My Solo review: a good movie and good to see Han’s intro, but I didn’t need everyone’s backstory. 3 out of 5.
Ready player one is the ultimate thriller to keep you glued to your seat for the entire show. The movie is based on a novel by Ernest Cline released in…
My military SciFi picks of 2017: the Warp Marines, Scalzi’s Collapsing Empire, a lucky-hero apocalypse and one series I’d skip.
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…
No Price Too High widens the Warp Marines’ war to a whole planet with real ship combat. A worthy sequel that I gave 8.8 out of 10 and pretty much inhaled.
Decisively Engaged starts the Warp Marine Corps series with aliens, small unit combat and a Boxer Rebellion plot that bugged me. Highly recommended.
Terry has written a couple of books that I’m quite fond of (namely his Empire of Bones saga, reviewed here, and here) so I thought this one was…
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”…
My Resident Evil The Final Chapter review: the Red Queen and Alice finally get an explanation, but I wanted the battle for Washington. 3.5 out of 5.
My military SciFi picks of 2016, from Flagship and Steel World to the Slaver Wars, plus the older favorites I’d still hand to a friend.
My Rogue One review: a much better Star Wars with a real story about the stolen plans and heroes who don’t all make it. 3.8 out of 5.
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…
This is a novel by James Blish, a notable science fiction writer who began releasing stories in 1940, before that, he was a member of the Futurians, along with Issac…
While this series of books is numbered differently based on where you look, I think if you were to read it in the correct sequence you should follow the path…
This story takes takes place between the movies Star Trek 5 & 6, detailing the proceedings of peace talks between the Federation and the Klingon empire that came to a…
Loved it! OK that’s it – you can stop right here if you want the pure unvarnished truth about my feelings on this book. However if you want to know…
Star Trek – Enterprise, Daedalus & Daedalus’s Children I tried to enjoy this story, but it was an unpleasant experience for me. It starts with the Enterprise NX01 crew investigating…
Probably the book I enjoyed the least in the series as while it continued the Slaver Wars story very closely & kept our favorite characters close, it had too many…
Having gone to school for Television Writing, I have a decently sizeable social circle of snobby boob tube connoisseurs. One would assume that some discourse surrounding Syfy’s The Expanse would…
Continuing on from the quite interesting Slaver Wars: Alien Contact, Moon Wreck takes us in a completely different direction than the one I was expecting. This time, we’re not exposed…
