J.A. Dalley’s book Starwarden is a direct continuation of his first book in the series The Zochtil. It starts just where that last book left off, and is every bit as good at the first book. The first time I read it was when James showed up to a sci-fi meeting(that we hold each month)...

Earlier this month, we had the distinct pleasure of speaking at length with author Max Allan Collins, crime fiction writer extraordinaire and hand-picked successor of the late, great Mickey Spillane.  Within the scope of that interview, I mentioned that Spillane’s Mike Hammer...

Joe Simon.  Jack Kirby.  Each man a giant in the world of comics, this match-up is as legendary as Martin and Lewis, Tracy and Hepburn, or Lennon and McCartney.  If you just thought “who?” to any of these names amongst names, proceed directly to Google or...

I’ll admit that I’ve never been a huge fan of tie-in novels.  Despite having read my share of them for the site already, more often than not, these type of books make me feel like they’re dragging an episode out.  Worse yet, there are times when it becomes...

Way back at the beginning of the year, which I realize is ancient history where the internet is concerned, I reviewed James P. Blaylock’s return-to-steampunk novel, The Aylesford Skull.  I said at the time that this was part of a series, and that while each volume was standalone,...

In this day and age, we are inundated with zombie stories. In movies, TV, books, and comics the shambling (sometimes running) dead chase us until we find ourselves looking it over and seeing if it tickles our fancy. In this case, Titan Books graciously sent us Plague Nation by Dana...

I’ve said it many times, and I’ll never stop reminding people: my first memory of life is seeing Star Wars opening day on the big screen.  That little movie informed me of a great many things that I would later go on to discover, which includes several points along the...

When Harlan Ellison speaks, you should listen.  I certainly do.  When a man wins 10 Hugos and an honorary doctorate, trust that he earned them and knows what he’s talking about.  In the last 50 years, a number of authors have been on the cutting edge of science...

If you haven’t seen my review already, I am a big fan of author Kim Newman’s Anno Dracula series, through which I discovered his Warhammer titles dealing with a previous version of the Geneviève character that upstages the Anno Dracula line.  I am supremely...

Once more, the good people at Titan Books graciously offer their wares for us to review, and once more I find myself reading something I probably wouldn’t have picked up on my own.  I love this sort of thing, because it’s exactly this situation that encourages me to expand...

Not in my wildest hopes did I expect to see this in this life or the next.  More than that, I’m wondering how this escaped my notice until now. With the 10th annual Tolkien Reading Day upon us on the 25th, my mind naturally turns to thoughts of the J.R.R. Tolkien and his...

1963 saw a boom in the British spy genre after James Bond hit the big screen the year before in Dr. No.  As a result, it wasn’t just the spies who took center stage; a number of creations with a criminal past also lit up the intrigue of the time.  One of the standout...
