I've read a lot of time travel novels and short stories in my time. I've even watched plenty of time travel movies and TV shows. I'm sure you have as well--this subject has been fertile ground for creative types going back to H.G. Wells. So what, you might ask, attracted me about All Our Wrong… Continue reading All Our Wrong Todays (Elan Mastai)

Six Wakes (Mur Lafferty)
Okay, I know I failed at posting last week. Work has been exceptionally worky lately, and resting doesn't sound much like "writing a thing for the Net about a book". Still, I'm back.

The Liberation (Ian Tregillis)
I'm not traditionally a big fan of steampunk novels. They generally involve far too much leather and steam and dirigibles for my taste, and have far too little story.

He's an author who lives in Toronto and writes fantasy and science fiction that almost uniformly makes me think (which is my favorite kind of book). Spin has been my favorite of his for a long time (check it out here if… Continue reading Last Year (Robert Charles Wilson)
After Atlas (Emma Newman)
I'm often of two minds when it comes to sequels. Especially when I love a book that's something new--the stakes are so high. What if the sequel sucked? At the same time, I'd prefer knowing that, when I read a book, there's something else out there that carries the torch and perpetuates that world or… Continue reading After Atlas (Emma Newman)
