Book Review: Onward Christian Soldiers

By J. Wesley ⋅ November 25, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I’m a long (LONG) time Baen Books reader and I damn near cut my teeth on David Drake’s Hammer’s Slammers series, so I’ve been reading military science fiction since the ‘good old days’. Knox’s Irregulars is a worth addition to the genre, not just because of the solid military action but because of the [...]

Book Review: Knox’s Irregulars Comes Through

By J. Wesley ⋅ November 24, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

“I will admit, when I first started reading Bush’s book I was afraid it would be a ripoff of my favorite sci-fi novel of all time, Robert Heinlein’s “Starship Troopers”. I was - very - pleasantly surprised to find the story well thought out, very engaging and with an attention to technical detail that didn’t [...]

Book Review: I Liked It, But. . .

By J. Wesley ⋅ November 19, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Its a good read and flows well from scene to scene. Its written well and the action is great.
I guess the whole religious conflict deal, and the simple people living a simple life doesn’t quite fit my idea how space colonists of the future in an interstellar culture would behave, but its not my book.
All [...]

Book Review: Great genre/label defying novel!

By J. Wesley ⋅ November 14, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

J. Wesley Bush has accomplished the impossible: he has blended high tech savvy, geopolitics, philosophical and theological details, humor, gritty war action and romance all in a thrilling and mind-expanding read. As someone whose philosophical and theological commitments mirrors those of the New Geneva freedom forces it was encouraging to see how a life of [...]

Book Review: Excellent Sci Fi Page Turner

By J. Wesley ⋅ November 13, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Knox’s Irregulars is a great sci fi tome. This coming from from someone who’s not typically a fan of the genre. I enjoyed the author’s vision of a possible future planet earth, stretching possible technologies and living standards to tickle the imagination without stepping outside reality. Bush also creates believable, interesting characters, with seeming inevitable [...]

Review: Great Read For Christian Sci-Fi Fans

By J. Wesley ⋅ November 12, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

“The writing in this book draws you in and engages you. The author is evidently a well-read man, judging by his use of different philosphers and thinkers and mentions of historical events. It has always been my experience that the best authors are men who read well, and this book would seem to prove my [...]
