Sleepless: A Novel by Charlie Huston
So Sleepless is an apocalyptic crime story plus many other pieces that all add up to literary fiction. Yes, this is a book that is both genre and literary (in spite of having a plot). It is very much a discussion on the human condition – it’s just that most [...]

Sons of Dorn (Warhammer 40,000 Novels: Imperial Fists) by Chris Roberson

Cosmopath (Bengal Station Novels) by Eric Brown
So, another series come to an end and one of my favourites in a while. Although I have a soft spot for psychic detectives Eric Brown delivered a consistently good series and Cosmopath was the icing on the cake. This has the sort of appeal that can bring new [...]
