336 – Stephen Russell – Tales of Nihilism
I love comic books. I won’t tell you who my favorite comic book character is but suffice to say I have been a fan for a long time. Superhero movies have gotten bland, cookie-cutter, and too corporate for my tastes so it takes a lot for me to read a comic book and...

325 – Spencer Emch – Time of Flight
I opened the cover to “Time of Flight” and began to read with great interest. I like helicopters and Spencer Emch’s experience of being in the U.S. Army as an Apache pilot captivated me. Spencer’s story isn’t a traditional military book sense in many respects. After...
