Review: Monster of the Dark (Mirrors in the Dark #1) by K.T. Belt

August 14, 2022 by Paige Leave a Comment

The cover for Monster of the Dark which shows a woman in a black skin-tight suit walking into a sci-fi city.

Monster of the Dark is one of the 2021-22 SPSFC Finalists! I read it as part of the judging process.

Review: Duckett & Dyer: Dicks for Hire (Duckett & Dyer #1) by G.M. Nair

August 7, 2022 by Paige Leave a Comment

the cover for Duckett and Dyer which is illustrated in shades of blue with people, a gun and a grappling hook on it.

Duckett & Dyer is a SPSFC Finalist for the 2021-22 batch! I read it as part of the judging process.

I’ll admit right off the bat that I don’t tend to pick up comedies, so I wasn’t sure how I would get on with this one. But, thanks to the SPSFC, I gave it a go and found that actually I quite enjoyed it! Nair knows how to write comedy and kept throwing unexpected surprises at me through every turn.

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: A Touch of Death (The Outlands Pentalogy #1) by Rebecca Crunden

May 10, 2022 by Paige Leave a Comment

A Touch of Death is a semi-finalist in SPSFC.

would enjoy, and I was right. This book takes the apocalyptic sci-fi genre and somehow makes it it’s own.

Review: What Branches Grow by T.S. Beier

May 8, 2022 by Paige Leave a Comment

hat Branches Grow is one of the SPSFC semi-finalists and was assigned to FanFiAddict in the semi-finals.

This is very much the story of a journey. Early on Delia and Gennero meet and Gennero ends up following Delia into the wastelands. Somewhere along that journey he decides he doesn’t want to return to the town he lived in, and instead befriends her and joins her on her quest to reach a mythical city that isn’t ravaged by the wastes. I enjoyed all of the nods to other post-apocalyptic worlds.

Review: Lost Solace by Karl Drinkwater

May 2, 2022 by Paige 1 Comment

Lost Solace is a semi-finalist in SPSFC and was assigned to FanFiAddict in the semi-finals.

Lost Solace starts in the middle of the action, at some point in the past Opal has stolen a ship and hacked the AI so it is helping her. The backstory to this gets revealed slowly over the course of the book and it’s so well woven into the narrative. We quickly find a lost ship and the story really goes from here.

Review: Dead Star (The Triple Stars #1) by Simon Kewin

March 8, 2022 by Bender Leave a Comment

Top notch sci-fi read. A true epic space opera that brings multiple sci-fi elements from religious Zealotry, Oppressive Overlords, Ancient civilizations, FTL travel and Lost mysteries all together into one sublime piece of sci-fi brilliance!

Review: Zero Day Threat (The Ungovernable #1) by R.M. Olson

March 6, 2022 by Paige Leave a Comment

the cover for zero day threat which shows five people standing in front of a futuristic jet

Zero Day Threat is a semi-finalist in the SPSFC! This is my personal review and does not reflect the thoughts of the rest of my team.

Zero Day Threat has a trope that we all love, found family. R.M. Olsen takes a ragtag group of criminals and turns them into a family, who might fight at times, but ultimately work together to perform a heist to steal a piece of technology. We mainly read from Jez’s point of view, an incredible pilot who can perform every manoeuvre possible with her arms tied behind her back, literally.
