Nexus by Ramez Naam

Review: “Nexus” by Ramez Naam

January 30, 2013 by Laith Preston 1 Comment

Nexus is a thriller for the post-human age, Ramez Naam does a phenomenal job of taking modern cutting edge science and building a realistic world of the near future. In Nexus, Naam asks the question, “what if?”.

Star Trek FAQ

Review: “Star Trek FAQ” by Mark Clark

November 24, 2012 by Laith Preston

As a solid Trek fan I am always on the lookout for good books on the franchise, and Star Trek FAQ comes through in spades.

Discount Armageddon by Seanan McGuire

Review: “Discount Armageddon” by Seanan McGuire

April 20, 2012 by Laith Preston 1 Comment

The world is a fairly orderly place, talking mice, gorgons, Chupacabra… these are things of fairy tales, mythology and supermarket tabloids. Not so in Seanan McGuire’s new novel Discount Armageddon, the first book in her new “InCryptid” series.

Alien Contact

Review: “Alien Contact”, edited by Marty Halpern

March 1, 2012 by Laith Preston 4 Comments

I’m always on the lookout for good reading and new authors to follow. Alien Contact is something of a veritable who’s who of the current genre greats, with some names I’m not as familiar with in the mix as well.

With twenty-six short stories telling tales of man meeting with other intelligences, Marty Halpern has pulled together an anthology filled with hours of enjoyable reading.

Empire State by Adam Christopher

Review: “Empire State” by Adam Christopher

December 22, 2011 by Laith Preston 2 Comments

Rocket powered superheros, prohibition era bootleggers, private eyes, mysterious men in masks; and more twists and turns than you can imagine. Welcome to Adam Christopher’s Empire State, a Superhero-Noir Science Fiction story set in a dark distorted reflection of New York City of the ’30s.

Roil

Review: “Roil” by Trent Jamieson

December 5, 2011 by Laith Preston

Trent Jamieson’s Roil, the first book in The Nightbound Land duology, promises… and delivers.

The Last Dragon by Jane Yolen and Rebecca Guay

Review: “The Last Dragon” by Jane Yolen & Rebecca Guay

December 1, 2011 by Laith Preston 3 Comments

Wow, I really don’t know where to start with this review. Do I begin with the beautiful art of Rebecca Guay, or wax poetic on the enthralling story crafted by Jane Yolen?

Debris by Jo Anderton

Review: “Debris” by Jo Anderton

November 22, 2011 by Laith Preston 4 Comments

Jo Anderton’s debut novel is a compelling tale which pulls you in right from the start. Debris is told from the point of view of the protagonist Tanyana, and as the story progresses she searches for the truth behind her change of circumstances and meets a number of interesting characters along the way.
