    Book Review: Swords of the Horseclans (Horseclans #2), by Robert Adams

    Swords of the Horseclans (Horseclans #2)
    By Robert Adams
    Review by Dave Felts
    Rating: (2.5/5)

    While I would classify the first volume a being close to heroic fantasy, albeit in a future apocalyptic setting, this second volume in the series, Swords of the Horseclans, is more military fantasy. Book 1 ends with Milo completing his odyssey of leading the Horseclans from the high plains of the middle use to the eastern seaboard, where he establishes them in their new home and forms the Confederation.

    Book Review: A Clash of Kings, (A Song of Ice and Fire #2), by George R. R. Martin

    A Clash of Kings (A Song if Ice and Fire Book 2)
    By George R. R. Martin
    Review by Dave Felts
    Rating: (4/5)

    A Clash of Kings is the second volume in George R. R. Martins series A Song of Ice and Fire, and a follow up to the popular A Game of Thrones.. This review contains some spoilers, as it's necessary to talk about some of the events and characters from the first book. If you haven't read the first book but plan to, DON'T READ THIS REVIEW.

    Two young American entrepreneurs, Sean (Emile Hirsh) and Ben (Max Mingella) arrive in Moscow to pitch their web site business to Russian investors in the hopes of a big payday. When they arrive, however, they find a business contact, a Swedish man named Skyler (Joel Kinnaman), has backstabbed them by stealing their idea and already securing the deal for himself.

    Member Movie Review: Priest

    Priest (2010), Rated PG-13
    87 minutes
    Starring Paul Bettany, Karl Urban, Cam Gigandet, Maggie Q, Lily Collins, Brad Dourif
    Directed by Scott Charles Stewart
    Reviewed by Jaqhama
    Rating: (2/5)

    Priest is set on either another world or the Earth in some dark, apocalyptic future, or an alternate Earth at any rate. Never was quite sure about that. Humans have been at war with a vampire race for decades, centuries maybe. Things weren't going so good for the homo saps until they discovered that some of them have almost super human powers of speed, strength and agility.

    Umm, Dead Six isn't a Deathlands book, Dave.

    It's a military action/adventure novel, quite a popular one, judging by the Amazon reviews.
    I really enjoyed it.
