It’s been awhile since I read something in the horror genre. In the case of The Haunting on Ruckman Road, I would say it’s more ghost story or psychological thriller than horror novel. That doesn’t stop some bad things from happening. In Hampton, Virginia, Detective Alex Penfield is trying to come back from a gunshot... Continue Reading →
Finally, a Tom Clancy novel that feels like a Tom Clancy novel, for better and for worse. Let’s start with the good stuff: Plot! – In Threat Vector, the author(s) imagine a world where China has moved aggressively into the South China Sea in an effort to both control the flow of sea traffic and...

So, there it is, the top of the ninth inning at Wrigley Field and the Cubs are down to the New York Yankees by something like three thousand runs (okay, it was five). As a Cubs fan, the night can’t get any better, right? The Cubs already blew the lead the previous day in the... Continue Reading →
Legend tells of a great ring of immense power and dark beauty that calls out its siren song to unsuspecting victims. The reach of this powerful object knows no bounds, instilling in men an unrelenting compulsion to possess it, regardless of cost (but it should cost). This compulsion usually arrives around the same time a... Continue Reading →
Ransom for the Stars is sub-titled “The Adventures of Bonnie Day.” And if that tells you anything, it’s that author Jim Bray is a little cheeky. Bonnie Day doesn’t even remotely have a good day. Set somewhere in the far future (I don’t know when), ex-secret agent Bonnie Day is trying to enjoy her new... Continue Reading →
It’s hard to be an extra-super, over level 9000 secret agent and do your job properly when a double-extra-super-evil omniscient organization with government ties keeps getting in the way by trying to have you eliminated. But it’s just a day in the life of Scot Harvath, counterterrorism agent and all around swell guy. I make... Continue Reading →
People magazine just released their “Most Beautiful Women of the Year.” Once again MojoFiction is not on the list, leading us to believe that People magazine continues to assume our gender. Our super-manly, beer-chugging, steak-eating, cigar chomping gender. Shame on you, People. Did we assume that “People” only meant human people? No. We are more... Continue Reading →
Author Anthony Horowitz makes me upset. Upset that he’s a good writer. Upset for leading me down one path only to blindside me with epic-level plot-twists. Upset for making me think I could figure it all out before he revealed the solution to the central mystery. Did I mention that he’s an Officer of the... Continue Reading →
Winston Churchill, a name synonymous with World War II, cigars, and the occasional Doctor Who episode. I realized when I picked up this book that I didn't know much else about him. I've visited Westminster Abbey and seen the memorial stone (he’s buried elsewhere) and I've seen the statue in Parliament Square. But these sights... Continue Reading →
Recently, the staff here at MojoFiction heard about this newfangled thing called global warming, which came as a total surprise to us as we gunned our Hummer down Interstate 90 on our way to visit our stock broker to ask about the performance of our oil and gas stock. See, we hadn't been paying attention... Continue Reading →
