I often see author profiles that talk about being lifelong storytellers and coming up with wild ideas since they were kids. It'd be nice to say that of me, but that's not how it went.
When I was about eighteen a friend asked me, out of the blue, to help write some stories for a comic book he was working on and, while it never came to anything, trying it made me realise this was something I enjoyed.

I then spent many years intermittently trying to write books and short stories, none of which were particularly good and most of which were pretty half-hearted.

Not a bad start to a new year of reading. I wasn't especially fond of the format (the story being told in the aftermath to an audience where most of them don't believe a word of it), but the story itself was very good. There was a minimum of sciency ...more

Maybe I'm being unfair to this book, but after reading Luther: First of the Fallen, this was a bit of a let-down. Yes, it was well-written and had a few real gems in it ('Angels of Caliban, with me!'), but there was just so much description of the Im ...more

Brilliant - this struck just the right mix of sci-fi and fantasy , which is exactly what you need when dealing with power-armoured space-knights. I've always sympathised with Luthor, as anyone who's ready my earlier DA reviews will know, and I just l ...more
