EW on SF

By John DeNardo | Saturday, April 16th, 2005 at 3:29 pm

Here’s the April 22 roundup of brief SF reviews published by Entertainment Weekly reviewer Noah Robischon.

	SUNSTORM by Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter Grade: B+ Upshot: Though Clarke and Baxter have mastered the art of saving the world in blockbuster style, the climactic finale is clouded by a tangential subplot about insidious aliens.
	WELL OF STARS by Robert Reed Grade: A Upshot: Babylon 5 and Deep Space Nine put together don’t add up to the epic geekiness of Reed’s follow-up to 2000′s Marrow
	HERE, THERE & EVERYWHERE by Chris Roberson Grade: B Upshot: Roberson’s irreverent alternate histories of the Beatles, Sherlock Holmes, and H.G. Wells are a welcome stitch in the age-old time-travel tradition.
	MINDSCAN by Robert J. Sawyer Grade: B Upshot: Sawyer lucidly explores the fascinating philosophical conundrums, but the courtroom drama reads too much like jury duty.
