Review: Star Trek 2 by James Blish

I have always been a big Star Trek fan. I’m old enough to have faint memories of the original series in its original run, but most of my obsession was born in the endless reruns that started soon after. I also read all the James Blish novelizations of the original Read more…

Andrea Vernon is back for one last adventure, telling her eight-year-old daughter how she and the daughter’s father (who the eight-year-old has just learned was a superhero called The Big Axe—not the man she thinks of as dad) saved the world before Andrea decided to give up superheroing to be Read more…

Review: Flash Gordon by Arthur Byron Cover

I have a confession to make. I am one of the apparently six or seven people on the planet who really liked the Flash Gordon movie when it came out in 1980. I was a young teenager at the time and I and my friends loved every minute of the Read more…
