Galactic Alliance

So this time I read "Galactic Alliance - Book 1". It is a man who makes an FTL Drive (Faster than Light Drive). On the maiden flight the humans on the ship encounter an alien race who are part of the Consortium, a group races who have achieved FTL status. There ends up being an inter-galactic war with the war-centered race called the Thoraltans.

This is an amazing book that I have read many, many times. There are three or four books in the series (depending if you count the behind-the-scenes book), and they are all equally good. It is a bit slow at the beginning at each book, but after that it is really exciting and, unlike most books, keeps the consistency throughout the entire book. I give this book a 10 out of 10, and I definitely recommend this book.

The House of the Scorpions

So this time I read House of the Scorpions. It is about a clone that was made of this druglord, and he is the only clone ever to not have their intelligence blunted so all that they can do is follow orders. He lived in the opium fields for years and years, when some children find him and he gets out to follow him. After that he finds out about how he was really born, and he ends up being treated very nicely.

I've only read five chapters of it so far, and it is very good. This book intrigued me at the beginning, because it was very mysterious and interesting. The author did a great job of making sure that the book drew you in at the start. What I found very surprising was that the author consistently kept the quality of the book up. I give this book a 10 out of 10.

(I'm not very picky about books, but this is especially good.)
