Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennet

BINGO – CITYSCAPE Sancia a thief and a damn good one. She gets hired in the city-state of Tevanne to do the jobs that no one else will be able to get done because Sancia isn’t just any average thief. Sancia is able to put her skin onto any other thing and know it. If she’s touching a wall, she knows where all the footholds are; if she’s touching the floor, she knows what and who are currently on the floor; if she’s touching water, […]

World War V: Part III

City of Mirrors by Justin Cronin

by 1 Comment

This is the third and final novel in Cronin’s vampire trilogy (or as I like to think of it: Cronin’s vampire trilogy for people who actually aren’t too fussed on vampires but just enjoy a big epic story). The first novel, ‘The Passage’, introduced us to the vampire plague and then jumped forward 100 years as the last vestiges of humanity desperately try to hold on to their grip on the world. The second novel, ‘The Twelve’, showed how the best and worst of humanity […]

The first book in this series, The Passage (my previous review), has forced me to do something I haven’t done in a long time: commit to a trilogy. A proper, lengthy, complex trilogy.

A comfortable, enjoyable conclusion to an overall fun trilogy

A stylish start to a trilogy filled with welcomed diversity

The First Sister by Linden A. Lewis

by 2 Comments

A war rages between a coalition of Earth and Mars versus one of Mercury and Venus. Geans vs Icarii. Naturalism versus augmentation. Old versus New. First Sister is the highest ranking member of the Sisterhood, a religious/military organization, on a spaceship called the Juno; her role is part silent counsel listening to all of the soldiers confess and share and part concubine providing escape and pleasure for all of the soldiers on board. That is the role all Sisters play. Lito is an elite Icarii […]
