Books I've Read

Charlie FINALLY has the answer to, and resolves, you-know-what, in this, the fifth book in the series.

I didn't read Book Two yet, but in this, Book Three, Charlie STILL hasn't figured out the obvious, that it, who his father is, but he DOES help invisible Ollie find his way back normalcy, and HIS family, so all in all, a good job.

Book seven, and we are not anywhere near finished here. Charlie travels to Badlock several times. The Pet's Cafe is closed down temporarily, and the storm boy is thought to be drowned. And Charlie's parents are off sailing, somewhere.

Charlie's cousin from the past appears via a magic marble.

First in the Children Of The Red King series. Charlie is sent off to the mostly awful Bloor Academy and restores a girl who is memory is clouded. I feel like shouting, "Charlie, the quiet and confused piano teacher is probably your missing father!!!" Charlie hasn't figured it out by the end of book one, maybe he will get a clue, in book two. Hey, it rhymes!

21 short science fiction stories. Some good ones here.

Louis Wu visit a world in the shape of a...GIANT RING!!!

Third book in the Ringworld series. Ok, Ok, so I read the series before! That doesn't mean I can't read a book again!

I read this before, serialized in Galileo magazine, way back in the late 70s. Found the magazines in my garage, read it again.

Three stories that are prequels to Ringworld.

Guy keeps dying and being reborn (to the same parents) with memories intact. It was OK, but didn't really grab me. Good ending, though.

Quite a number of little stories of people (mostly men!) eliminating themselves from the gene pool.

Mutant Fors explores his post-holocaust world. I first read this in third grade. Original title "Star Man's Son".

Three stories comprise the second book of the Witch World series. Contents: Three against the Witch World -- Warlock of the Witch World -- Sorceress of the Witch World.

The space trader Solar Queen buys the rights to a new planet named Limbo. Now they are trapped... on the "Sargasso Of Space!!! Dane Thorson's first trip out of training. An Ace paperback, cover price 40 cents!! Found this and two others on a bus stop one morning!

Three stories comprise the seventh book or the Witchworld series. I was slowly entranced by the stories.

Young spacer Rafe lands and a planet and gets mixed up in a gynocidal war. Good story.

Consists of the books Star Guard (c1955) and Star Rangers (c1953). Good classic space opera!

Forerunner, #1. Shann has worked himself up from poverty to finally being assigned to a menial job on a Terran Survey party to the new planet Warlock. Almost all the Terrans in the party are killed by the alien Throg task force. The two survivors must figure out how to keep the Throg from killing the Terran colonists when they finally arrive.
