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.

The Case of Prose and Cons is one of those books that takes talent to write and write well. Despite its irreverent, light-hearted take on urban fantasy combined with elements of X-Files, Warehouse 13 and any other TV show where historical magical obj ...more

So we have part two in the grimdark gaslamp romantasy of the Tainted Dominion. Emotionally damaged by the first? Nerves rubbed raw by a world that regards tainted children as if they were just another resource to use and discard?

Iconic by A.J.  Gordon
Rate this book
Clear rating
I do love a book that starts with a despotic ruler getting their comeuppance, only to find out, as with most revolutions, that who you replace them with is worse.

Part ghost story, part police investigation, part mystery, I didn’t know what I was in for when I opened this book. Well, Long doesn’t disappoint.

When I heard about the fifth book in this series, I jumped at an ARC copy, as in Mark Franklin we have 'that' hero. Okay, his life is a mess, his cat is not always the best-behaved, and his friends are kind of oddballs, but at least his ex-wife is ba ...more

The McMurdo Rift series had me hooked from the beginning. From the opening chapter of book 1, with an Earth desperate and facing possible annihilation, to the complexities arising in book 3 when we get hints of a much bigger threat to humanity, exper ...more

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

Reviewing a science fiction book for children?
Yes.
And a brilliant one too!
My dim and not-so distant past was spent as a headteacher (principal for those of you on the other side of the Atlantic) with a deep-seated drive to teach children to read. My
