I received a free audiobook from the author with the option of leaving a review. So here goes. This is based on the Perseid Collapse series by Steve Konkoly. Not sure if that makes it fan-fiction, but the characters are unique (to this story), just the “universe” is the same. Pilgrimage has certain elements that set it apart from other […]
Review – Mirror Gate by Jeff Wheeler
I received an ARC from Netgalley with the option of a voluntary review. I previously reviewed the first in the series, Storm Glass, here – http://bit.ly/2ogMHh8 If you bothered clicking the link, you’ll notice I really liked it. I really liked this one too. “Why four stars instead of five?” you say (conversation may not have happened.) Well, here goes. […]
Review: Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett
I received an ARC from Netgalley in return for my honest thought on the novel. The book won’t be released until August 21st and is still in production.

This is the third instalment of the author’s inter-dimensional tale, and while it slips a little (at least for me), it is still well worth reading.

Having discovered an alien message giving details of a technology that creates “bridges” between parallel Earths, a company by the name of Safetrek jumps […]
Review: Lucifer’s Nebula, by CT Phipps
The author gave me a free copy of the audiobook. However, the review was voluntary. Lucifer’s Nebula, the sequel to Lucifer’s Star, which I reviewed here – (http://bit.ly/2BJ3wLb), carries on the story of the Author’s “dark Star Wars,” as it’s often referred to. Cassius, the hero, is a former evil noble turned arms dealer (you’ll see). He’s like a boozy, […]
Review: Lord of the Silver Bow, by David Gemmell
I’ve been a fan of Gemmell for years. I’ve been a fan of the Iliad for years. Having a more prosaic version of the Iliad written by one of my favourite writers sounds like a match made in heaven. Right? It’s right. Lord of the Silver Bow tells the story of the Iliad from the perspective of the Trojans (for the […]
