Wow, it's gotten really quiet in here.  I had made a commitment to myself to 
catch up on mailing lists and be more active this year, but until now my job was 
pretty much preventing that from happening.  I'm hoping now I'm finally past 
that -- hopefully Jason hasn't given up and moved on.

I'm in the middle of this right now, and LOVING it.  Like you, I really enjoyed 
"Presure" as well.  Have you read any of his Andrew Mayhem books?  I have a 
digital copy of the first one (got a Nook last week, loving it so far!) but 
haven't read it yet.  I also enjoyed "Benjamin's Parasite", though there was 
obviously less substance there than Pressure and Dweller.  But I like that kind 
of book as well, and it sounds like the Mayhem books are more along those lines.

p.s. - Interesting bit of trivia, I was mistaken for Jeff Strand in the dealer 
room at World Horror in SF a few years back.  The guy swore I looked just like 
him, and after meeting him at that con, I just didn't see it.  It was somewhat 
of an insult to Jeff, actually :-).

 This one is a gem.  Jeff Strand  continues to amaze me.  He has written what I 
consider one of the greatest books I've ever read, "Pressure."
 
DWELLER is a MUST read.  I don't want to give anything away, but it's about a 
boy that meets a monster in the woods near his home.  It has everything, 
coming-of-age story, gore,  a monster, great chracters...I loved it

Even better than his debut, HEARTSHAPED BOX.  No sophmore slump here!  
 
Fully realized characters, nice little murder mystery packed in there, and superb writing.  I really liked it.

GREAT BOOK.  Thanks to my friend Casey for suggesting it.  I have strayed away from science fiction literature after my first attempt with Hebert's DUNE.  Don't get me wrong, I thought DUNE was masterfully written, and showed Hebert's genuis....BUT...I thought it was a tough read; maybe too tough at the time for me to enjoy fully.
 
In any case, ENDER'S GAME was a great book.  It didn't show its full genius until the last few pages.  A great coming-of-age story, that I'd recommend any child to read.

I agree with you about ENDER'S GAME, one of my favorite science fiction novels. The original three sequels were also very good, but did not quite live up to the first in my opinion.

DUNE is also a great SF novel, one I had difficulty with too at first.  My favorite SF books of all time are Dan Simmons' HYPERION & ENDYMION books.
