Review: The Universe After Trilogy by Drew Williams

September 16, 2022 by Scott Leave a Comment

Summary: Drew Williams’s The Stars Now Unclaimed, the first volume of The Universe After series, is a fun, adventure-filled space opera set in a far-future galaxy.“The only thing more fun than a bonkers space battle is a whole book packed with bonkers space battles. Come for the exploding spaceships, stay for the intriguing universe.”—Becky Chambers, […]

Review: A Strange and Stubborn Endurance by Foz Meadows

July 28, 2022 by Ashley Brennan Leave a Comment

The juxtaposition of a culture of repression to one of acceptance set up the foundation for a plot rich in mystery and political intrigue. I would recommend this for anyone who enjoyed “Winter’s Orbit” by Everina Maxwell, also published by Tor in 2021. Tor is understanding what readers want. Written in an elegant prose, A Strange and Stubborn Endurance features a world rich in depth and filled with lush descriptions that readers will melt over.

The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi

March 18, 2022 by Dan Smith Leave a Comment

The Kaiju Reservation Society is wondrous, an adventure in a new world – like Godzilla movies? Read about the ‘real’ thing. This book scratches the Kaiju movie itch for me, I’ve been a huge fan for years, and if you like them, you’ll want to read this.

One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, […]
