| Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  Sebastian Rotella's Rip Crew is one of three starred fiction titles this week. "Gritty dialog rings convincingly with authenticity as Rotella playfully inspects multiple layers of meaning inherent in dialects, news stories, and eyewitness accounts. For fans of tough crime fiction in the tradition of T. Jefferson Parker." In nonfiction, Tim Fernholz's Rocket Billionaires: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the New Space Race "is a compelling narrative that should be of special interest to many with the very recent launch of SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket. Accessible to both young adult and adult readers." This week's starred graphic novel is Transformers vs. G.I. Joe: The Quintessential Collection, by Tom Scioli and John Barber, with illustrations by Scioli. "The manic glee with which Scioli and Barber build their story results in the rare series that will appeal to both fans nostalgic for characters they loved in their youth and enthusiasts of hipper indie comics. Not to be missed." And in e-originals, Nika Rhone "creates wonderful characters that touch readers’ hearts" in Can’t Help Loving You. "With a suspenseful plot, hot sex, and great protagonists, this title is highly recommended."
