Review: New Yesterday by Frasier Armitage

March 21, 2023 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

The literary equivalent of paddling in a dingy at the shallow end before being sucked into a riptide and finding yourself white water rafting … but with added time travel!

Review: World Running Down by Al Hess

March 10, 2023 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

There’s a huge amount of love in this book. WRD was meant to be a palette cleanser for me in the all-you-can-eat buffet of space opera sci-fi out there at the moment but it shone as a wonderful book in its own right.

COVER REVEAL: The Knave of Secrets by Alex Livingston

February 13, 2023 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

A big thank you to Rebellion Publishing for giving us the chance to reveal the paperback cover for Alex Livingston’s The Knave of Secrets.

Jeffrey Speight’s second book in The Archive of Evelium sees us return to the world of Evelium and we can’t wait.

Review: The Ten Percent Thief by Lavanya Lakshminarayan

January 13, 2023 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

Lakshminarayan’s narrative style is playful and crushing in equal measure. This makes for a strong debut and a whole new sense of unease about our overreliance on technology.

Review: Paladin Unbound by Jeffrey Speight

December 20, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

Here is an author in their element, having some fun with their craft and delivering some of the best combat scenes I have read lately.

Review: Wrath from the Mountains (The Bane Sword Saga #2) by D.A. Smith

December 16, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

The Bane Sword Saga is picking up momentum. Smith’s ronin rampage is a whirlwind of cursing and slicing that’s not slowing down anytime soon

Review: City of Last Chances by Adrian Tchaikovsky

December 13, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

The City of Last Chances, was carved out of granite by an industrial literary automaton. Everything has been precisely placed to full effect. Its demon-powered factories belch black infernal smoke to power the prose as burn you through the pages.

Review: Yestermorrow by Frasier Armitage

December 9, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

The concept of being able to rewrite our lives to cut out the bad decisions is played out really nicely here, while staying true to the “get in, there’s no time to explain” style of sci-fi that Armitage does so well.

Review: The Immortality Thief (The Kystrom Chronicles #1) by Taran Hunt

September 21, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

A narrative that delivers so hard its “just what the fuck happened here?” hook.

Review: Beware of Chicken: a Xianxia Cultivation Novel (Beware of Chicken #1) by Casualfarmer

July 8, 2022 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

Beware of Chicken by CasualFarmer

When you’re hooked by a book, you’re hooked and Beware of Chicken is a charming – while utterly bizzarre – read that you just need to experience to get it.
