Reviewed by Galen Strickland The last thing I want to do with this article is to spoil the books for those of you who have yet to read them, so this will be relatively brief. I refer to these books as The Dingilliad because that is what Gerrold is calling them on his website . The name derives from the last name of the books' narrator, Charles Dingillian, a thirteen-year-old musical genius who lives in a "tube-town" near El Paso, Texas. I can't recall any specific dates mentioned, and I'm too lazy right now to double check, but I would say these stories are set at least two hundred years into our future, perhaps a bit more. There is mention in the last book of the "former United States of America," so obviously there have been a number of changes, political and sociological as well as technological, to the world as we know it. David Gerrold from his official Website The original publication dates are as follows: Jumping off the Planet (March 2000), Bouncing off the Moon (April 2001), and Leaping to the Stars (March 2002). The first two are available from amazon.com in mass-market paperback editions, but the latter is only in hardcover at this time.

David Gerrold: Jumping Off The Planet (Tor books h/back, 2000, 284pp, $19.95) Jumping Off The Planet is a puzzling book. On the surface, it is a 90s Heinleinian juvenile, a tale of coming of a page in a rather pessimistic future. And yet, what kind of juvenile (American in origin, at that) features a major character who gets into a homosexual relationship in the course of the story? Not a turn of events that is going to go down well with the librarians in schools across the Bible Belt, one suspects. As a story, though, it doesn't satisfy as an adult read either. The central character is a thirteen year old boy in a totally dysfunctional family, one of three brothers who are kidnapped by their father while on a vacation with him. It s all part of a messy divorce between the parents that has soured relationships in the family beyond all reason, and made Charles, the middle child who is the first person narrator here, a sharp-tongued little bastard that only a mother could, well, tolerate without murdering.

David Gerrold:A Season For Slaughter You know, things seems to get worse with each book in the Chtorr series. In each book so far, they've discovered new depths to the Chtorran infestation. It's mind-boggling, the scope of this thing... Some things don't change much, though. James McCarthy is still as pigheaded and stubborn as ever. The Mode Training he took in the last book seems to have heightened it, if anything. He spends the bulk of this book making enemies, and then regretting it later. The book tends to switch back and forth between McCarthy-making-enemies and McCarthy-discovering-the-new-depths-of-the-Chtorran-infestation. Between the two, things go from bad to worse(apart from a romantic interlude in the middle, where he solemnizes his relationship with General Elizabeth "Lizard" Tirelli). The result is sometimes painful to read...but despite everything, you still sympathize with McCarthy, and his desire to throw politics aside and just get down to fighting the Chtorrans. Gerrold has this annoying habit, however, of going into long digressions, about new technology and how it has affected life, or did before the Chtorr arrived. Amusing though these side-trips may be, they slow down the story, and would almost be better told "straight" in another formatreleased as short story rather than stuck haphazardly into novel. I mean, would James McCarthy
