2010 Reading CX-CXII

Jul 19, 2010 03:44

Forgot two:

CX: Leigh Brackett, The Hounds of Skaith
CXI: Leigh Brackett, The Reavers of Skaith

Two late novels, the conclusion of the Eric John Stark (or is it John Eric Stark?) trilogy begun with The Ginger Star. I can't say this science fantasy/planetary romance does much for me.

CXII: Barry Malzberg, Phase IV
Malzberg's novelisation of the nature's revenge film, before the studio mucked around with Saul Bass's only film. Here ants are altered by a strange light from an intergalactic war, and attack a small town and investigative scientists. Except that by the end of the novel there's a sense that the ants are investigating the scientists. I will watch the film when I wake up tomorrow, assuming I get any sleep tonight.

I have put flour and stuff in the breadmaker, in the hope of having a breakfast to sleep through.
