- Kerry Nietz is a refugee of the software industry. He spent more than a decade of his life flipping bits—first as one of the principal developers of the database product FoxPro for the now mythical Fox Software, and then as one of Bill Gates’s minions at Microsoft. He is a husband, a father, a technophile and a movie buff. He has one previously published book, a memoir entitled FoxTales: Behind the Scenes at Fox Software. A Star Curiously Singing is his first novel.

This is exactly what it sounds like, and it makes me happy we live in a world where this book exists. Surprisingly well written with a good story line, but I felt it was about twice as long as it needed to be.

When I first heard about Amish Vampires in Space I was sure it was supposed to be some kind of a spoof. Quickly, I found out that in fact it was a serious science fiction novel concerning Amish, vampires and space.
Immediately my expectations were much higher, to have this kind of story and not mean it as a spoof, it was supposed to be really good. A novel that was just okay wouldn't do. So maybe I'm just judging this novel too harsh.
Although I still don't really understand why the Amish joined the space ship and the vampires seem at first quite random, it was an okay book. It was indeed what it promised: Amish Vampires in Space. What it didn't do was add something extra to it. It was alright when I was reading it but I didn't feel anything for either the story or the characters.
Additionally there were some weird things. For example, at some point an Amish woman wonders why her husband hasn't called her, while she has never used a phone herself. This seems a weird thought under those conditions. There were some more of these things and also the end, I somehow saw it coming...… (mais)

Not Recommended. Billed as Christian SF.
In fact, UnChristian SF geared to the KKK market.
Depressing, divisive, inflammatory and racist.
Based on derogatory, anti-Muslim stereotypes.
Ugly propaganda from a Divided States of America author.
For truly inspiring and uplifting Christian SFF, read C.S. Lewis or Tolkien.

The best thing about this book is the title. I can’t believe the author managed to make this so boring. I really liked following Jebediah and Sarah, but was bored out of my mind following any of the space crew.
