Wen Spencer - Alien Taste

Spencer, Wen. Alien Taste. R. 20061102. other than the title giving away too much it's excellent! an 8. very good near future sf. boy raised by wolves with near supernatural abilities. gangs of feuding aliens trying to take over the earth. excellent PI search, good gunfights, satisfying ending, although it doesn't close up all the loose ends, and there could easily be a sequel. cover looks more high-tech than it is. good characters, good low-level romance, excellent adventure, and finding self story.

Wen Spencer - Tinker

Spencer, Wen. Tinker. R. 20061027. a good elves and sf story. near future and someone built a machine that opened the way back up to elfhame of old. good characters. the sex scenes were cribbed from a typical romance novel, a bit stereotypical feeling. the ideas magic as a waveform, spells as a type of technology, the 2 able to work together science and magic print out magic spells, cast them - was interesting. But the best of it was the main character, able to overcome her enemies without being a 'fighter' using her considerable brains instead. a 6.
