The Airlock

       

Welcome to the Airlock. This is where we throw out our trash. When you read a ton of science fiction and fantasy, as we do, you will invariably run into garbage. I mean, come on, not everybody can write a masterpiece. As reviewers we reserve the right to put a book down if we find it completely unpalatable.

This is the case with the following books. In almost every case we simply couldn't even finish the book. Therefore, it would be impossible to truly review the titles so out the airlock they go. It should be noted that the titles are listed in alphabetical order by title. Oh, and we want feedback on these. If we have discarded something that you hold dear, let us know. We want to know that if we had given the book another fifty pages it would have blown us away. If you do desire to correct us please email either tyranist or Spectre.
