"Mutineer (Kris Longknife #1)" by Mike ShepherdRating: ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣
What an excellent book! Exactly what I was looking for in a sci-fi story: the perfect mix of space exploration, military action and political intrigue. Amazing characters and perfectly written women. Yes, Kris' wealth sometimes worked as a sort of "deus ex machina" way out but that's the only gripe I have. Everything else was top notch good! Can't wait to read the next book in the series. If you like Jack Campbell's "The Lost Fleet", you will like this one too.
Doctor Who 109-110
Aug. 1st, 2013 11:09 pmThese two episodes were AWESOME! The introduction of Cpt. Jack Harkness. So, I was curious who wrote them. STEVEN MOFFAT! Of course it was him! I liked The Unquiet Dead (written by Mark Gatiss!) and Dalek before. But The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances? I LOVED THOSE TWO! I want to see them more than once! The scary parts were really, really scary. And the banter between Jack and the Doctor was hilarious - when they argued about their sonic weapons! LOL. That was so, so cool. And I just loved that Jack flirted with everything in sight, much to the Doctor's amusement!
And now I want to see Torchwood again. I've seen only the first 2 seasons so far. I know that S3 and S4 really divided the fandom but... I think I might get the complete series box set from Amazon UK. They offer it for Ł30 or so...
