When Jackie first offered me The Falling Machine by Andrew Mayer I really had no idea what to expect. I’d never heard of the book or it’s author, but I’m always willing to try something new. Also, it didn’t hurt that I’ve been having a good streak with steampunk novels. […]
Terminal World by Alastair Reynolds (May 31, 2011) Spearpoint, the last human city, is an atmosphere-piercing spire of vast size. Clinging to its skin are the zones, a series of semi-autonomous city-states, each of which enjoys a different – and rigidly enforced – level of technology. Horsetown is pre-industrial; in […]
I’m not a huge young adult fan, however, there’s just something about the Morganville Vampires series by Rachel Caine that I simply enjoy. Whether it’s the insane antics of Myrin or the general angst of Michael, Eve, Claire and Shane, there is just something enjoyable about the whole world. The […]

Until, that is, the danui initiate trade negotiations, offering only information: the coordinates for an unoccupied world suitable for human life-a massive sphere, composed of […]
When it comes to steampunk and time travel, I gotta say that The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack by Mark Hodder does it right. Sir Richard Francis Burton–explorer, linguist, scholar, and swordsman; his reputation tarnished; his career in tatters; his former partner missing and probably dead. Algernon Charles Swinburne–unsuccessful […]
I would squeal in delight to explain to you just how much I loved Undone by Rachel Caine, but since you couldn’t possibly hear it I suppose that won’t do. Once she was Cassiel, a Djinn of limitless power. Now, she has been reshaped in human flesh as punishment for […]
