Twisted Metal by Tony Ballantyne
I’ve never read anything like this before. Ballantyne has created a world where robots evolved, at least that’s what most of them believe, some of them believe in the Book of Robots and that they were created.
Producing parallels to a number of human issues and societies this book non the less never loses its sense of otherness. The robots consider themselves people, they give birth through twisting metal minds and fitting them into tiny bodies. As the minds gain greater lifeforce they can build themselves bigger bodies, giving rise to children, then eventually adults.

The Stormcaller: Book One of the Twilight Reign by Tom Lloyd
The story shows you things which seems familiar on first sight but you discover soon that they are different. Gods, immortals, vampires, elves, trolls and human beings are an unusual mix.
But it works fine and none of these beings appear as you are used to [...]

Life, the Universe and Everything (Hitchhiker’s Trilogy) by Douglas Adams
Life, the Universe and Everything took me longer to read and held my attention less than the first two books in the series. I think that part of this was due to a complicated plot with mysterious white robots showing up everywhere killing people, and characters [...]

Under the Dome: A Novel by Stephen King
Stephen King creates a mesmerizing series of events with complex characters along the lines of the TV program “Jericho,” only better. Not a book for the squeamish, the gruesome reality is set on high, but seems appropriate under the circumstances. This is a classic tale of good and [...]

Darkness Calls By Marjorie M Liu
Darkness Calls is a good second book in a very promising series. It was not quite as good as Iron Hunt, but definitely still very good. I am impressed with this series so far. A little something different with the addition of an alien-esque quality (different creatures from different worlds [...]

Servant of a Dark God by John Brown
The other great positive is the world that Brown creates. The setting feels fresh and the magic of the land is just unique enough. The culture of the people is also quite fascinating – Brown’s take on oppressed peoples feels real enough at times to make me genuinely [...]

The Enemy by Charlie Higson
While not a wholly original concept, what makes The Enemy stand out is the constant feeling that a big brown comet is about to hit the fan; it’s a relentless tension uniting the escapades of the various characters as time runs out and the adults start displaying symptoms of a cunning, [...]
