When I first showed the cover of the new Alex Hunter novel to my 8-year-old son, he nearly pissed his pants with excitement. I told him in my best movie voice “One day, son, all of this will be yours.” as I held my Kindle in front of his face. I often do this,…

Book review: Extinction Bridge – Geoff Brown & Amanda J. Spedding
The Kindle Worlds books are usually pretty entertaining fair. Nicholas Sansbury Smith’s Extinction Cycle series of military science fiction books are very popular with genre readers, and the Kindle Worlds books are a way for writers who are fans of the series to add their own flavour to the Extinxtion Cycle world. I don’t mind a bit of…
Book review: Man With The Iron Heart – Mat Nastos
Sometimes you see a book cover and you simply say “Oh yes! It will be mine!”, such was the case with Man With The Iron Heart by Mat Nastos and published by Cohesion Press. This is one of those books where you barely get to draw a breathe before the next action-packed scene explodes inside…
Book review: Excalibur – Tim Marquitz
As you can probably see from the cover, Excalibur by Tim Marquitz is not a story based on the Arthurian legend, but it is in fact a slice of space opera. One that is part Star Trek and part Starship Troopers, which, in my book, is no bad thing at all. It’s time for The…

Book review: SNAFU: Future Warfare
Although this isn’t the latest SNAFU anthology from Cohesion Press it is one I have been meaning to read for some time. I took my time with it, reading a story here and there in between breaks from novels and other books I have on the go. As you can probably guess from the cover art, ‘SNAFU:…
Book review: SNAFU: Black Ops
The SNAFU series from Cohesion Press has been churning out military infused horror fiction for some time now. With ‘SNAFU: Black ops’ the publishers have enlisted the services of some cool cats like Jonathan Maberry and Nicholas Sansbury Smith, both of whom should be well-known to you if you read a lot of this sort…
Book review: A Living Grave – Robert E. Dunn
With ‘A Living Grave’, Robert Dunn has introduced us to a strong female lead in (Hurricane) Katrina Williams, a Missouri detective investigating the brutal murder of a young girl. Williams has a lot of heavy baggage that she carries around with her. She spent ten years in the army before she left under a cloud…
