  • A Question of Murder
    C. D. Moulton
    11 shortsCritic commentThese are rather standard fare for the detective magazines, though they tend to be among the better type. People who enjoy shorter works will tend to like these. CD is developing into a distinct character, one a person can’t know if he likes or not. The rest of the cast I find rather likeable.- GGL *** ...

He said it was an approach I would  appreciate, considering that I tried to write a story with the type outcome and couldn’t pull it off. I had to turn it into a psychological thing that never worked. Th...

  • CD’s Last Case - CD’s First Case
    C. D. Moulton
    The old CD Grimes handles his last case with the new CD Grimes.Critic commentThis one, I liked. It’s a bit more modern without getting into the 'blow-em-all-up' mode. The old CD is much like a grumpy old man and the new CD is believable. The one thing I didn’t like was the use of confusing characters – in the way they were presented. It becomes clearer as the story proceeds, so...

  • The Later Years
    C. D. Moulton
    Mysteries in the style of the 60’sTakes the original CD Grimes from the early 60s to the mid 70sCritics commentA lot like book one. The detective ages and has a family in a realistic enough way, and the stories are the type printed in the magazines. I personally liked a couple of them and thought they were above average. Moulton shows some talent, which is more than can be said...

  • Iggy - A New Perspective
    C. D. Moulton
    The independently intelligent intergalactic spaceship, Iggy, tells of its adventuresCritic commentThere is a slightly different slant to these stories, as the one 'by' Thing was different, and the individual perspectives of the members of the crew were expressed in the ones 'they' wrote. It is quite a good read . Moulton states firmly that he isn’t going to continue the series ...

  • Gamble On
    C. D. Moulton
    Critic commentActually, a 'meanwhile' for book forty two. TR gets to be a Pinnacle Class ship. The two (books) are funny as hell. Some of the antics of TR as the Pinnacle are beyond hilarious – particularly the description of the 'accidents' that befall … but that would be giving it away.****½ BHHA group is trying to take over the casinos on the vacation worlds.

  • Not Again!
    C. D. Moulton
    The berserker is B-A-A-A-C-C-KCritic commentI seem to start off my critiques of Moulton by saying it is the kind of thing I do not care for, then saying it was quite readable.Moulton tends to a certain triteness in his writings, but overcomes that with the concept and other presentation.One would think that a story about a 'berserk' military machine would be one of those juveni...

  • Do Tell!
    C. D. Moulton
    The crew investigate a world where there seems to be a cyclic growth, then destruction.Critic commentLately Moulton seems fixated in what he calls social dynamics and imperatives. This type of thing would be off-putting to me when looking for a work to read. Such works are most often rather boring and tend to preach.Not the case with Moulton. The story is rather nicely connecte...
