Booklist

Those Who Walk In Darkness - John Ridley

In the near future, the world has become home to certain people with amazing genetic structures--giving them powers that make them frighteningly superior to normal humans.

I really enjoyed this book. While you'll recognize elements from other books, comics and movies, Ridley makes them his own with a fresh take. 4.5 out of 5.

Getting Back - William Dietrich

It's the late 21st century and all's right with the world, which is exactly what's driving Daniel Dyson nuts. Unemployment, hunger, war, are all in the past since mass privatization has revolutionized the quality of life and the entire planet is now run by the ultra-efficient United Corporations, a single entity with a name that speaks for itself. Dyson loathes his drone-filled office in the Pacific Northwest, and the feeling is mutual. He resorts to small acts of sabotage for minor thrills until he encounters beautiful and dangerous Raven, who tells him about Outback Adventure.

Not your standard boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-finds-girl and they make out book. That's the underlying story in this one, but everything else about this book makes it a definite good read and one to pick up. 5 of 5 from me.
