Justice League (2017) review

    Unfortunately, due to my wife breaking her leg, I wasn't able to see the JUSTICE LEAGUE movie in it's initial movie release. This is because I'm generally more of a DC rather than Marvel man. As much as the Marvel movies tend to be more my style (humor, light-hearted, and consistent), the iconic characters of the DCU are my jam. Sadly, most of us have been disappointed with the offerings since Man of Steel. Why is this? Well, the simple answer is the one we know: it's warme...

Altered Carbon (2018) review

    Altered Carbon is one of my all-time favorite cyberpunk novels and is probably one of the few which I rank up with Neuromancer, Snow Crash, and Blade Runner. It's a sci-fi noir with blackmail, sex, murder, and an antihero protagonist who verges on being completely psychotic but never quite crosses the line into villain (at least until the second or third book). So, I was incredibly exited about the announcement of a series being made by Netflix. Netflix, like HBO, is one of...

Exclusive Interview with Michael R. Fletcher

 Hey folks,
 
This is a great opportunity for the United Federation of Charles as we got a chance to interview one of our favorite cyberpunk authors. Michael R. Fletcher is one of the best indie authors currently available and writing some of the darkest fiction out there. 

One of these is Ghosts of Tomorrow, which is the story about a near-future humanity that has successfully managed to crack A.I (sort of). They can't create genuine A.I but can copy human brains into computers c...

The Aeronaut's Windlass (The Cinder Spires 1#) by Jim Butcher review

    THE AERONAUT'S WINDLASS Is a book I've been waiting to read for a long time because I'm both a huge fan of Jim Butcher as well as steampunk but I also have a history with this book. I was actually part of Jim's reader group for it and wanted to read it before it was released. Sadly, my father became very sick during that time and I couldn't participate further. He has since passed but the book remains one of the ones which I really wanted to finish. I'm a huge fan of the Dr...

New Series Announcement: Steampunk Fantastica

Hey folks,

Because I don't have nearly enough on my plate as is, I'm announcing a new series which will be set in the same universe as my WRAITH KNIGHT books but set about three hundred years later. STEAMPUNK FANTASTICA is a novel trilogy which will follow the adventures of a group of misfits in a 19th century themed high fantasy world where magic and technology have mixed to produce steam-powered wonders. The first volume, THE DIVINE SOURCE, is set to be released in March of 2018. The sequels...

The Guns Above (Signal Airship #1) by Robyn Bennis review

    THE GUNS ABOVE is an excellent steampunk novel which manages to include a lot of the tropes of the genre while combining them with an action movie. The book has its flaws: it tends to take the view of the aristocracy as a complete bunch of mouth-breathing incompetents and the heroine is unlikable at times. On the other hand, there's a lot of entertaining bits and a surprising bit of character development from one of the antagonists.

    The premise of the book...

AGENT G: SABOTEUR and LUCIFER'S NEBULA now available

I'm pleased to say I've got two new releases. These are the sequels to my extremely popular AGENT G: INFILTRATOR and LUCIFER'S STAR novels. Both novels are some of my best work and I hope their sequels, AGENT G: SABOTUR and LUCIFER'S NEBULA are every bit as enjoyable as well as enlightening.

AGENT G: SABOTEUR


FROM THE BEST SELLING AUTHOR OF THE SUPERVILLAINY SAGA COMES THE SEQUEL TO AGENT G: INFILTRATOR

Agent G has left the service of the International Refugee Society, the world's biggest provid...

It Takes a Thief to Start A Fire (It Takes a Thief 2#) review

    I very much enjoyed IT TAKES A THIEF TO CATCH A SUNRISE, which was the story of two con artists in a bad situation who had to figure out how to extricate them. It also took place in a fantasy version of Regency England and Imperial France with airships, alchemy, and numerous fun con games. So, when the sequel was available, I immediately picked up a copy to read. So, is it as good as the original? Eh, not quite.

    The sequel begins with Jacques Revou and Isa...
