CHANGES by JIM BUTCHER
"Since this is Book 12 in the series (not counting various available short stories), and with a title like Changes, you might imagine that there would be... well... changes that occur." -- K. Burtt
OATH OF FEALTY by ELIZABETH MOON
"Then the many other issues with the book, particularly with the writing and editing, were explained, in an incredibly witty and insightful manner..." -- K. Burtt
SALTATION by SHARON LEE AND
STEVE MILLER
"Liaden sentences unravel like something from Jane Austen by way of The Tale of the Heike, with just a hint of Teal’c thrown in..." -- Rachel Hyland
