First, I must apologise for the lateness of this post. The review copy of the book didn't arrive until Thursday and I've had a cold most of the weekend. As you may recall, back in 2017, Del Rey released the first volume of 'From A Certain Point Of View' which consisted of 40 stories by... Continue Reading →
Del-Rey have now released the paperback version of Star Wars~ The Rise of Skywalker Expanded Edition by Rae Carson. I reviewed the Hardback when it came out in March which you can read here:- My views haven't changed, in fact it enhances the watching of the film. The only real difference other than it being...

There are currently over 860 Star Trek novels that have been published since the late 60's. I've got around 99% of the books published between the late 60's and the early 90's.

When Star Trek ended its initial run both in the US and UK, Trek fans were pretty much starved of new stories and re-runs of the show were always intermittent and shown out of order. Of course we had the novels by James Blish which retold, and expanded upon, all of the original episodes. There... Continue Reading →
Shadow Fall, written by Alexander Freed, is the sequel to his 2019 book, Alphabet Squadron which told the story of a one-of-a-kind unit put together by General Hera Syndulla with one mission:- hunt down and destroy Shadow Wing who are an elite wing of Tie-Fighter pilots. Continuing on from the previous book, the victory over... Continue Reading →
This will no doubt be the shortest review I've ever written. I was looking forward to Disney's Artemis Fowl having read the books by Eoin Colfer which are excellent. All I can say is this:- Disney. WTF have you done- such great source material and you really messed it up. The plot line barely resembles... Continue Reading →
