STAR TREK: PLANET OF JUDGMENT: JOE HALDEMAN
The first couple chapters are quite interest-piquing, but the novel quickly plateaus thereafter. Not a bad novel by any means – it would’ve made an above-average episode – but there’s little payoff for the initial mystique.
6/10
FLOW MY TEARS, THE POLICEMAN SAID: PHILIP K. DICK
PROS
- It’s the Twilight Zone episode “Person or Persons Unknown” crossed with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
- It’s a quick read.
CONS
- The main protagonist is a materialistic, hedonistic douchebag.
- The supporting characters aren’t any better.
My final analysis: There’re better PKD books out there. Unless you’re a diehard PKD fan, skip this one.
