![]() ![]() ![]() Tracy Hickman is best known for his high fantasy with Margaret Weis, but “Unhonored” (Tor, $24.99, 268 pages), the second of the “Nightbirds’ novels, has little in common with his previous work. In short, start reading sooner rather than later. Ky Vatta’s struggles and successes in that setting are nothing out of the ordinary, but Moon is an exceptional writer and keeps the pages turning as Vatta deals with enemies, known and unknown, and navigates treachery and outright warfare.Īll in all, “Vatta’s War” was one of the most enjoyable series I read in this sub-genre, and “Cold Welcome” is as good or better than the previous books. It’s been nine years since Elizabeth Moon wrapped up the five-part “Vatta’s War” series with “Victory Conditions,” and after a dip back into her excellent Paksennarion world, she gets us back to Ky Vatta and her space opera with “Cold Welcome” (Del Rey, $28, 411 pages) – and luckily, there are more to come after this one.īut to get full value for the hardback money, it would make sense to go back to the very first Ky Vatta novel, “Trading in Danger,” and settle into a universe with planet-spanning empires, tramp traders and pirates. ![]() Welcome back, Ky Vatta – we’ve missed you. ![]() ![]() in English from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1975.

During high school he faced the white American culture for the first time. Other students at the school, according to Yep, labeled him a "dumbbell Chinese" because he spoke only English. They later married and now live in San Francisco.Īlthough not living in Chinatown, Yep commuted to a parochial bilingual school there. Joanne Ryder, a children's book author, and Yep met and became friends during college while she was his editor. He was in his own words his neighborhood's "all-purpose Asian" and did not feel he had a culture of his own. Growing up in San Francisco, Yep felt alienated. After troubling times during the Depression, he was able to open a grocery store in an African-American neighborhood. Yep's father, Thomas, was born in China and came to America at the age of ten where he lived, not in Chinatown, but with an Irish friend in a white neighborhood. ![]() Franche Lee, her family's youngest child, was born in Ohio and raised in West Virginia where her family owned a Chinese laundry.

This serves to set up Morrison’s take on Doom Patrol. ![]() I cared about every character in this story and I really hope that maintains as I get deeper into this series. Morrison does a fine job of throwing characters at you and finding something within them that allows him to connect with the audience. I can’t quite say that this is a legendary comic book run, as I need to read Morrison’s entire Doom Patrol catalog but this is certainly off to a very solid start. I’m trying to rectify that now, as I want to better understand these characters with the Doom Patrol television show starting in a few weeks on DC Universe. Over time, I collected a few issues of Morrison’s run but I never completed it and never actually read a full story arc. ![]() It’s something that the older, cooler kids talked about but I was more into Batman and Spider-Man at the time, as comic books were still kind of new to me and I hadn’t yet expanded too much beyond that. I knew all about Doom Patrol back when Grant Morrison was writing it in the very late ’80s and into the ’90s. ![]() |
