Andy Goldman has been writing since he was a little kid bashing out stories on his typewriter. They were often incredibly silly firsthand accounts of the adventures of his Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Star Wars action figures. Fast forward thirty years and Andy is still playing with toys and telling stories, much to his delight. The typewriter, alas, did not survive.
One or two other things have changed in the interim, the most important being his marriage to a wonderful, supportive wife, and the introduction of two beautiful, intelligent, and spirited daughters who very much encourage Dad's toy-buying habit, especially when it comes to Lego.
Andy’s work is heavily influenced by growing up in the 80s and 90s, and mixes western SFF with manga a

I will generally read anything by Stephenson at this point. Some work for me better than others, but I am not surprised that there is a lot of dense information dumping amidst the tense action sequences. Here the dense to tense ratio felt like 90/10, ...more

I think if you come at this book as its own entity, it stands up well. If you’re looking to it as something to bring you right back into the world of the His Dark Materials books, well, it’s not there yet, but it looks to be heading there.

Quotes by Andy Goldman  (?)

“I'm sorry if humans mistreated your people in the past, but if we don't join together now, it's time to admit that we're all just keeping busy while we wait for the Earth to die.”
Andy Goldman, The Only City Left

“Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say, Napoleonic times.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

“He had a tremendous wang, incidentally. You never know who'll get one.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

“She feels the things she herself owns as a sort of pressure. Other people's objects exert no pressure. Margot thinks that Cayce has weaned herself from materialism, is preternaturally adult, requiring no external tokens of self.”
William Gibson

“We apply reality from within. The world is our perception of the world. So what other people think of you, famous or not, is an independent construct taking place in their brain, and we shouldn’t worry too much about it.”
Russell Brand, Revolution

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
Frank Herbert, Dune
