Bastion Station By C. Chase Harwood Published July 19th 2016 Score: 6.9/10 I can’t remember what it was that made me go out and buy this book. I know I found out about it through Amazon’s email adverts, so maybe I am just very easily persuaded. Either way, it was a good buy. A fun …

My Favourite Modes of Interstellar Travel
I apologise for the lack of reviews, and for the lack of content in general. I’ve been reading a lot of shorter fiction lately, and if I stopped to write a review after every story I wouldn’t have any time to read. I’ve also been working on a novel, which has been taking up most …
Humble Book Bundle
Science Fiction by Real Scientists Well, my kindle is now looking like my bookcase; full of interesting books on my ‘to read’ list. I recently bought a package of sixteen science and science fiction books for $15. Well, $20.78 when converted from US dollars. Since cheap books seems to be one thing everyone loves, I …
Travels, Telepathy, and Tadpoles
Travels, Telepathy, and Tadpoles This isn’t going to be like my normal blog posts. I have a number of things I want to talk about, but nothing I really want to spend an entire blog post about. So, strap in for a dose of reviews, advertisement, ramblings, and tadpoles. First of all, I should mention …
Review – A Game of Thrones
A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire #1) By George R. R. Martin Published August 1st 1996 Score: 8.5/10 It’s Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones! How can you not know about it already? What do you need me to say? I guess I should say a bit more, though I …
2016 Hugo Award Winners
2016 Hugo Award Winners I got to watch my first ever Hugo Award Ceremony this morning. I enjoyed Pat Cadigan as the host, and whilst not all the winners were my first picks (which is to be expected in such a diverse fandom) I don’t think there were any undeserving winners. I also feel …
Review – The Many Selves of Katherine North
The Many Selves of Katherine North By Emma Geen Published June 7th 2016 Score: 8 Was looking for a newly published book to read, and once I read the blurb for this book I went straight to Amazon and bought it. I had to interrupt this novel in order to get through the novellas …

2016 Hugo Awards: Novellas
Novella Reviews Well, I didn't get to read all the novellas before voting closed. I couldn't read Slow Bullets and The Builders in time, partly because of my poor time management skills, and partly because J. K. Rowling distracted me with a new Harry Potter story. It was still great fun reading them all. All five are novellas …
2016 Hugo Awards: Novelettes
Novelette Reviews Finally finished reading those in-between length stories, the novelettes. The Rabid Puppies almost got a clean sweep of this category. Two of their nominees (Flashpoint: Titan and What Price Humanity) were from an anthology called There Will Be War Vol.X, which also contains the short story Seven Kill Tiger. Given how much I disliked …
2016 Hugo Award Short Stories
Short Story Reviews I’m not going to get around to reading all the Hugo nominees. Considering just how many categories there were, that was never going to happen. But, there really isn’t any excuse not to read the short stories. Not only are they short, but some of them are available to read free online. …
