Truth be told, I loved Old Man’s War … not necessarily the whole series mind you, but definitely Book 1. It’s long been a staple and one that I’ve…
Six months into the occupation the Monks have rewritten every human memory, and the Doctor appears to be working for them. The trilogy’s weakest instalment.
I’ve often found that new authors (new to me anyways) have a great first book and then tend to flag in the second or third book in a…
A pyramid appears overnight on a disputed border and the Monks offer to save the world, on one condition: somebody has to surrender to them willingly, out of love.
While I’m definitely more of a fan of the Military SciFi genre, Fantasy titles still have a very large place in my heart. Especially when those titles are written…
A Vatican text drives every reader to suicide, and the reason is the single best twist Doctor Who has pulled in years. Nothing you are watching is real.

Over the years I’ve read a couple of books and series that have started out well, but over the course of multiple books, gotten quite a bit “less good”…
It’s hard to believe that it’s been seventeen years since Hugh Jackman first suited up to play Wolverine/ Logan. I remarked to a friend of mine that Hugh Jackman had…
They always say ” never judge a book by it’s cover”, and while that’s proven to be true on many an occasion this installment is about the latter. More specifically,…
Doctor Who does a straight-faced superhero pastiche, introduces Nardole properly, and gives a grieving Doctor something harmless to do for an hour.
This was another book that was very easy to enjoy. Station Rage has action and intrigue, beginning with some history of DS9 and the Cardassians, building into scenes of espionage…
Ever since I stumbled on the trailer for this movie, I’ve been looking forward to it’s release. Being a Science Fiction fan, clearly the subject matter appeals to me but…
