Now in bite-sized format: the mass market edition of Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie. Now even more bad-ass...

If you ask me, there are way too many good-looking people in fiction. I get why attractive people dominate film and television. That’s no mystery. People like looking at pretty people. It’s built into us. I’...

I first encountered Hegel and Manfried Grossbart as a child in an old book my parents picked up at a garage sale—Trevor Caleb Walker’s Enter the Nexus, Black Monolith. No...

As always we’ve got news and much more coming up for you later this week but wanted to pause briefly to let you know what you might have missed, last week. And, if hadn’t time to read any of our posts yet — well, now’s your chance. Orbit ...

Don’t tell me you haven’t read Tom Holt yet! You love Douglas Adams, read Terry Pratchett, dabble in some A. Lee Martinez, but you haven’t discovered Tom Holt? Well, now is your chance. A hu...

That’s how the Sydney Morning Herald has described Marianne De Pierres’ phenomenal Sentients of Orion series. Out this week is the fantastic third instalment of the series, Mirror Space (UK/ AUS), and readers are in for a treat. We...

Someone asked me recently how many conventions I had been to. And sadly the answer to that is so many that I have no idea. I’ve been to at least one a year for the past few years and probably as many as three a year in some cases. ...

Another great urban fantasy debut! TEMPEST RISING is the story of Jane True, outcast, night swimmer, and half-selkie. It’s a fabulous world full of characters straight out of myth, from rock gnomes that bag groceries to a sea pony named Trill. ...
