I could never objectively rate this, or any other book Harlan wrote. He is my best friend that I’ll never meet. Someone else will have to point out the flaws. I couldn’t do it if I tried.

“Sometimes it hurts to live, but there is always something to live for. Could you try to remember that?”
Colony by Ben Bova
adventurous
slow-paced
3.0
Pretty typical Bova: an interesting concept marred by poor follow-through, trite dialogue that reads like a novelization, and ever worsening racial and gender stereotypes. Ben was a product of his time and never escaped it.
Still, this is better than other books he wrote.

The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Revenge from the Grave by David Stuart Davies
adventurous
fast-paced
2.5
This is not the worst thing that Davies has written; however, that is not saying a whole lot. All of the twists were highly
visible from miles away.
Holmes disguises himself three times, in three different costumes, and the villain uses two disguises. That’s a lot of disguising for 280 pages. The final showdown features them confronting each other while disguised, so I hope anyone who reads this really likes that characteristic of Holmes.
