Onto our second installment in the FUTURES series from Radix Media, which is GUAVA SUMMER by Vera Kurian. One of my favorite titles in the series and contains a rather complex plot of what happens when people have had enough. Sawtelle is a somewhat quiet place, for a place under authoritarian world. We follow on … Continue reading Review: Guava Summer

Review: Forward Series Pt. 2
Starting the part 2 of my review of the FORWARD Series from Amazon Publishing, I kept the order going, so I first listened to Amor Towles' short, YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT YOUR DESTINATION, which was narrated by David Harbour, who was pretty much the perfect voice for this story. Sam drives up to a brand … Continue reading Review: Forward Series Pt. 2
Review: Always Blue
So, since my own story has finally been announced and releasing on October 30th, I plan to read and review each FUTURES story leading up to the 30th. This means that ALWAYS BLUE by John Dermot Woods is up first! We follow Schulz an instructor at the City Academy, who is the foremost expert … Continue reading Review: Always Blue
Review: Forward Series Pt. 1
Amazon recently released brand new original stories in the form of the FORWARD series. Provided to all Prime users for free as e-books along with Audible narration from various actors and actresses in the trendiest sci-fi shows/movies. I managed to get through the first three this past week and unlike some series that are a … Continue reading Review: Forward Series Pt. 1
SYNTH #2: An Anthology of Dark SF
I reviewed the debut SYNTH anthology back in April and I really couldn't wait to dive back into this series curated by C.M. Muller. Volume 2 of the SYNTH: An Anthology of Dark Science Fiction carries on the tone of the previous volume, but considering how high the bar was, it just did not reach … Continue reading SYNTH #2: An Anthology of Dark SF
Review: Severance
Today is part 2 of my reviews in Apex Publication's Back Catalog Blog Tour this month! Enjoy my review of an older title of theirs, SEVERANCE, a remixed generation ship story from former Cracked.com writer, Chris Bucholz. The Argos has spent over two centuries en route to Tau Prius, its destination, but the inhabitants have … Continue reading Review: Severance
Review: A Closed and Common Orbit
I'm still trekking through the Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers on audio book, so I come to A CLOSED AND COMMON ORBIT, narrated by the lovely Patricia Rodriguez and this stand alone sequel to the previous book, was honestly, somewhat of a mixed bag. The reader is re-introduced to Lovelace, the Wayfarer's AI, who was … Continue reading Review: A Closed and Common Orbit
Review: The Demolished Man
I've been meaning to read more hugo winners, so when I finally got around to grabbing the novel which won the very first year it was offered. What do you get when you mix telepathic police, murder, and corp take-overs? Well, you get this book, Alfred Bester's THE DEMOLISHED MAN. For being the very first … Continue reading Review: The Demolished Man
Review: Permafrost
It has been awhile since I have given a time travel story a try, and I was quickly reminded why I actually do stay away from such stories. PERMAFROST by Alastair Reynolds had promise of a thrilling ride, but instead handed out plenty of ideas with hardly a vehicle to carry them in. It's 2080 and humanity … Continue reading Review: Permafrost
Review: Prime Meridian
Few books have impacted me, personally, as PRIME MERIDIAN by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. This one blindsided me by the relatively unassuming(but beautiful) cover. I really couldn't be more happy with this literary, sci-fi novella. Amelia is in a hard place. She finds herself trying to shoestring her budget as she lives with her sister in near-future … Continue reading Review: Prime Meridian
