Speculative Fiction Reviews

‘Level Five’ – Killday #1 by William Ledbetter

‘Dust’ a.k.a ‘Pinion’ – Jacob’s Ladder #1 by Elizabeth Bear

‘Anachronism’ by Jennifer Lee Rossman – quirky, energetic, action-packed novella with a sting in the tail.

‘Magic For Liars’ by Sarah Gailey – highly recommended

‘The Shorter Parts Of Valor’ by Tanya Huff

“Alien: Out Of The Shadows” by Tim Lebbon, a full-cast production directed by Dirk Maggs – abandoned at 40% in favour of the audiobook version.

‘The Nox’ by Joe White and Catriona Ward – an ambitious audible drama that overreaches itself.

‘Karen Memory’ by Elizabeth Bear – original and engaging steampunk in 19th Century Seattle – highly recommended

‘West Of Prehistoric’ by Erik Testerman – Cowboys, Indians, Dinosaurs and blood-thirsty Neanderthals clash in 1880s Wyoming.
