Mayer traveled to a small town in Germany, after the War, to live with and interview people who had become involved with the Nazi party. It's relatively rare to hear perspectives of the 'average' German, and while none of the examinations were necessa ...more |

| Emrys' sophistication as a writer has definitely improved since her first Innsmouth novel. This stand-alone (as I believe the intent) is a first contact novel combined with a environmental apocalypse novel, in which aliens come to Earth to rescue us ...more | |

| Corey (the Coreys?) continue to produce grand contemporary space opera. This volume is less dark than the first, as we're past the genocide and we see the humans trying to make the best of their colonised status, and forming bonds with other colonise ...more | |

| The story, detailing Barda's first encounter with Scott Free and his escape from Apokolips, is slight but appropriate for a slim middle-grade graphic novel. While I think Ukazu tends to draw Orion too prettily (maybe this is explained more in depth i ...more | |

| First in a series of well-regarded Romantasy novels. Reasonably well done as an example of the genre. Some of the creative decisions seemed odd to me, but perhaps they play into the overarching story. | |

| A family saga tracking generations through difficult (and painful to read about) periods of Chinese history, the Japanese occupation and the Cultural Revolution, ending up in contemporary New York, all of which are haunted by the touch of the superna ...more | |

| Right out of the bat (which feels like a mixed metaphor as this book is about werewolves not vampires) the first-person narration annoyed me, with its twentysomething too-cool-for-school voice. Either it damped down with time or I got used to it, as ...more | |

| My first from Michael Swanwick, for some reason, although I will look for more from him. Collection of short stories of generally high quality. "Dragon Slayer" is completely charming and sets up a pair of characters who could support endless sequels ...more | |

| Oral history of the punk movement, from its first stirrings in Andy Warhol's New York, transitioning over the United Kingdom for the rest. Some of the material could have been presented more clearly and concisely (with less repetition), and L.A. gets ...more | |

| Ullrich's book tackles the fragile democracy of the Weimar Republic, with a focus on the structural flows which led to its turn to authoritarianism, and the turning points where decisions could have made to sustain it. An excellent book and one sadly ...more | |
“You get work however you get work, but people keep working in a freelance world (and more and more of todays world is freelance), because their work is good, because they are easy to get along with and because they deliver the work on time. And you don’t even need all three! Two out of three is fine. People will tolerate how unpleasant you are if your work is good and you deliver it on time. People will forgive the lateness of your work if it is good and they like you. And you don’t have to be as good as everyone else if you’re on time and it’s always a pleasure to hear from you.”
