Review: Starship Repo by Patrick S. Tomlinson

Posted on May 21, 2019 by

Starship Repo is the newest novel from the mind of Patrick S. Tomlinson. And honestly, I couldn’t be happier about picking this novel up. I’ve been really craving something like this lately, but I hadn’t been able to put it into words until now. I wanted a space opera with a healthy sense of comedic relief and character building. I got all of that here. Continue reading →

Review: Kingdom of Needle and Bone by Mira Grant

Posted on May 10, 2019 by

Kingdom of Needle and Bone is Mira Grant’s (AKA Seanan McGuire) latest novella, and it is not for the faint of heart. Seriously, I was about eighty percent of the way through this novella when I realized I have compulsively sanitized my hands more than six times while reading. Continue reading →

Posted on May 3, 2019 by

Review: Sworld: The Chronicles of Malick by William R. Harris

Posted on April 23, 2019 by

Sworld is the first novel in the Chronicles of Malick series, by William R. Harris. It’s also Harris’ debut novel (according to Goodreads, at least). It’s a science fiction novel, but that description really doesn’t do it justice. It’s a space exploration novel, sometimes similar in feel to Star Trek, sometimes becoming a thing of its own creation. It’s a detailed and fascinating tale, full of science and trials.

Posted on April 19, 2019 by

Chimera is the third and final novel in the Parasitology series by Mira Grant (aka Seanan McGuire. The series is somewhere between a medical thriller and a dystopian series, in many ways.
