Alastair Miles was born in Kent in the 70s, which seems like an increasingly long time ago. He works as a design engineer, or a close approximation of one, and he loves all things space related. He combines elements of humour, space exploration, science fiction, philosophy and adventure in his works. His writing competes with other interests in whatever spare time life is prepared to grant him.

Armies of Light and Dark by Peter David

Peter David was an amazing writer. The sheer number of books he produced was nothing short of incredible. This is the second book of his trilogy in the Babylon 5 universe. It falls short of a five for me because of some passages where plausibility we ...more

Tom Ripley is a a schizophrenic murderer. He wants money, success and the good life and he's willing to kill for it - should the mood take him.

This is a book that was recommended to me - and I went for it because it's not the sort of thing I normally

I bought a copy of this book alongside Mike Mullane's Riding Rockets. I'd been recommended the former and this came up as a companion read.

I admit I was a little sceptical. Mike Mullane's book is an emotional rollercoaster, funny and tragic from page

I picked this up at my office's reading library as it looked fun and the idea is intriguing.

It does come across as something that was supposed to be a film or possibly a TV series. The author is brilliant at painting a scene with a deft sentence or t

Many years ago, my mother, by chance, happened to meet Lee Child's mother at some function or other. They got to talking and LC's mum mentioned that her son's first book had done rather well and he was writing more. She thought they were a bit violen ...more

Purgatory Mount by Adam Roberts

What a pity. Going off the back cover it looks like a cracking read. I found the start to be a bit frustrating, in that it doesn't grab you from the get go. In fact, if this was a first novel, I suspect it wouldn't have made it past the slush pile. H ...more
