Audiobook Review: Apocalypse Z by Manel Loureiro, Narrated by Nick Podehl
At first, I really gobbled this one up. I’m a sucker for the onset of zombie apocalypses and how a small group or close narrator perspective will survive. This reminds me of one of my favorite zombie books, Day by Day Armageddon, in its journalistic format, prepping to bunker against the oncoming horde. In Apocalypse […]

AISFP 250 – Ser MJS
How serendipitous to have big news for our 250th episode? In an effort to keep the lid on the news, I’ll leave the show notes at this. I’ll come back in a day or so and put in some links to stuff we talk about. For now, have a listen, and thanks so much to […]
Book Review: ANNIHILATION by Jeff Vandermeer
There are times when I begin to grow tired of science fiction. This happens when I pick up a string of novels that feature the same overused tropes with formulaic characters in a familiar, yet modified setting. But when you have an author like Jeff VanderMeer, you know at a minimum you are in for […]

Book Review: WORDS OF RADIANCE by Brandon Sanderson
Radiant Words. Brandon Sanderson’s second installment of the Stormlight Archive, Words of Radiance, was easily my most anticipated book of 2014. I’ve read The Way of Kings three times but couldn’t wait to spend more time in the world of Roshar and its compelling characters. If you like Brandon’s stuff and enjoyed the first book, […]Related Posts:Book Review: STEELHEART by Brandon SandersonNEWS – Part One: On Heroes and Why We Need ThemREVIEW: The Night Circus by Erin MorgensternAISFP 118 – Pa...

Graphic Novel Review: FEDERAL BUREAU OF PHYSICS VOL. 1 by Simon Oliver and Robbi Rodriguez
One of the fundamental difficulties of reading Science Fiction that gets bandied about the internet is the inherent requirement for the reader to learn about new technology. Compared to fantasy, Sci-Fi is apparently asking a lot of readers. After all, swinging a sword and riding a horse are apparently skills we have all internalized and […]Related Posts:Book Review: ANCILLARY JUSTICE by Ann LeckieBook Review: iD by Madeline AshbyBook Review: STAR WARS: EMPIRE AND REBELLION: RAZOR’S EDGEBook R...

Thanks to Tor for offering another giveaway. This one is for 3 hardcover copies of A Darkling Sea by James L. Cambias. I’m halfway through my copy and think the winners will be in for a treat. The alien life is detailed and dark, and yet one of their own could become one of the […]Related Posts:Book Review: THE ECHO by James SmytheReddit: “Ask Me Anything” with Tim WardInterview with Robert Charles Wilson, author of BURNING…AISFP 227 – Matt Bialer, Part One, Black PowderAISFP 235 – Colin F.

He is also an off-grid farmer living in a plain community in Texas. He’s been writing for years, and built a following through his nonfiction blog and novel, Surviving Off Off-Grid, but […]Related Posts:Book Review: PENNSYLVANIA (1-3) by Michael BunkerNew Releases: Hugh Howey’s SAND and PEACE IN AMBERBook Review: SAND by Hugh HoweyAISFP 226 – Jason Hou...
Book Review: PENNSYLVANIA (1-3) by Michael Bunker
Michael Bunker’s fiction is a new fascination of mine. After gobbling up the first three parts of Pennsylvania last week, I had to pick up his novel, Wick – The Omnibus Edition. I also recorded a podcast interview with him last night, which I’ll post for Friday, the release of Pennsylvania 4: Thou Shalt Not.
