I’ve Turned to a Life of Crime

Or, to be exact, a life of crime reading, all of which began several years ago. Up until then, I would say I read a mixed bag and cross section of genre. And, up until then, I was probably reading close to 80% speculative fiction. I say speculative because at one point I moved from almost exclusively reading SF through most of my teen years, to reading some fantasy, a little paranormal, and some supernatural.

Book Review: Foundryside

Let me just say up front, this is not a book for the faint of heart, and would definitely be PG-13 if not higher given some of the content, themes and descriptions. Including some grisly deaths. Bu…

@kiwi2002 Funnily enough, I posted this while I'm actually on a fantasy reading streak. I discovered Robert Jackson Bennett and read first TAINTED CUP and it's follow up, A DROP OF CORRUPTION. Both excellent. And then, just finished FOUNDARYSIDE book one in another series by him. Equally as good.

Celebrating Military SF

There is one thing you can be sure of, modern science fiction gives us plenty of choice to choose from when it comes to sub-genres. Of course, it all depends on who you speak to about what may, or may not, make it onto the list but, for arguments sake, here are a few of what makes it onto my list:

Book Review: Deep Down Dead

DEEP DOWN DEAD by British author, Steph Broadribb, just oozes authenticity so much so you can almost smell the burnt rubber on the asphalt, and the cordite smoke after each shoot out. It's one of those rare books that when started, is almost impossible to put down. A page-flipping, tense, action-packed crime thriller, that will leave you breathless. Indeed, the frantic pace is one long roller coaster ride that doesn't stop until the last…

@pcora Do you know, I have no idea? *checks phone*

Eh, iOS 18.7.1 is that good or bad?

@pcora You are either braver than I am, or crazier.
