[ExI] Six Startling Predictions

[William Flynn Wallace]

I'm very
much looking forward to books and science fiction.   Daniel

What I want to see is descriptions of books that tell me the various
themes,like time travel, how much of the book is about war, magic, and so
on. Other people will want things like sexual content and the sexual
preferences of the characters. Not kidding.  Now you just take your
chances.  Most of the covers of scifi books have little to nothing to do
with the book's content.

Speaking of scifi, which online sources of reviews do you trust the most?
