I picked up Clone Rebellion: Republic and instantly thought “Star Wars. The Clone Wars”. How could I not?

Kent’s sci-fi series is far more likely to appeal […]

Marvel introduces Marvel
This tribue animation is pretty cool. It’s done by BlackMeal and is exactly the sort of thing that could be used in Blu-ray opening titles.

Wizards without Coats: Donkeys
The enemy are a strange and bizarre people.
After America review
After America is the sequel to John Birmingham’s Without Warning. It’s very much part two of a trilogy. I don’t think it is possible to pick up and dive into After America without having read Without Warning, although the first book is good so worth reading anyway, and it rather does leave you wanting to […]

God of War II by Robert E Vardeman review
God of War might not spring to mind as a computer franchise to cross the media streams and manifest as a series of novels but it’s done just that. On reflection perhaps it’s not that surprising. After all, Kratos and his struggles are firmly inspired by Greek mythology. Players of the game will have heard […]
