I didn’t have a post scheduled today so I’m throwing up a book tag at the last minute. I know GASP I rarely do book tags! This one sounded fun. I saw this recently on Maddalena’s blog and it’s perfect for SciFiMonth. Also, I’m using science fiction books as the answers to all the prompts, […]

SWASHBUCKLERS by Dan Hanks – Review
Posted November 15, 2021 by Tammy in 3 1/2 stars, Reviews / 18 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Dan Hanks blends 80s nostalgia, portal fantasy and parenthood in this fun romp/quest to save the world.

The nitty-gritty: Another fantastic entry into the Africanfuturism subgenre, Noor blends sci-fi tech with interesting characters and an intriguing African desert setting. I’ve read enough Nnedi Okorafor books now to recognize her particular writing style, and Noor not only embraces that style, but it’s full of the author’s brilliant, futuristic ideas and social commentary.
