Navigators of Dune : Great Schools of Dune Book Three by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson

“With their useful fidelity to the vision of the late Frank Herbert, coauthors Herbert (Frank’s son) and Anderson (The Winds of Dune) continue to illuminate heretofore hidden areas of the Dune time line. Fully realized characters and intricate plotting will put this title high on fans’ to-read list.” —Library Journal Starred review, Sisterhood of Dune

Book Review: Iain M. Banks by Paul Kincaid

Reading about the life of a person can go two ways; it can be dry and dusty or full of wit and wisdom. Iain M. Banks by Paul Kincaid falls into the latter with a style that represents Mr. Banks very well, I think.

Mr Kincaid’s biography of this science fiction/fiction master is light, but yet meaningful. It is comprehensive, detailed and enjoyable. Iain Banks’ novels resonated through the world…

Book Review: The Curious Affair of the Somnambulist & the Psychic Thief - Lisa Tuttle

Book Review: The Curious Affair of the Somnambulist & the Psychic Thief – Lisa Tuttle

This book is fabulous fun from Campbell Award winner and George R. R. Martin collaborator Lisa Tuttle. The Curious Affair of the Somnambulist & the Psychic Thief is well written in both style and language to suit the setting. It feels like a good old fashioned Holmes novel – without Holmes.

Instead we have Miss Hill, a young woman who maintains a sassiness in this Victorian era novel. Full of…

Book Review: The Wandering Earth - Cixin Liu

Book Review: The Wandering Earth – Cixin Liu

There are good words on a page, there are bad words on a page. Then there is beauty on a page, and Cixin Liu embodies that. The new anthology of his shorter works titled The Wandering Earth is a beautiful book. From the first paragraph of the first story I was drawn in. Once I had started, I could not put this down.

There is a visual, visceral quality about these stories that tugs at me in a…

Book Review: Time Weaver: Heart of Cogs - Jacinta Maree

Book Review: Time Weaver: Heart of Cogs – Jacinta Maree

This is a novel that I have been looking forward to for a while. Whilst I found the ebook version was messed up with bad structure, it did not prevent me from enjoying the story underneath.

To explain this story succinctly is almost impossible, as so much happens. There is a great mount of room to move, and the series is well set up for a few more volumes yet.

I feel as though the book is better…

Book Review: The Ghost of Robert Brown – P. Wish

This one goes in the ‘could not finish for the sake of my sanity’ pile. I seriously could not read more then two pages before the editor in me was screaming in frustration and annoyance. I was attracted to this book b

We have our lead character decide to investigate the crime scene three times – within two pages. That was enough. This novel was repetitive and is in need of a strong edit. I’m…

Book Review - The Last Board of the Apocalypse: Nina Post

Book Review – The Last Board of the Apocalypse: Nina Post

I have enjoyed Nina Post’s novels, and the re-release of this novel is well warranted. Usually her novels are surreal, silly and always (always) funny. I am happy to report that The Last Condo Board of the Apocalypse is no exception.

What I like even more is that is the beginning of a series (Kelly Driscoll #1). Now for a little about the book:

Kelly Driscoll tracks down monsters for a living,…

Book Review: Alastair Reynolds - Slow Bullets

Book Review: Alastair Reynolds – Slow Bullets

Whilst Slow Bullets is a smaller story (a novella length) and therefore did not have the depth of a Revelation Space novel, I still found myself drawn into this story.

It starts at the beginning of a ceasefire, where we find our protagonist. Scur is a wonderfully written and deep character, given the length of this novel. It is great to see a female kicking butts and taking numbers.

A tense,…

Book Review - Cat Sparks: Lotus Blue

Book Review – Cat Sparks: Lotus Blue

Let me start by saying that I know Cat Sparks, and have been looking forward to reading a novel by her for quite some time. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a copy of Lotus Blue, which has this stark desert picture for a cover. This immediately spoke to me, and I must say that I was not disappointed when I dived into this book.

Set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, the story is all that…

Closure of Satalyte Publishing

#Closure of #Satalyte Publishing @books

In a group email to my authors two days ago, I announced the closure of Satalyte Publishing. This has not been an easy decision to make, but it was a necessary one for me as Owner and Director. In truth, I found that depression had taken a hold, leaving me not in a fit state to run this business for the betterment of the authors or itself.

It has taken me those two days since that email to get…
