The nitty-gritty: A sequel just as good as the first book, Devil’s Gun excels at character development and world-building, with plenty of heart and emotion. “But I am not a soldier,” she said. “We are not fighting anyone or hiring out as mercenaries, are we?” “No, “ he said, coiling hoses to put them away.

I’m feeling nostalgic, and so I decided to dig back into the dark recesses of this blog and find all my old SciFi Month posts. It turns out I’ve been participating since 2014, back when it was called Sci Fi November and hosted by a different team of bloggers! Which means that 2024 is my […]
The nitty-gritty: A high-stakes space opera with political intrigue, Dark Space succeeded in the first half, but lost me in the second. I had very high expectations for Dark Space, simply because Rob Hart co-wrote the book. So it pains me to say this was a mixed bag for me and didn’t even come close […]

Another Sci-Fi Month has come and gone—in the blink of an eye! I was hoping to participate more, but at least I managed to read more SF books than last year (which was pretty sad). I also posted a couple of lists, did a book tag, and participated in two of the four Friday Fives. […]

This is my third year doing this tag, and of course I have all new choices this year. I’m not sure who created this tag, but I found it on Maddalena’s awesome blog:-) SPACE: NAME A BOOK THAT TAKES PLACE IN A WORLD OTHER THAN OUR OWN Hel’s Eight by Stark Holborn. This story takes […]
Every Friday during Sci-Fi Month, you can join in with some fun Friday prompts. Today’s prompt is Upgrade Me and we’re taking a look at books where humans and technology intersect. Think bionic eyes, cybernetic limbs, etc. This prompt was a little harder for me, I had to dig back a few years for some […]
Science fiction is alive and well in 2024, and I’ve got a fantastic selection of upcoming books to get you started on your 2024 TBRs. Please note, this is just a sampling of what’s coming out next year. These are books that are already on my radar (and whose covers have been revealed), but if […]
It’s the first Friday of the month, and the hosts of Sci Fi Month have come up with some fun Friday prompts. Today is When will then be now? and we’re taking a look at our favorite alternate history SF stories. I thought this would be a tough subject, but I did come up with […]
