Lucian: Dark God's Homecoming by Van Allen Plexico My rating: 4 of 5 stars I'm a huge fan of Van Allen Plexico's Sentinels series. Normally I don't go in for the more space opera-type stuff, so I was curious to see how this book would read. It's a very…
Ron Fortier has just posted up a review of SoulQuest at Pulp Fiction Reviews. Here's a bit of what he had to say: “Soul Quest” reminded me a great deal of those early Ace Paperbacks in which I first discovered science fiction and fantasy as a teenager. The action never stops; the…

These two books, along with Apocalypse Rising, form the first Sentinels trilogy, "The Grand Design." In this volume, we see the return of…
Have you ever had a book you weren't sure you would like, but then once you started reading it, you couldn't put it down? That's what happened with the first volume of Van Allen Plexico's Sentinels series. I've known this author's name for a very long time, had it come…
"Ignore her. She loves to throw all that time travel stuff in our ignorant nineteenth-century faces." That quote sums up what I love about Blood of the Universe, Volume 0 of Mark Bousquet's Gunfighter Gothic series.
