Nick Snape has been steeped in Science Fiction and Fantasy since his friends first dragged him from his schoolwork and stuck a book under his nose. Lost to the world of imagination he became a teacher by accident though he thoroughly enjoyed developing the joy of reading and writing in his pupils. Having retired after thirty years he thought it was high time to practise what he preached.

Pulsar Sky has an old-school space opera vibe enhanced by the author’s obvious love for history and the ships that sailed our seas. However, here Lejeune has transported us into space, sailing the stars but with that same love for a well-trodden scif ...more

A Queen in Blood by Nick Snape
"I was skeptical of the first book, but could not deny its impressive setup.

I enjoyed the second book, which revealed deeper narrative layers and ramped up the stakes.

Hall of Bones by Tim Hardie
Rate this book
Clear rating
I picked up the Hall of Bones expecting a Norse-inspired fantasy, perhaps with a grim undertone, having heard much of Hardie’s writing style. On audiobook, it also had the bonus of RJ Bayley at the helm, and therefore the usual super high-quality nar ...more

Okay, it’s brilliant.

But…

To begin this review, I needed to solidify my thoughts, so browsed some of the past reviews, and did my usual thing and read a few of those 1/2/3 star ratings. Why? This is a long book, with a lot of rich complexity and depth

I listened to The Scroungers via audiobook with RJ Bayley’s sublime narration. He adds such depth to a book, and here his voice was perfect for The Scroungers which is both grim and very dark. The vast majority of this novella has a low fantasy tone ...more

Last Outlaw by Lee Hall

I came into this novella on the back of a recent penchant for loving western style scenarios and settings for unusual genres. Be this fantasy, fantasy scifi or even Lovecraftian elements. It was a logical step to enter the realm of western horror, an ...more
