Tales of Tamriel – Vol. II: The Lore scoops up the in-game texts you can find as you play, combines it with exclusive artwork, and produces a mythology for fans. The Lore will […]
Huge, hard sci-fi: A review of Bowl of Heaven
Bowl of Heaven is a combined project from sci-fi faves Larry Niven and Gregory Benford. I’m in the interesting position of having read both Bowl of Heaven and the followup Shipstar based on recommendations for the latter of the two. Bowl of Heaven is harder to get into and ends in such a way that […]
A preview of Snowpiercer 3: Terminus
Snowpiercer continues to roll and roll. I first became aware of the chilling title when concept art and music for the film was published. I was lucky enough to get to review the first comic book over a year later. Geek Native caught up with Snowpiercer 2 in an Irregular Reconnaissance column and now with […]
Dr. Seuss meets Edgar Allan Poe: The Cat with a Really Big Head review
The Cat with a Really Big Head is a collection of short stories, poems if you will, from Lenore artist and author Roman Dirge. Lenore is kinda cute, kinda morbid but The Cat with a Really Big Head is far darker and it is easy to believe stories like Monsters in my Tummy were written […]
Beauty in combat: A review of the Art of Total War
The Art of Total War by Martin Robinson is a great supplement for any fan of the Total War computer game series. This is not a book with tactical tips or tricks. This is simply a book that dives deep into the stunning artwork and visuals the game is associated with. You’re in safe hands […]

Damn drones: A review of The Heart of Valour
The Heart of Valouris the third book in Tanya Huff’s Confederation sci-fi series. We follow a bold as brass and highly effective female NCO as she leads her troop of alien allies against the might of The Others. I really liked the first book, I wasn’t sure about The Better Part of Valour but this […]
A blended potion of comedy and darkness: A review of Finn Fancy Necromancy
Finn Fancy Necromancy flips between humour, which is sometimes slightly immature, like magic eating Pac-man butt tattoos and rather dark subjects like family tragedy and mental health. The opening premise is very strong. Finn Gramarayre is returning to our world after a 25 year long exile to the Other Realm. He was exiled when he […]
The end of the line: A review of Plague World
Plague World is the third and final in the Ashley Parker series. If you’re looking for an easy read zombie trilogy to get your teeth into this Halloween then Dana Fredsti’s Plague Town, Plague Nation and then Plague World set is certainly one to consider. The book’s titles rather give away the escalation of Walker’s […]
