Alastair Reynolds’ Slow Bullets
Wars do not end neatly. While treaties may be signed and victories declared, there’s always room around the edges and in the grey spaces away from cameras and central command for those more interested in brutality than resolution. Such is … Continue reading

Prolific hard-sci-fi author Greg Bear has come up with another winner with Hull Zero Three. It’s a space opera of sorts that pits a handful of human and humanoid characters against their ship, which has somehow gone rogue. Some of … Continue reading
