BOOK REVIEW: GOTHAM DAWN OF DARKNESS BY JASON STARR

NOVEL REVIEW: RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER: EVIL COMES HOME BY TIM WAGGONER

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter: Evil Comes Home by Tim Waggoner

Ever since fans of the Capcom game played as Alice or (think of other characters) it must have been pretty obvious that they would be made into movies that have been as successful as the Aliens franchise. Mila Jovovich's role as Alice made for essential viewing as she is also a gamer herself and to cap it off a fan of the game.

GALAXY'S EDGE #19

 
Galaxy's Edge #19 by Mike Resnick

A review by Sandra Scholes

As it's  in its fourth year of publishing, editor Mike Resnick has a lot to be happy about after others might have predicted otherwise. People like us, the readers know full well the work that must have gone into the issues before this as it takes time to edit and design the cover and content as well as trying to cater to a new and existing audience. I think partly its reason for using stories that have been published before is that they have already got a readership  to take them in.

SCI-FI BOOK REVIEW: THE COMPLETE ALIENS OMNIBUS VOL: 3

The Complete Aliens Omnibus Volume: 3 by Sandy Schofield & S.D. Perry

I have been privileged enough to review several Aliens novels and omnibuses of this award winning writing team. Sandy Schofield and Stephanie Perry create a couple of novels, Rogue and Labyrinth - and at the same time creates a thick novel that goes well with others of equal size and weight. This particular omnibus does two things, it excites fans of the original movies and keep them waiting for the 2017 release of Aliens: Covenant.

The previous episodes have led up to the main battle where Naruto, Kakashi and Guy have to face-up to the might of the man in the mask. The difference is that he was considered the real Madara, yet Madara, the reanimated version has never been revealed before, as has his true strength as a ruling member of the Uchiha clan.
