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: Six Gun Shuffle (Black Sun #2) by David Dixon

April 22, 2022 by Mada Leave a Comment

Synopsis: Snake and the boss have made a lot of enemies, but up until their trip to Yaeger, they’ve never had any beef with Michael Ver, the galaxy’s most bankable popstar-mainly because they hadn’t met him before. After the boss teaches Ver a lesson about the difference between looking tough and being tough, he finds […]

Review: Sinopticon by Xueting Christine Ni (Translator and Editor)

November 20, 2021 by Paige Leave a Comment

collection. Xueting Christine Ni has done an incredible job in translating and editing these stories. They showcase some incredible Chinese Sci-Fi talent that I would never otherwise get to experience.

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.

Review: Hard Reboot by Django Wexler

September 3, 2021 by Manny Henri Leave a Comment

I’m typically not a big fan of reading Novellas and prefer longer formats and this month I read 3, and Hard Reboot was a good one. I would have preferred to read this premise in a longer format to get a better picture of the world, characters and main storyline, but Django maintained my interest and kept me turning pages despite the shorter format.

Review: Phoenix Extravagant by Yoon Ha Lee

July 31, 2021 by Tom Bookbeard 2 Comments

Synopsis Finding work as an artist is hard. Working for a shady government ministry while falling in love with your watcher, who just so happened to kill your sister’s wife, is even harder, not to mention when you’re tasked with rewriting a dragon automaton warmachine that happens to be a pacifist! Jebi is an aspiring […]

Mini-Review: Hard Reboot by Django Wexler

April 30, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

Hard Reboot is a lot of fun, and I think it is really well-rounded for a novella. I was impressed at how author Django Wexler was able to incorporate so many different aspects of a story into only 150 pages.

Review: Day Zero by C. Robert Cargill

April 27, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

Day Zero is a prequel to Cargill’s 2017 release Sea of Rust (which I did not know until my cohort Justin pointed it out in his review). Though not a perfect read, I found this to be worthwhile: definitely entertaining and a little thought-provoking.

Review: Day Zero by C. Robert Cargill

April 23, 2021 by Justin Leave a Comment

Day Zero, as the name suggests, starts at the beginning — well, the beginning of the end — of the human race. See, technology has advanced to the point of true AI, with androids serving most basic functions in society, with the exception of a few that are solely left to the realm of man. For instance, teachers are still human, as are the military, which brings us to the laws of robotics.
