Wake by Robert J. Sawyer by Chadwick Ginther - Wednesday, Mar 04, 2009 at 9:49pm

When I am asked what my favourite science fiction novel is, invariably the answer is: "The last one by Robert Sawyer". With the publication of Wake, the first in Sawyer's WWW trilogy about the rising of consciousness from within the World Wide Web, Rollback must sadly make way for the new title holder.

Fool by Christopher Moore by Chadwick Ginther - Sunday, Jan 18, 2009 at 5:05pm

Despite being forced to study it in high school, King Lear remains my favourite of William Shakespeare's tragedies. Normally, I would be quite hesitant to read a black comedy satirizing the play, but not when it is being penned by madman Christopher Moore.

Stephen Legault's Cole Blackwater: An Amateur Detective to be Reckoned With by Nicole Berard - Tuesday, Jan 27, 2009 at 3:28pm

The Cardinal Divide has everything a mystery lover could want: a bloody murder, a host of suspects each with a different motive, a fast paced plot, and a likable, if not completely perfect, detective. Cole Blackwater, freelance environmental consultant, is not your average amateur detective, but he's not afraid to put his own body on the line to solve the murder that?s put his only paying client's cause in jeopardy.

Filaria by Brent Hayward by Chadwick Ginther - Sunday, Nov 23, 2008 at 5:16pm

A drug-addled boy pines for his ex; a man deserts his post as a lift operator on his 100th birthday; a girl is exiled by her father and learns more about her ancestors than she bargained for; and a fisherman searches for the god of all gods to demand why his wife is wasting away. In Brent Hayward's Filaria, each of these four characters sets out from the relative comforts of their lives into a "crumbling world".
