Book Review: Rationality Zero

March 11, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 2 Comments

Rationality Zero by JM Guillen

My rating: ★★★★★ (5 out of 5)

Full disclosure: I’ve been a fan of JM Guillen’s writing since I first read his dark fantasy novella The Herald of Autumn, and as fellow writers we’ve reviewed and helped get the word out about each other’s books. Yet the reason that I’m so willing and able to do so is simple: Every book of his that I’ve read so far has been SO FRELLING GOOD!

I recently finished reading Rationality Zero, Guillen’s self-described science fiction espionage horror novella, and I’m happy to say that it’s no exception.

Guest Geeks: D.M. Cain Talks Final Fantasy

March 10, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 8 Comments

It’s Wednesday (or at least it is when this post is going up–the space-time continuum is confusing sometimes), which has come to mean it’s time for another Guest Geek post! This week’s guest is fellow gamer and sci-fi writer D.M. Cain. D.M. LOVES the Final Fantasy franchise, and you can believe she’s come here to make sure we all know just how awesome it is. I have to admit, being primarily a PC gamer, that I’ve only played the first two games in the series back in the NES days. (Yes, I’m old.) After reading this, it looks like I’m going to have to see what I can find for my PS3…

Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters – Ch 18

March 9, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 12 Comments

Oog.

Oog.

It’s equus ex machina in the latest chapter of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters…

The Party Ponies Invade

I’m a little late on posting this entry, mainly because I wasn’t sure quite how to go about it. I’ve definitely enjoyed reading the Percy Jackson series so far. I’ve especially loved seeing another writer’s take on Greek mythology in the modern world. Yet this particular chapter just didn’t work for me. Don’t hate me, but I’m about to get all complainy. (Yeah, I said “complainy.” I’m makin’ it a word and you can’t stop me!) [Read more…]

Farscape Rewatch: “Liars, Guns, and Money – Plan B”

March 5, 2015 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

Farscape

You know, given how many times plans don’t work on this show, you’d think there’d have been an episode titled “Plan B” long before this…

Season 2, Episode 21:
“Liars, Guns & Money Part 3: Plan B”
***** out of *****

“What if Crichton’s worse, and won’t be rescued?”
“Well, that’s easy. I put a bullet in Crichton’s head, and end it.” [Read more…]

Guest Geeks: Sheri Williams Talks Doctor Who

March 4, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 2 Comments

Look! There’s someone else besides me writing on Geek Notes! That must mean it’s time again for a Guest Geeks post! (That, or the blog has been usurped by North Korean hackers, I suppose.) This week my guest geek is Sheri Williams, who comes to share with us a little about her obsession with Doctor Who. I was a bit of a latecomer to the show myself, and–
Well, maybe I’ll save that for my own post sometime. I’ll simply say that Tennant’s Doctor is my favorite (I also think he’d make a great Hermes if Zeus Is Dead ever becomes a movie), and yield the floor to Sheri…

Booktrope_logo_color-300x233If you’ve been watching this site for a little while, you already know that A Shadow in the Flames, my cyberpunk novel (and the first novel I ever wrote) was re-published under Seattle publisher Booktrope’s label last December.

Review: Trapped in a Room with a Zombie (Seattle)

February 22, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 8 Comments

I have faced the zombie at the base of Seattle’s Queen Anne Hill and emerged victorious!

Okay, so I can’t take all the credit. I was part of a team, and together we kicked the crap out of the zombie known as Doctor Oxy and escaped her room of puzzley terror! Well, all of us except for Clint. Clint got bit. But his sacrifice was not in vain!

You probably want to know just what the holy heck I’m talking about, huh? [Read more…]
