Review: The Clockwork Man by E.V. Odle (From The MIT Press ‘Radium Age’ Series)

July 20, 2022 by Frasier Armitage Leave a Comment

Synopsis In the first-ever novel about a cyborg, a machine-enhanced man from a multiverse of the far future visits 1920s England.

Review: Steel Guardian (Rusted Wasteland #1) by Cameron Coral

June 26, 2022 by Paige Leave a Comment

Steel Guardian is a finalist in the first ever SPSFC! I read it as part of the judging process.

Well, when I started this book I didn’t expect it to be as wholesome as it was. It was also a completely addictive read!

Review: Phoenix Extravagant by Yoon Ha Lee

October 15, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

While I have been eyeing the author’s book for a long time, this is my first Yoon Ha Lee read. I was drawn in by the cool dragon on the cover, and a synopsis that sounded unique and interesting. In my opinion Phoenix Extravagant lives up to that billing.
