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.

7/10
