The Martian General’s Daughter by Theodore Judson – Review
Cover
The Martian General’s Daughter by Theodore Judson
Despite the presence of the Red Planet and of martial titles, this is not your standard piece of military sf; its 250-odd pages follow 45 years in the life of General Peter Justice Black and his illegitimate daughter, Justa, as civilization collapses back into a pre-industrial mode, helped along more than a little by its supreme ruler, the Emperor Luke Anthony. The Martian General’s Daughter is heavily based upon the fall of the Roman Empire some 2,000 years earlier (although this similarity is never explicitly mentioned).

I get this question a lot: “Now that I’ve self-published I need to find an agent, how do I do that?” Well, it might seem to be a simple and easy transition. I mean you’re already published so it shouldn’t be that hard, right? Not so fast. There are a number of things you need
Prador Moon by Neal Asher – Review

Prador Moon: A Novel of the Polity by Neal Asher I read Prador Moon out of sequence, as I’ve mentioned, so my reasons for liking and not liking aspects of it are tinged by this, but overall, I think it’s a good addition to the series. Though I’d read about Jebel Krong, it was only
Cage Of Night by Ed Gorman – Review

Cage of Night by Ed Gorman Cage of Night is a masterpiece. It is dedicated to Robert Bloch and you will see more than a few similarities between the work of Bloch, particularly Psycho, and Cage of Night. The similarities: the rough and real characters, the stark style, and the mastery of successfully straddling multiple

The Empress of Mars (The Company) by Kage Baker Mars is one of the most iconic and revisited settings in all of science fiction, both as a place of past alien civilizations and future colonization for futuristic frontier stories.

The Crown Conspiracy by Michael J. Sullivan With it’s main duo, a pair of thieves named Royce Melborn and Hadrian Blackwater The Crown Conspiracy will likely draw comparisons to Fritz Leiber’s similarly employed duo. However, other than the professional and physical similarities between the characters (quick small thief, big brawny fighter) it is there any
The Secret Keeper by Paul Harris – Review

The Secret Keeper by Paul Harris The Secret Keeper is a terrific novel. It is very much comparable to the work of Graham Greene, both in its thematic style and plot, but it is also a unique piece of fiction that captures the spirit and challenge of both Sierra Leone and the African continent—nothing is
