I would have been all of seven years old, so it is unlikely that I would have … Continue reading Book Review – Hunters of the Red Moon
Book Review – Glasshouse
Book Review-Glasshouse-by Charles Stross Accelerando was the book that sold me on Stross. Probably the book responsible for more "wow" moments in scifi reading in the last decade. Technically, the series of short stories was published in 2005, so I suppose it is more than the last decade. Hair splitting aside, it meant that I … Continue reading Book Review – Glasshouse

Book Review – The Martian
