The Cruel Stars (The Cruel Stars #1) by John Birmingham

January 2, 2022 by David W Leave a Comment

Combat Intellects, mechs with humans written from a source code, old family dynasties, more advanced tech than you can throw a stick at, and that’s just in the first chapter. It’s a smorgasbord of everything that’s cool about modern science fiction; it’s bonkers in all the right ways. It would definitely suit fans of explosive space battles in series like the Expanse and the body-switching, souls uploaded into chips, and other weird tech of Altered Carbon.

Review: Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes

December 29, 2021 by David W Leave a Comment

Dead Silence is author S.A. Barnes’ lates release (and the first under that name, though the author has a whole portfolio of titles – mostly YA – under the name Stacey Kade). I thought this was a really good read, and it is exactly as billed: it’s the Titanic in space but also murdery with a touch of reality TV.

Justin’s Top 10 Reads of 2021

December 27, 2021 by David W 6 Comments

Oh my gosh, what a year! 2021 has truly been a great year of reading for me. I may not have read the most books of any year this year, but I made up for it by reading more widely than I ever have before. I read my first ever self-published book this year and that proved to be a trend, with the vast majority of my books read being Indie.

Review: Light Years from Home by Mike Chen

December 24, 2021 by David W Leave a Comment

Light Years from Home is Mike Chen’s latest novel, and, in my opinion, it fits right in with the rest of the author’s portfolio. It is a sci-fi story written in Chen’s signature smooth style, with a narrative that includes family drama and alien technology, and a message full of hope. I definitely enjoyed this read.

Review: Swashbucklers by Dan Hanks

December 21, 2021 by David W 2 Comments

Swashbucklers is the latest release by author Dan Hanks (also known for Captain Moxley and the Embers of the Empire). It is billed as a nostalgic 80’s video game action adventure story. If that is purely what you are looking for, I would say this book accomplishes that task.

Review: Far from the Light of Heaven by Tade Thompson

December 17, 2021 by David W Leave a Comment

Far from the Light of Heaven is the latest release for noted SciFi author Tade Thompson (also known for The Wormwood Trilogy and the Molly Southborne series, among many others). This book is about a space mission gone awry. It is very murdery and includes rogue AI plus aliens. I was not the biggest fan of how everything was put together, but read on: this may be the very kind of book you connect with.
