Only 64 pages in, but so far this is as unique, clever, and compelling as, well, the other books of hers I've read.

Don't know what a Shakespeare fan would say about this retelling, but I enjoyed this story of artificial life, personal infighting, and corporate malfeasance.

Though a retelling of Shakespeare's play, my ignorance of said play isn't keeping me from enjoying this robot story.

As good as the first book, but different; darker, not as cheeky, and sometimes more epic.

It's too bad that she only has two collections in English...and that I've already read the other one.

As I suspected it would be (and hoped), this was as good as the the previous 5 collections of his that I've read.

Guilt can be a heavy burden. It's something the character Ten had to deal with in Stark Holborn's novel "Ten Low," and is something she's still dealing with in the new sequel, "Hel's Eight." To learn more about this sequel, and this series, check out this exclusive Q&A.

While I can't imagine what it's like to lose a child, I can understand not accepting it and doing something rash. Which is the premise of Evie Green's unnerving sci-fi novel "The New One." To learn more, check out this exclusive Q&A.

A rather gripping, somewhat unique, and even occasionally snarky tale. Good stuff. On to book 2.

While many authors follow the edict that you should write what you know, when interviewing author Iori Kusano about their cyberpunk sci-fi novella "Hybrid Heart," I kept thinking, "I hope this is something you don’t know."

While Stina Leicht's science fiction space opera adventure novel "Loki's Ring" was, of course, influenced by other writers of sci-fi stories, as she explains in this exclusive interview, it was influenced by writers of non-fiction as well.

Maybe it's because I just watched the show, but this snarky tale is giving me some -ish vibes.

As exciting and interesting as the first game; curious to see if/how it connects to the new one.

Sixth book of his I've read, and so far it's as good as the earlier 5.

Don't let the price, or the payments, fool you; the mobile game "Mighty Doom" (iOS, Android) is an addictive and exhilarating arcade shooter on any system. Here's the link to my review.
