Review: The Veil by Eamonn Bradley
Synopsis: They would have you believe, (the police and mainstream media), that I, Charlie Macall, and my friends, were the deadliest killers since Manson or Bundy. That’s only half true. Yes, we’ve killed, but to put us in the same category as those two I’ve just mentioned, is wrong, a fallacy. For starters, they’d have […]

Review: Making History by K.J. Parker
Synopsis: KJ Parker’s new novella is a darkly witty historical fantasy. A group of scholars are asked to do the impossible by a ruthless king. The cost of refusal being death, of course. History isn’t truth…it’s propaganda. Academics can be cocky. Atop their perches of authority high above the thrumming masses of the unquestioning world […]
