Slaughter House Five by Kurt Vonnegut review

Can time travel be all in your head? A hallucination? Or does time travel need a device? A button to push? Hosts Eric and Chris wrangle over this impossible conundrum in this goofy romp through the horrible history of WWII. How is it possible to write an anti-war novel during another misguided war and end up on Tralfamador? Vonnegut shows us how. LDSF recommends taking two Tylenol before reading any time travel story because even imagining jumping through space and time can hurt your head. 

The Time Ships by Stephen Baxter review

Our heroes yo-yo back and forth through time meeting the future and the past and then the future in magnificent ships floating through the sea of time. Lifedeathscifi hosts Chris and Eric try to make sense of what is happening in Stephen Baxter's centennial tribute to H.G.Wells original Time Machine. Oh, and the floating heads...

The Time Machine by H. G. Wells Review

Lifedeathscifi looks into the well of time and sees H.G. Wells spinning a tale of science and time. The excitement of the first to travel into the vast beyond, is it science fiction or just another fantasy of the 19th century? If you were sitting in the time machine's chair, would you push the lever?

The Martian by Andy Weir Review

Mark Watney is marooned on Mars, not the first literary lost on the red planet, and probably not the last. Lifedeathscifi talks about how he McGivers his way out of some life-or-death spots and earns his spot to the spaceman's ball. the world watches as countries finally come together for the common good of another Robinson Crusoe on Mars, Mark Watney.

Finally, space is more like 21st-century space in this wacky ride to Mars. Eric and Chris talk about Demogorgons, wispy beards, the Stalin lounge, HT serum made from bears, The Mary Poppins, and much more about this near-future vision of space travel.

Desolation Road by Ian McDonald Review

Okay. This is part of the chronological journey of Martian stories. We began in 1912 and now seven stories later, We're in 1988. So far, most of, if not, all these stories use Mars in name only; like a stage backdrop, meaning it could have just as well happened on Mother Earth. This story is like visiting an art museum where you stumble on a gallery full of award-winning, disturbing, horrifying, wonderful, thought-provoking images.
