God’s Junk Drawer
27 July 2026The premise of God's Junk Drawer sounded interesting, so I grabbed a copy. Forty years ago, a family vanished during a rafting trip and ended up in a primordial valley populated by dinosaurs, aliens, Neanderthals and androids. Now the surviving son has figured out how to get back, accidentally dragging his graduate students along with him. Peter Clines has built a wild, ambitious world, and for a while that's enough to keep you going.
The problem is the characters. I genuinely couldn't stand any of them, which makes sixteen-plus hours a difficult commitment. None of them are particularly likeable, none of them behaved in ways I could get behind, and I spent a good chunk of the book considering the (rare […]
What Life Can Bring
21 July 2026
What Life Can Bring brings together three science fiction stories that are loosely connected by ideas around time. They each take that theme in a different direction, making for a collection that feels varied while still sharing a common thread.
The first story, following Poly after his release from prison, ended up being my favourite. It's the most grounded of […]
Waterhole Economies
16 July 2026
If hunter-gatherer societies sustained themselves for the overwhelming majority of human existence, is there something modern civilisation has forgotten? That's Samuel Layne's central question, and whether you end up agreeing with his conclusions or not, it's a genuinely interesting one to dig into.
Layne draws on anthropology, economics and environmental science to argue that our earliest societies have real lessons […]

Review Time Machine
Dead Tired II
20 July 2024I am beginning to wonder if it's worth continuing with this story. It's light-hearted fun with an over-powered MC that can just cakewalk through every situation. Nothing in the two books so far even comes close to being a threat.
When you've defeated the old gods, and the new ones don't come close to their power, what else is there?
There's a distinct lack of direction or purpose, beyond some general handwaving towards an overall issue. Harold wants to find what happened to his missing phylacteries while also looking into the disappearance of "the system" but beyond that, the story generally meanders along.
Sure, there's the training of the Limpet which is nice to see that's Harold isn't going to just dispose of […]
