Dean McAdam, a witty and streetwise teenager, is recovering from an horrific car crash which killed his mother, pitched his sister into a permanent vegetative state, and left him paralysed from the waist down. Dean nurtures a fierce ambition to become a microbiologist; to this end he converts five floors of a semi-derelict tower block into a zoo and experiments with evolutionary genetics. This is the story of a month in his life.

IMAGINE... Imagine if Captain Benjamin Sisko's wife Jennifer hadn't merely been killed, but had been assimilated by the Borg, personally by Locutus of Borg. Imagine if Major Kira believed she was really a Cardassian spy, slept with Gul Dukat, and then realized she wasn't really a Cardassian. Imagine if Nog were kidnapped by the Dominion, brainwashed, had a bomb put in his artificial leg, and then was sent with a special present to celebrate Captain Sisko's receipt of the Christopher Pike award. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had a lot of good things going for it. A lot of compelling characters, interesting situations, interesting ideas. I really liked Sisko (the later Sisko), Garak, Damar, Kira (the later Kira), Odo, and some of the other characters. The show also had a lot of intriguing ideas. But some of these ideas were either executed poorly, or weren't written as well as they could have been. The purpose of this book is to show how much better Deep Space Nine could have been than it was.

Star Trek: The Next Generation had a lot of good things going for it. Visually, it was a treat: the colorful uniforms, the sets, the spaceships, Counselor Troi in certain outfits, etc. Some of the characters like Picard and Data were very interesting. The show also had a lot of intriguing ideas about time travel, parallel dimensions, clones, robots and other classic sci-fi themes. But some of these ideas were either executed poorly, or weren't written as well as they could have been. Some episodes felt like they were dropped in from soap operas or Sesame Street and had little to do with Star Trek. At times the behavior of many of the characters simply was not realistic. The purpose of this book is to show how much better The Next Generation could have been, critiquing both the plot and the characterizations.

Science Fiction & Fantasy

This book is an unauthorized summary and literary criticism of the plot and characters of George R.R. Martin's novel "A Clash of Kings", with a detailed chapter by chapter analysis. It is written humorously, but covers a lot of serious topics. It is written in an accessible way--I don't inundate you with hundreds of character names, I focus on the essential ones. A sampling of the questions which will be addressed: Why did the Hound say it was bad luck to kill someone on their birthday? How easy is it to murder someone by getting them drunk during boar hunting? Why did Stannis switch gods? Why doesn't Stannis cut off Salladhor Saan's fingers? How does the raven post office system work? Why doesn't Tyrion have Littlefinger arrested for falsely accusing him of murder? Why does the Hound like being called the Hound? Why is urinating called "making water"? Are Craster's babies free range or cage raised before being fed to zombie diners? What does it mean when Craster's wife "licks her lips"? Why does Theon's sister Asha squeeze his cock repeatedly? Why did Renly offer Stannis a peach? Why does Jaime admit to Catelyn that he is Joffrey's father? Why would Cersei order her own execution? What did Dany learn from the warlocks of Qarth? How does Cersei try to kill Tyrion? Why did the Hound cry when Sansa sang him a lame girly song?
