December:
Ankunft der dreibeinigen Monster (When the Tripods came) (Christopher; John): Anyone remember the old Tripods TV-Series by the BBC? Read the books!
Crow; The (O'Barr; James) I really don't have to comment this, do I?
Crow; The: Flesh and Blood (Vance; James & Malew; Alexander): No comment
Delta Green: The Rules of Engagement (Tynes; John): It starts off as a crime story, turnes into something from the X-Files, and ends as a full-fledged Cthulhu Story. If you've read my review at www.blutschwerter.de you'll know the only problem is that it's too short.
Dreibeinige Monster auf Erdkurs (The White Mountains) (Christopher; John): The first Tripods Novel
Dunkle Seite der Nacht; Die (Something from the Nightside) (Simon R. Green): A brilliant little book set in a darker London that would give the World of Darkness a run for it's money. If only the german edition wasn't so damn expensive...
Für jede Lösung ein Problem (Gier; Kerstin): A sweet little romantic comedy. I loved it.
Geheimnis der dreibeinigen Monster; Das (The City of Gold and Lead) (Christopher; John): the second Tripods Novel
Gottkaiser des Wüstenplaneten; Der (God Emperor of Dune) (Herbert; Frank): The fourth original Dune novel, and my personal favorite
Haus Corrino; Das (Dune: House Corrino) (Herbert; Brian & Anderson; Kevin J.): Yeah, yeah, another Dune novel...
Herr des Wüstenplaneten; Der (Dune Messiah) (Herbert; Frank): The second of the original Dune novels
Hunger like Fire; A (Stolze; Greg): The first Vampire: the Requiem novel. Not quite as good as the other one, but better than Twilight...
Illium (Simmons; Dan): Shakespear's Tempest. Homer's Illias. Posthuman SF. One book.
Kinder des Wüstenplaneten; Die (Children of Dune) (Herbert; Frank): The third original Dune novel
Price of the Stars; The: Mageworlds 1 (Doyle; Debra & MacDonald; James D.): Ever read the third book of a trilogy and couldn't figure out what was going on? That's what this book was like for me.
Spiel von Licht und Schatten; Ein (Agents of Light and Darkness) (Green; Simon R.): See above
Untergang der dreibeinigen Monster; Der (The Pool of Fire) (Christopher; John): The third Tripods Novel
Welten und zeit genug (Worlds enough and Time) (Simmons; Dan): A collection of short stories featuring both a visit to the Hyperion-Universe and the origin of Illium
Wüstenplanet, Der (Dune) (Herbert; Frank): You mean I actually have to tell you about Dune? Seriously?
