wfzimmerman's review: "Perhaps the very best of Bujold's unexcelled Vorkosigan series. I hope she doesn't keep writing these silly romantic fantasies (THE SHARING KNIFE) and comes back to Vorkosigan series for more than just one book."

wfzimmerman's review: "The title brings back the feeling of exuberant optimism that Brin fans felt at the beginning of this series, which, sadly, fizzled out into something of a disappointment as this trilogy ended up circling around a galactic sump hole, both literally and metaphorically."

wfzimmerman's review: "This book and [SEMI-TOUGH] are still enjoyable reads. Classics in the rather small genre of funny football novels. I'd like to have firsts of both of these."

wfzimmerman's review: "A pretty terrific stand-alone book by the always reliable Duncan. Unfortunately, as the social info shows, this one didn't really sell all that well. People like series."
Del Rey (1995), Hardcover, 436 pages

wfzimmerman's review: "A Clintonesque young man who is a KGB spy becomes President of the US. In retrospect, this feels dated, a product of the stupidly overheated atmosphere around the Clinton Presidency that served as such an effective distraction from the real problems of the world."
Random House (1998), Hardcover, 385 pages

wfzimmerman's review: "More a general history than a military history, but not without its interest. A childhood gift from my parents."
