark and his relationship with Peter. Unfortunately, it reads more like a biography of Peter, and much of Mark's life is whitewashed. Furthermore, the characters going from modern English to New King James to quote scripture (much less how much scripture is quoted) makes this novel laughable.

Thoroughly enjoyable
I wouldn't put my neck on the line and say this book was unputdownable but I really looked forward to reading a few chapters every night. It alternates between an historical and a modern setting that become intertwined. I particularly enjoyed the characters from the past and preferred those parts of the book, there was more action and the description of that time was so vivid you really got a sense of it.
