Koontz heh?  I just finished his Tick Tick......pretty good, alittle contrived. Do you have any reccommendation that would give me a true feel of his best stuff?  At the moment I'm going back over Asimov's Foundation books......and then I'll do his robot series again.......love that stuff........Bud

Bigbud:

I'm partial to some of his "mid-career" stuff....I enjoyed "Lightening", "Watchers", and the "Odd Thomas" series.  Haven't read his "Frankenstein" series, so can't help you there....

Inkfink, does that book say who did the cover? Very nice, pulp feel to it.

I (snrk!) love the name of the hero:

Lobster Johnson  . . .

Isn't there a cream for that? ::)



Just started Dreadnought by Cherie Priest.  A Steampunk Civil War adventure.

I just got that "Haunted" book that Doc suggested I read.  I'm only a few pages into it, but so far-so good!  :)

Yeah, that is a great cover! That would be Greg Manchess and you could own it... if you can afford it:

As for the story, it's the Depression era and  Lobster Johnson and his team battle gangsters and demon creatures. Great read so far!

Wow, didn't realize it was him! *Love* his stuff. I have a Conan book he did the illos for, and a National Geographic with his work in it.
