  • 12 January 2010 - Varley was competent but subpar with Rolling Thunder. Ringo and Taylor entertained royally with Manxome Foe and Claws that Catch. Shepherd continued the Kris Longknife series with Kris Longknife: Undaunted. Huff showed her strength with Valor's Trial. Finally, Michaels & Brenton hit it out of the park with Red Moon. One of the best books I have ever read.
  • 3 December 2009 - Steele's "Galaxy Blues" was ho-hum. Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land" lived up to the hype. Ringo & Taylor's "Vorpal Blade" was a fun romp. Finally Taylor's "The Tau Ceti Agenda" was all action with little substance.
  • 27 September 2009 - Niven & Lerner's "Juggler of Worlds" was disappointing, Buckell's debut "Crystal Rain" was even more disappointing. John Varley saved the day with his collection "The John Varley Reader".

  •  12 November 2007 - The Big Picture, mainstream fiction from Douglas Kennedy.

  • 5 November 2007 - Stirling is in good form with The Sky People.

  • 31 October 2007 - I continued with the Hornblower Series. "Ship of the Line" and "Flying Colours" are probably the best so far.

  • 18 October 2007 - Due to our move to Hong Kong, there have been no updates for a while. But I have kept reading. So here are a bunch of reviews: Sun of Suns, which I didn't finish; Red Lightning was excellent and now in the books picks; Old Man's War was thoroughly enjoyable; A Meeting at Corvallis concludes the wonderful Dies the Fire series; Resurrection was forgettable at best; Princess of Wands was entertaining but flawed; The Prometheus Project was a great idea that fell flat.

  • 6 September 2007 - Continuing the Hornblower Series with "Hornblower and the 'Hotspur'", "Hornblower During the Crisis", "Hornblower and the 'Atropos'" and "Beat to Quarters".

  • 20 August 2007  - Continuing the Hornblower Series with "Mr. Midshipman Hornblower". Also various graphic novels by Warren Ellis.

  • 12 August 2007  - I have started on the Hornblower Series with "Lieutenant Hornblower". Also, Cally's War takes a rather different approach to the Legacy of the Aldenata series.

  • 29 June 2007 - Michael Crichton muddles through "State of Fear" while Ringo and Kratman give us a controversial perspective on the Posleen in "Watch on the Rhine".

  • 13 June 2007 - John Ringo's Ghost Series is back with "Kildar". More mayhem, but a very different direction,

  • 8 March 2007 - Eric Flint rewrites the War of 1812 in "1812 - The Rivers of War"

  • 15 February 2007 - I gave up on "A Talent for War". Booooring.

  • 28 January 2007 - It's been a while since the last update. To compensate for that, here are three reviews. The solid "The Protector's War", the lightweight "End in Fire" and the splendid "Mammoth".

  • 8 December 2006 - Special forces action and erotica in Ghost. Reviewed here.

  • 29 November 2006 - Varley outdoes himself in Steel Beach. Wonderfully insightful. Reviewed here.

  • 14 October 2006 - We Few, the fourth (and last?) book in the March Upcountry series is reviewed here.

  • 1 October 2006 - The Lost Fleet - Dauntless is a fun and light military SciFi story.

  • 11 September 2006 - Penny Arcade book 2, Epic Legends of the Magic Sword Kings.

  • 3 September 2006 - A very short biography of the prophet Muhammad is reviewed here. The first Penny Arcade collection here.

  • 25 August 2006 - Polished off book 3 of Ringo's "The Council Wars: "Against the Tide".

  • 8 August 2006 - Finally finished Hamilton's "The Commonwealth Saga". One of the best stories ever!

  • 30 June 2006 -  Not so much a review as one more listing in the Man-Xzin Wars series.

  • 17 May 2006 -  McDevitt's "The Engines of God" was frustratingly close to greatness,

  • 1 May 2006 - Crichton's "The Andromeda Strain" has aged very badly, but was still midly enjoyable.

  • 27 April 2006 - Varley's "The Persistence of Vision", a short story collection.

  • 23 March 2006 - Varley's "Millennium" was a neat and fun novel about time travel, temporal paradoxes and extinction.

  • 15 March 2006 - Slogged through "In Conquest Born", which despite the effort involved was actually worth it.

  • 24 February 2006 - Finally finished the magnificent "V for Vendetta", a different, magnificent and thought provoking graphic novel.

  • 29 January 2006 - John Ringo continues the Council Wars with "Emerald Sea".

  • 20 January 2006 - Richard Morgan wraps up the adventures of Takeshi Kovacs in his usual violent fashion with "Woken Furies".

  • 5 December 2005 -  Larry Niven and Brenda Cooper blew my mind with "Building Harlequin's Moon". A masterpiece.

  • 15 November 2005 -  David Weber is finally back in good for with "At All Costs" (HH XI)

  • 7 October 2005 -  S.M. Stirling starts off a new trilogy in great style with "Dies the Fire".

  • 27 September -  So it is a classic, but I still found Burroughs' "A Princess of Mars" somewhat underwhelming.
  • 23 September -  Tom Kratman writes about a second American Revolution in "A State of Disobedience". Even if you don't agree with the politics, it makes for good military SciFi.
  • 20 September -  Jerry Oltion tells a story about the invention of an ultra-cheap hyperdrive in "The Getaway Special".

  • 16 September -  I raced through "Time's Eye" by Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter. Great reading.

  • 13 September -  "Coyote Rising" by Allen Steele is the sequel to the episodic "Coyote". Short stories cobbled into a novel, but eminently readable for all that.

  • 7 September -  "Train to Pakistan" is a snapshot of life during the division of India and Pakistan in 1947. Very different from what I usually read.

  • 5 September -  "Calculating God" raised many interesting questions.

  • 28 August 2005 -  "1634: The Galileo Affair" is an entertaining continuation to the 1632 Series.

  • 23 August 2005 -  "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" was just as enjoyable as the previous four in the series.

  • 24 July 2005 -  "Xenocide", the second sequel to "Ender's Game", sneaks into the Book Picks.

  • 15 July 2005 -  "Ringworld's Children", the latest Ringworld Novel, was an enjoyable little idea piece, but not much more.

  • 24 June 2005 -  Finally tried Steakley's "Armor". Yawn...

  • 10 June 2005 -  Orson Scott Card's "Speaker for the Dead" brings back Ender Wiggin from "Ender's Game". He is older and wiser, but equally fascinating. So is the story. One for the Books PIcks.

  • 20 May 2005 -  Williamson's "Freehold" is sure to shock in some ways, with it's violence, sex and radical political ideas. It's interesting social commentary but most of all a fast paced and very engaging adventure novel.

  • 14 May 2005 -  Weber and Flint could have done a better job of "Crown of Slaves", set in the Honorverse.

  • 22 April 2005 -  Light Military SciFi in "Alternate Generals"

  • 16 April 2005 -  Flint shows signs of his future greatness in "Mother of Demons" and Clarke bores me in "The Songs of Distant Earth".

  • 2 April 2005 -  The classic "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card jumps straight into the Book Picks. Amazingly good. "The Golden Globe" by John Varley was an well-written and interesting romp through the Solar system.

  • 19 March 2005 - "Singularity Sky" by Charles Stross showcases many fascinating ideas while not losing sight of the human dimension. Great stuff.

  • 2 March 2005 - Hard SciFi with a strong psychological/existential trait, "Star Dragon" is a tightly knit first novel from Mike Brotherton.

  • 17 February 2005 - Thought provoking seventies SciFi in Varley's "The Ophiuchi Hotline".

  • 9 February 2005 - I enjoyed John Varley's "Red Thunder" and laughed at the in jokes in the Eric Flint edited "The Grantville Gazette".

  • 29 January 2005 - Arthur C. Clarke and Michael Kube McDowell talk gun control in "The Trigger". A great read.

  • 31 December 2004 - Ringo is back with "There will be Dragons", a fun take on a fallen utopia.

  • 22 December 2004 - "Marooned in Realtime" continues the story of the bobbles from "The Peace War" and brings it into a far future where man has all but dissapeared. This marvelous book details the struggle of mankind's remnants as they struggle with the meaning of existence.

  • 16 December 2004 - I struggled through Turtledove's "In the Presence of Mine Enemies" and was dissapointed to find out the action never actually starts.

  • 11 December 2004 - "The Peace War", an excellent early novel by Vernor Vinge, is reviewed here.

  • 5 December 2004 - Vacation is great for finishing books. Clarke's "The Fountains of Paradise" was great, while Donaldson's "The Real Story" was, errr, not so great, but at least mercifully short.

  • 21 November 2004 - "The Shadow of Saganami" is the first book in the "Saganami Island" series, a new Honorverse offering. Great for Honor fans, less great for anyone else.

  • 21 November 2004 - "Quicksilver" by Neal Stephenson. I started this book over a year ago, (slowly) read 241 pages, then gave up. It's a great shame that Stephenson, one of my favorite authors, has become so deathly dull.

  • 1 November 2004 - "The Digital Dead" was a rather boring book that made a hash of some very cool ideas.

  • 10 October 2004 - "Jennifer Government", an entertaining satire on globalization, is reviewed here.

  • 24 September 2004 - "The Terminal Man", an early Michael Crichton, is reviewed here.

  • 16 September 2004 - "Hell's Faire" by John Ringo concludes the "The Legacy of the Aldenata" series.

  • 13 September 2004 - "When the Devil Dances" by John Ringo propels "The Legacy of the Aldenata" series back into the Book Picks.

  • 10 September 2004 - "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown, sequel to "Angels and Demons" also made it to the Book Picks here.

  • 5 September 2004 - "Air Disasters Volume 2", non-fiction by Macarthur Job, is reviewed here.

  • 27 August 2004 - "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown, a great thriller, is reviewed here.

  • 23 August 2004 - "Scatterbrain", a new Larry Niven Anthology/scrapbook, is reviewed here.

  • 17 August 2004 - "The Articulate Executive", and extremely good text on public speaking which I recommend to all those who work in a corporate environment, is reviewed here.

  • 10 August 2004 - "March to the Stars", part three in the "March Upcountry" series, is reviewed here. Turns out this isn't the last book in the series, but that's just as well. I want more!

  • 30 July 2004 - "Wild Blue", a non-fiction book about bomber crews over Europe in WWII, is reviewed here.

  • 23 July 2004 - Finished "The Tyrant", Book 8 of "The General" series. This one was written by Flint, so more humor but still the same great concept. Actually I found it superior to "The Reformer" but you really have to start at the beginning anyway.

  • 8 July 2004 - Entertaining alternate history from Stirling in "Conquistador". I also finally gave up on Greg Bear's "Darwin's Radio". Just too boring.

  • 17 June 2004 - Flynn is back with the majestic "The Wreck of The River of Stars", a ponderous but fascinating and deeply moving treatment of the crew of a doomed vessel. Goes in the Book Picks here here.

  • 2 May 2004 - Strap yourselves in. Richard Morgan is back with a vengeance. "Market Forces" races straight into the Book Picks here.

  • 22 April 2004 - Peter F. Hamilton's "Pandora's Star", the first in a two book series, is an epic space opera. Well worth the read. Hamilton is as usual one of the best. Review here.

  • 13 March 2004 - Allen Steele's "Coyote", a novel of interstellar exploration. A decent read but could have been much better. Review here.

  • 06 March 2004 - Tom Wolfe's Classic "The Bonfire of the Vanities". I enjoyed this novel immensely and it deservedly takes it's place in the Book Picks here.

  • 18 February 2004 - Crichton's "Prey" here.

  • 10 February 2004 - Finished "Fast Food Nation", fascinating reading here.

  • 28 January 2004 - I reread Stephen Baxter's "Voyage". I had forgotten just how magnificent that novel is, and have moved it to the Book Picks here.

  • 7 January 2004 - "March to the Sea" by David Weber and John Ringo. Plain good old military SciFi. Reviewed here.

  • 17 December 2003 - Finished the Belisarius series, good military Historical/SciFi novels in good Baen Books tradition. Reviewed here.

  • 5 September 2003 - "Interface" here - A

  • 26 August 2003 - "The Teeth of The Tiger" here - A

  • 14 August 2003 - "The Rock Rats"  here and "The Stand" here. Well, they don't really qualify as reviews since I didn't even finish the novels. I just got soo bored with both of them - A

  • 12 August 2003 - "1633" (yes, really) here - A

  • 11 August 2003 - "1632" here - A

  • 30 July 2003 - "Janissaries", an old SF classic here - A

  • 20 July 2003 - "Stupid White Men", a very funny but rather disturbing book about the United States of America, here - A

  • 18 July 2003 - "Pattern Recognition" here. A truly magnificent novel -  A

  • 05 Mar 2003 - The review of "Congo" here - A

  • 26 Feb 2003 - Master of Orion 3 - I decided to take this much anticipaded strategy game out for a spin. Big mistake... It was just plain boring. I'm not against micromanagement, long games or even high complexity. It's just that I feel no empathy for my subjects and no particular connection between my actions and the empire's development - A

  • 22 Feb 2002 - The new Alastair Reynolds is short. Just 220 pages, consisting of two novellas. Despite it still being excellent Reynolds doom and gloom, a bit more of it would have been nice. Read more here - A

  • 13 November 2003 - I have finally faced facts and realized that I will have to get rid of some books. They are taking over the living room! I will keep those that I am most likely to read again, and sell the rest at some book market. Sounds simple doesn't it? Well, I have made it complicated by deciding to post short reviews for all of them. The pace is a rather leisurely five to ten per day, starting with the letter "a" by author name. On the off chance that anyone actually wants to read my reviews, you can find them here: Book Reviews Home - A

  • 7 April 2003 - Rosboch.net has moved to a new server. Hippo is made of much newer components than old Popeye, and sits on a much fatter line. So if it was fast before, it blazes now! Thanks to Jed for all the hard work he puts into hosting - A

  • 5 April 2003 - Joined Scandinavian Virtual Airlines as a "Trainee".  For the uninitiated, this means I fly for "SAS" in Microsoft Flight Simulator and rack up hours on SAS routes, which then upgrades me to senior pilot, other aircraft and so on. This may sound silly but since I spend so much time in FlightSim anyway I figured I might as well do something semiconstructive - A
