Rex Burke is a SciFi writer based in North Yorkshire, UK.

When he was young, he read every one of those yellow-jacketed Victor Gollancz hardbacks in his local library. That feeling of out-of-this-world amazement never left him – and keeps him company as he writes his own SciFi adventures.

When he's not writing, he travels – one way or another, he'll get to the stars, even if it's just as stardust when his own story is done.

Third Loch from the Sun by Rex  Burke
"If Douglas Adams were writing his sarcastic sci-fi today but a few degrees of latitude north of London, you would have Rex Burke's "Third Loch from the Sun". The humor is dry, the sarcasm heavy and there are enough contemporary cultural references to" Read more of this review »
Hide and Seek by Rex  Burke
"I'm hooked - and in it for as many books about these folks as possible.

What a fun read. It has everything, characters you care about, stories within stories, heart snd soul and loads of excellent humour.
What a treat." Read more of this review »
Hide and Seek by Rex  Burke
"Brilliant ending and a great sequel

I like the world building, planets on the outer reaches, feels real, likeable characters and some unlikeable characters but they get what they deserve. I'd like to know that the ending started it's own story would " Read more of this review »

I didn't much enjoy this even though I've adored his books in the past. He's hugely knowledgable, obviously, and it's science-heavy, which again, I usually like – but the 2D characters explain things to each other all the time so that we get to hear ...more

Fun and fast-paced – and very meta. A sort of story within a story, which makes sense on its own terms but is completely bonkers when you step back from it. If this doesn't get you into Scalzi, nothing will. ...more

A decent read with some interesting ideas. The ending was a bit of a damp squib, until you realise it's set up for a sequel – and I'm not sure why they thought they had to change the movie title (to Mickey 17), but it's still a thumbs-up from me. ...more

I never really warmed to the very particular storytelling and writing style in what is a very short novella about a young mother's journey in a climate collapse UK – but the film version with Jodie Comer is excellently done and expands upon the book. ...more
