New books

I now have the entire Archer’s Beach trilogy by Sharon Lee. I also have Andy Weir’s The Martian. Also Keith Laumer’s A Plague of Demons & Other Stories.

Weir’s book was self-published in 2011 and purchased by Crown Publishing in 2014. It’s gotten very good reviews.

Laumer was an interesting character. An ex-Air Force officer, he was also ex-Foreign Service. He suffered a stroke at age 46 but refused to accept the doctors’ diagnosis and developed an alternate form of treatment for himself. That kept him from writing for a few years, and when he was able to resume it’s said he’d lost some of his skill. I’ve read several of his Bolo stories.

There are a few more new-to-me books, but that’s enough to go on for now. I should also mention that I picked up a used copy of Firefly for $15.

  1. My husband and I were big fans of Firefly when it was on the air. I think the series had so much more potential; shame it was canceled. I hope you enjoy it. 🙂
