Kill Process - Book Review

Kill Process, by William Hertling, of the Singularity series  is a techno-thriller with a lot of very reasonable tech, a lot of hacking and some murder. I was already a fan of the author, so when I got the e-mail notice of the new book I ordered it right away. The beginning is very interesting and goes through a "Dexter" part - where the main lead is a serial killer that chooses abusers. Then it goes on a completely different direction. Both parts are pretty good. I particularly liked that the tech and hacks were all very reasonable (instead of the poorly made nonsense so common in TV and other books). The ending is also pretty good. Overall, strongly recommended.

A Window into Time - Book Review

A Window into Time - by Peter F. Hamilton - is a wonderful novella about the nature of consciousness. I'm a big fan of Peter F. Hamilton series - I have reviewed several here - and if there is a new book by him I can be pretty confident that I will like it, so I got this on pre-order. It is short for a book (106 pages), being a novella rather than a novel, and it certainly feels all too short. I'm not sure how much I can say without adding too many spoilers, but the topic goes into the nature of time and consciousness. I didn't expect it to. The main character is also wonderfully defined. Great ending. Overall, excellent, and I strongly recommend checking it out.
