The World at the End of Time by Frederik Pohl

The World at the End of TimeThe World at the End of Time by Frederik Pohl

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


~~~~~

"Frederick Pohl succeeds where others wouldn't even dare..."
The Denver Post

Wan-To was the oldest and must powerful intelligence in the universe, a being who played with star systems as a child plays with marbles. Matter occupied so tiny a part of his vast awareness that humans were utterly beneath his notice.

The colonists of Newmanhome first suffered the effects of Wan-To's games when their planet's stars began to shift, the climate began to cool down, and the colony was forced into a desperate struggle to survive.

Viktor Sorricaine was determined to discover what force had suddenly sent his world hurtling toward the ends of the universe. And the answer was something beyond the scope of his imagination -- even if he lived for 4000 years...

No I remember why I love Sci-fi so much. This was a great science fiction story. I loved how the two main characters' stories (Wan To - the godlike plasma being and Viktor the human being originally from Earth)were told simultaneously but separately. Very thought provoking!!

Firestorm (Weather Warden, #5) by Rachel Caine

Firestorm (Weather Warden, #5)Firestorm by Rachel Caine

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


~~~~

Putting aside the personal chaos that has plagued her, rogue Weather Warden Joanne Baldwin must rally the remnants of the Weather Warden corps against a double threat-the Djinn who have broken free from Warden control, and a cranky Mother Earth who's about to unleash her full fury against the entire world.



Another good chapter in Joanne, Weather Warden's life. This book was a little chaotic. A lot going on between Jo and David's relationship, their daughter Imara, the fight with the Djinn, Mother Nature waking up, and the end of the world. It almost got to be too much, but with another cliff hanger of an ending I want to keep reading the series. I am going to take a short break while I read some other books I owe, but will be back to the Weather Warden series very soon!

Windfall (Weather Warden #4) by Rachel Caine

Windfall (Weather Warden, #4)Windfall by Rachel Caine

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Weather Warden Joanne Baldwin's stormy personal life is taking its toll on her patience-and her powers. But when the truce between the Wardens and the mystical Djinn starts to self-destruct, Joanne finds herself forced to choose between saving her Djinn lover, saving her Warden abilities-and saving humanity.

Wow! What a life Joanne leads. I am so happy that I have this entire series on my bookshelves. Each book seems to contain a action packed week in the life Of Joanne, Weather Warden. I don't know what I would do if I had to wait 6 months or a year to see what happens next. Loving this series and am off to the next book!
