😆😆😂🤣🤣 The intro alone is worth an emphatic sub. This book sounds bonkers. 😆

Just discovered you. You are very good and entertaining. Review some Doc Savage.

This sounds like a blast. A head seeking laser blast. 😆 Great review.

If you enjoyed Dimension,you can't miss Mindswap: even better,a totally wild one!

Great book! It reminded me of Poul Anderson’s Time Patrol and Isaac Asimov’s The End of Eternity, especially toward the end. I also thought the ending really elevated Dinosaur Beach from good to great. I loved the ambiguity of what exactly becomes of Ravel in that very last moment. Does he get a happily ever after, or does he share the fate of (spoiler)? It could be either, or maybe both in a sense.

Great review, Jake. Funny intro and the review itself was so well thought out that I’ll know to save myself the trouble with this book.

Build a wall. Keep those peppers out. Not the orange ones though - they are the same skin colour as a certain racist president

That intro, pure cinema. You're the next Herk Harvey.

I know what that is in the corner at 16:30. It's a four day weekend.

If you need a "dead cat" (UK saying) my favourite book cover is Norman Spinrad, The Solarians. Published by Paperback Library 1969. It's the legs....

I know I'm a pedant but the Keith Roberts book is 'Par - Vein', named after the slow, waltz like dance, not 'Par - ven - ee'.

Oh man, your intro's just keeping getting funnier and funnier. Also, you're actually a pretty good actor. "clearly not his fault." hahah you're ridiculous.

Different scenes at the same time?!?....shoot me now. Great entertaining review as always Jake!

Who hurt you? (Was it me?) A great review of a book that sounds interesting and you saved me the trouble.

its a fun intro, i liked the joke. i just have a feeling for the future Seeing the way your new government is starting 2025 makes me feel like this kind of joke will age Like (hoping its not going to be but it feels like) Berlin wall germany / post berlin wall germany

lol, great review. I think I might skip this one, even if I find it in the wild super cheap. Even though that cover is pretty good!

I really wish you guys would start keeping a list of gonzo bonkers novels. I’m looking for the prose equivalent of the movie Eliminators - ninjas, jungle adventures, time travel, Roman soldiers, Mandroid, Denise Crosby - but in book form.

Pretentiousness is the pitfall that any writer can stumble into. POV hoping is difficult even for great writers. To include animal POVs is ... a choice. Great review. The joke that led to your opening was to sophomoric to post in the first place. It annoyed me but i won't unsubscribe over it.

That intro was fantastic 😂. Great review and I will just trust your judgement and find something else to read.

I think you’re review of this book is all I need of this book. Thanks!

Fab video! :)

The intro. The Neil Breen. That sexy guy at the end. I can't compete with content like this. Also, I have Cycle of Nemesis! I feel like i should try to read that before you post your review...

This is for you having to make that thing at the beginning. 🙄🙄🙄 This is for the fun review. 😄😄😄🤣

Great review. It sounds like a new author who has promise but was trying too hard. Jumping around in the narrative to the point it becomes very confusing makes it seem almost as if he was attempting stream of consciousness, like James Joyce's Finnegans Wake or Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse. It was a little pretentious of Guy Snyder to write as if he was already a literary genius, and a little unfair to his readership who was probably expecting simple entertainment with a bit of a twist. Not a genius work they have to slog through and in interpret like some poor undergrad trying to pass an English literature exam!

You told an off-colored joke! Wait.....can I say that!!??

😂 We love you, Jake!

Jake reads one Spinrad novel and we get an open like that 😂

As of today, Secret Fire Books, LLC will be severing all ties with Mr. PulpMortem. Not because of his racist jokes, but because of his calous disregard for dead squirrels.

lol. thank you

Quoting Neil Breen has elevated your work to the next level(?) Testament XXI sounds like a fine premise that was much better done but much better writers. Leave this one in the thrift store bin and read 'A Canticle for Leibowitz' or 'Book of the New Sun' or...anything else. Thanks for the warning, Jake. You suffer so we don't have to.

First thumb up!

If you know Norn' Irishers you'll know he's only "takin' the p!ss" with that bio, seriously. The bit about "writing professionally as a hobby" is hilarious. Typically dry Northern Irish wit :D

Black Easter was reprinted in last summer. I’ve read that one and A Case of Conscience, which won the Hugo Award, though I preferred Black Easter. I don’t mind fix-up novels. My favorite fix-up is Stormbringer, by Michael Moorcock.

Never disappointing

I don't know, Jake. This might be the Alex Jones video all over again.

🤷🏻

When I was in the Army, I served with a lot of different people. Some of the African-American soldiers were father figures to me and taught me to be a decent person and a leader. I’m really struggling today because my country has elected someone with a platform which says non-whites shouldn’t be hired at the VA because they don’t represent the typical veteran. If you’re interested, the section on the VA begins on page 641 of Project 2025 and it’s full of policies that discriminate against my brothers in arms. I don’t know what you’re going for here. Humor or something? It just comes across as insensitive and not reading the room. It’s not what I signed up for anyways. I’m interested in books, not cringey meme takes. It’s your channel bro, you do you. As for me, I’m out of here. Peace.

😂

I see you're celebrating your 1000 subscriber achievement by creating un-subscribe content already. Very Jake.

Stop pepper discrimination. Cancel Albertsons!

More like...systemic produce...prejudice...producidice... There's a joke in there somewhere.

Just awesome

What about misogynistic march ?

I got that reference. His heart is in the right place. Any other pastiches planned? Can we nominate?

The 'Of Man and Manta trilogy' (Omnivore, Orn and 0X) is my favourite. I'm intrigued to hear what you make of it. And Philip Jose Farmer is excellent. He also wrote a 'biography' of Doc Savage.

As a 2000s kid who's been to the actual Bibleman soundstage, that was a reference I was not ready for. I was cracking up. Also, your opening sequences are getting better every time! I'm really loving them!

Great video! My wife watched, too! If you start hosting a late night old SF movie TV show, let us know.

You had me at genetically modified potatoes. The book you described sounds like it’s a 5000 page trilogy. Also I will defend to my decapitated death the brilliance of a dicapitating ray gun. Awesome vid dude
