Can anyone keep up with this writer? Here's my review of Days of Shattered Faith by Adrian Tchaikovsky - so, I started in the middle of a five book series - not recommended, but in this case it worked. This is a fine novel that stands on its own. www.scifimind.com/days-of-shat... #scifi #fantasy

The second novel in Maurice Broaddus' Astra Black trilogy is even more engrossing than the first: Breath of Oblivion www.scifimind.com/breath-of-ob... #scifi #spaceopera

Anyone reading Breath of Oblivion by Maurice Broaddus - middle novel of his Astra Black trilogy? I'm especially drawn to his portrait of Muungano culture and how its leaders struggle to adhere to its communitarian values and art while dealing with the violence of their world. #scifi #spaceopera

I just finished Alan Moore’s The Great When and it’s amazing. I’m glad this is the first of a projected five book series.

I was about to start writing a review (of Powell's Future's Edge) when I realized I'd been stricken with election paralysis. Can't do much until the damn thing is decided.I'm going on blind faith that Kamala will win but doubts quickly crowd in. #scifi #scifimonth

I think this collaboration with Keanu Reeves is a fine China Miéville novel that goes far beyond the BRZRKR source. #scifi www.scifimind.com/the-book-of-...

Just listened to the second Geeks Guide podcast on For All Mankind. The first one, covering seasons 1 & 2 got me to go back and pay more attention, since I hadn't been that interested at first. Now I'm loving this show. How do you feel about For All Mankind?
