Yesterday I put up the second BookSpot Beat over at BookSpot Central. Again, BookSpot Beat is basically:

One of my favorite features at Fantastic Metropolis was the Read and Appreciated contributions by various and numerous sources which probably still stands as one of the great sources of recommendations for recent speculative fiction and is still very much worth looking over.

Back in review mode and this may be the first free review of this book available on the the damn net. If not that, it certainly is the first by someone as (allegedly and only by my self) noteworthy as yours truly. Allegiance is former Hugo winner Timothy Zahn’s latest effort in [...]
