    Toy Soldiers
    Looking for a game where you can do fast simple missions in a cool environment?
    I can recommend Toy Soldiers.
    A great fun little game where you control small toy soldiers and their vehicles in a toybox.

    The book could have been a 4 (out of five) but the author took too many shortcuts while explaining the main feature of the book: A canal built across the Earth, seemingly unbreakable and everlasting. The characters in the book consist of three groups of scientists who want to discover the canal's secrets for different purposes. One thing that complicates matters is that the three groups are separated in time by a few millennia each. This makes for a rather weird reading as you will think; "why aren't past events showing in the future character's world?". Well we don't really get any answers for that. Overall its good read so it still gets a 3, but be prepared for a few inconsistencies when it comes to time relation.

    Time
    Stephen Baxter is one of my favorite authors.
    So it's with a great joy that I now sink my proverbial teeth into one of his best works; Time. The first book in the Manifold series (followed by one of my favorites of all; Space, and concluded in; Origin).
    To see what all the fuss is about just log in and follow the "read more" link.

    Time's would-be asteroid-miner-in-chief is bootstrap space entrepreneur Reid Malenfant, a media-savvy firebrand who's showed those crotchety NASA folks what's what with his ready-to-fly Big Dumb Booster, piloted by a genetically enhanced super-squid. But Malenfant's near-term plans to exploit the asteroids get diverted when he crosses paths with creepy mathematician and eschatologist Cornelius Taine. Applying Bayes's theorem and a series of other statistical do-si-dos, Taine convinces Malenfant that an inescapable extinction event--the "Carter catastrophe"--is nigh, and that even working to colonize the galaxy might not be enough to save humanity. The answer: build a Feynman "radio" to listen to the future and, by detecting coded quantum waves traveling back through time, divine the fate of human "downstreamers" and find the key to their survival. Space flight, time travel, and even squid negotiations ensue, while Earth is gripped in Last Days madness.

    T5's Book Recommendations 10
    Here are four nice little books that I can recommend if you are looking for something different.
    Personally I will get the 2312 book by Kim Stanley Robinson as it is a continuation of his epic Mars trilogy that he wrote a few years ago.
    The four books on the list are:
    • 2312 (by Kim Stanley Robinson)
    • The Book Of Blood And Shadow (by Robin Wasserman)
    • The Future Is Japanese - Haikasoru (by various)
    • Range Of Ghosts (by Elizabeth Bear)
    Too see the covers and read about the stories in these books just log in and follow the "read more" link below.

    And don't forget, please leave a message if you chose to buy one of the books.
