This was on sale, so I picked it up. Very interesting book. Perhaps a little too self congratulatory at times, but still recommended.

I really enjoyed this collection of short stories. Theme was vaguely horror, but had a wide range of styles and settings. I also liked the style of writing.

A good end to the series, told from multiple perspectives. While the ending seemed a bit anticlimactic, I felt that the journey was worth it. Definitely recommended.

This book fills in the gaps of the previous book, only from his daughter's perspective. It resolved some plotholes so that was nice, but on the whole, it just felt incomplete. I think it would have been better with both books combined.

This was better than the Last Colony, but I still felt like the books were missing something, even if I pictured them as a single volume. That being said, the wit and humor was there, so it was a fun read.

Eh. This one didn't work for me. It started off with an interesting premise, but it just felt rushed to me. Plot threads were resolved too quickly, or just dropped and never mentioned again.
