I am a software engineer for a large company in the Seattle area.


I enjoy science fiction, military, space opera, and historical fiction from a wide variety of authors.

I mostly read using the Amazon Kindle software now on my phone or tablet, but I used to have a large library of books before I moved. I gave away several... more »

  • Always On: How the iPhone Unlocked the Anything-Anytime-Anywhere Future--And Locked Us In
    • Rated 3 stars

    If you have heard the author interview then you already got most of the headlines for the book. Lots of sensationalism over how iPhone is changing the world... Really it is smart phones that are changing the world, the iPhone is only one of them.

    Good fun space combat reading. The whole series has been fun, but I really enjoyed this book. I think Marvin the crazy robot is a great addition to the crew.

    Fun read. Starts with gladiator combat of the future in bloodsport matches, and then moves quickly to the main character being enrolled in the Marines. Got to love that.

    Quick pace, and just a fun read if you like military sci fi. Lots of setup for the next book as well. Looks to be a fun series.

    Great short stories to tease your imagination. There are the start of some bigger ideas here, but mostly these are just fun journies into scifi.

  • Area 51
    • Rated 4 stars

    Good tale on some modern folk tales about area 51. Not science enough for me, more of just a thriller.

    • Rated 3 stars

    Story was interesting, but just seemed to lack something for me. I liked the initial chapters a lot, and then the last couple were pretty intense. The middle just felt slow, or not as flushed out.

  • Run
    • Rated 4 stars

    Better than I expected after the first few chapters. The story took a few surprising turns that were fun. I almost expected to see the Matrix was the answer, glad to see it wasn't!

  • Center of Gravity
    • Rated 4 stars

    Good read with characters you can believe in and root for their causes. The storyline is pretty predictable at times, but it is the journey along that story that makes it worth reading.

    I don't like the publishers stance on ebook pricing. You can get this book for 1/2 the ebook price as a paperback!
