6/3/01 Monthly spec-fic book reviews for BookPage (.com and in print, old and new combine). My remit is to either review books I like or at least find something good to say about the books I have to write about. So I've read more straight-sf/space-opera-type sf than I would otherwise have. It's fun. Here's a list of the books and links to the reviews:
