In the wake of the Red Sox loss to the White Sox, I decided to revisit the past and read Bill Lee‘s autobiography, written with Dick Lally. Lee pitched for the Red Sox during the years that I became a baseball fan. This twenty-year old book is a breezy, amusing recollection of baseball in the seventies. Lee and Lally just wrote another book that will also go on my list of books to read.

Keith R.A. DeCandido presents us with a novelization based on the motion picture screenplay by Joss Whedon. The film and the book make for a fitting conclusion to the short-lived television series. And don’t forget the comics.

Authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson conclude the Legends of Dune trilogy with this volume. Omnius kills billions of humans with a plague. Humans kill billions of humans with atomics on synchronized worlds. Titans kill Cogitors. Humans kill Titans. A great time is had by all and the reader encounters the genesis of all things Dune. It’s a bit overwhelming, but if you’ve read the original Dune novels, seen the film, or the Sci-Fi channel mini-series, it’s also entertaining.
