The Son of Lubrerum
18 June 2026After sneaking in a quick re-listen of Firefax to get myself familiar with the world again, I was keen to dig into this. The Son of Lubrerum continues the saga of the Firefax family, a feared clan of assassins whose personal rivalries can drag entire nations into conflict.
Picking up right aftrer from the events of the first, the colonies appearing close to victory before events take a sharp turn. As the war reignites, Vergara balances large-scale historical events with the smaller, more personal struggles of the Firefax family. Plenty of action throughout (they are a family of assassins after all), and the family dynamics were just as an engaging part of the novel, giving it that well-rounded and well-crafted feeling […]
The Dragon’s Banker
12 June 2026
The title is The Dragon's Banker. The blurb talks about dragons. There's a dragon-person on the cover. Naturally, I expected a fair amount of dragon. This was more, dragon-adjacent for the most part with a main course of accounting and finance.
Not a criticism exactly, just something worth knowing going in.
The Dragon's Banker follows Sailor Kelstern, a merchant banker in […]
Cleave the Sparrow

Cleave the Sparrow feels a bit like somebody trapped a philosophy lecture, a political satire, a quantum physics rant, and a mushroom trip inside the same audiobook and then shook it violently before pressing record.
The story starts around Wilder Crick, the least likable US presidential candidate imaginable in history, a man who seems to hate basically everyone while obsessing […]

The Star Fraction
9 July 2020I can't tell you how many times I've read The Star Fraction by Ken MacLeod in my life. I remember buying this as a paperback way back in the early 2000s. It sticks in my mind because it was one of the first, maybe the first, book I'd ever found and chose for myself in a bookshop.
Since then, I've read it countless times. So much so the original book gave up on me years ago and I moved to Kindle, and more recently to the Audible version.
Back when I first read this, many of the political issues and dogma raised in the book washed over me. I understood them as basic concepts but never paid them much thought. As I've […]
