14. King and Koontz are rather prolific - so they have big, new novels coming before the holiday!

I hardly get out of the K's at the book stores.

The "Dark Matter" Syfy show has a "Firefly" (cult sci-fi show) feel, a spaceship-crew-against-the-universe (giant corporations are the villains, of course). Some interesting future-conjecture like transferring 'minds' across the stars into life-like clones so you can 'take a trip and never leave the farm.' And a persistent, unexplained mystery regarding the crew's identity! And "AI and humanity" issues!

"Wayward Pines" Season 1 was very interesting. That would be a good read!
