Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Mindbridge by Joe Haldeman





This takes place in the not too distant future where instantaneous transfer to the galaxy is discovered accidentally.  The basic premise of the story is when the team of galactic explorers run across another intelligent species.

Jacque and Carol are the most frequent protagonists used in the story. Their exposure to the alien race has an impact on both of them.  They use a possibly intelligent species as a telepathic mind bridge thus the title of the book.  The story also illustrates some of the dangers of telepathic communication.

The book is lauded as being a classic and perhaps it is but it didn't do a whole lot for me.

It's worth reading but it certainly wasn't a book that was going to keep me up at night to finish it.  I enjoyed his Forever War much more than I cared for this book.  Worlds also held greater appeal for me.

 This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
