On a good day, I could make $10, which was worth the couple of blocks walk and smelling like beer for the rest of the weekend - serious video arcade money.

17.12.2025 13:25 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Book review of Kenai by David Hoag: ***** Dave Dobson folded a lot more into this excellent book than just a unique plot. I couldnβt put this book down. The story of Jess Amiko is captivating and compelling. That it spans an immense time period, explores new worlds, unique ecologies, and a very different take on time and destiny, is part of what makes this story so compelling. There are so many reasons to give this book the highest rating possible, but itβs probably best to let you discover them for yourself. Do yourself a big favor, and read this book! You wonβt be sorry.

"Kenai" was one of the sci-fi books that @michaelshotter.com read and enjoyed this year but Dave Dobson has many others worth investigating as well, in various genres. He's also a returning SPSFC judge. Needless to say, he's a busy fellow. πͺππ
