Severance Package by Duane Swierczynski by Chadwick Ginther - Sunday, Mar 30, 2008 at 10:26am

The writing in Duane Swierczynski's latest novel will hit you like a freight train. There is power there, speed, and a fluid economy of words. But underlying it all is the sensation of being transported back in time to the heyday of crime fiction, when men were Marlowe, and dames were deadly.

Iterations and Identity Theft by Chadwick Ginther - Sunday, Apr 27, 2008 at 3:16pm

A Double Shot of Short Fiction

Robert J. Sawyer is best known for his award-winning hard sci-fi novels, and rightly so. Sawyer has won every major prize in the field for his long-form work. However, his short fiction chops should not be ignored. Both Iterations and Other Stories and the just-released Identity Theft and Other Stories bring together a career-spanning collection of stellar short stories.

The Wolfman by Nicholas Pekearo by Chadwick Ginther - Wednesday, Apr 02, 2008 at 4:46pm

Marlowe Higgins is a werewolf. But not the kind of werewolf that has been popularized in recent urban fantasy and pop horror novels. Marlowe can't control his transformation, nor can he control the beast that lives within him. He knows that once a month, whether he wants to or not, someone will die.
