Nostalgia you never knew you had: A Nadia – The Secret of Blue Water review

June 10, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Jules Verne mashup: A review of Master of the World

December 9, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Captain Nemo review

November 6, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Kevin J Anderson is a prolific author who’s written a huge number of great books. Geek Native readers may recall from our interview with the writer that Captain Nemo is one of his favourite efforts. Unfortunately, that’s not the case for this blogger. Captain Nemo is not one of my favourites. The book is a […]

A new edition of Captain Nemo: The Fantastic Adventures of a Dark Genius out and available to buy thanks to Titan Books and popular sci-fi Kevin J Anderson.
