| Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  In fiction, Stephen Baxter's The Massacre of Mankind "is appropriate for young adult audiences, with violence that is both moderate and not too explicit. Sf aficionados and in particular [H.G.] Wells admirers will want to place this title on their 'To-Read' shelves." In nonfiction, Brian Patrick Eha's How Money Got Free: Bitcoin and the Fight for the Future of Finance is "a great choice for anyone interested in technology, finance, politics, or the currency they spend." Heretics! The Wondrous (and Dangerous) Beginnings of Modern Philosophy, by Steven Nadler, with illustrations by Ben Nadler, is one of two starred graphic novels this week. "Highly recommended to general readers with even a passing interest in the thinkers and thoughts in question; near essential for philosophy students or those who want a head start on learning more about the subject." And in e-originals, Santino Hassell's Illegal Contact illustrates "the many different types of bonds and relationships men can develop.... Readers of LGBT romance will fall in love with this unlikely pair [of protagonists] and their journey to find trust and respect for each other and themselves."
