Library

I read a lot of books, and I even try and write some too. This page contains links to books I've read and enjoyed, so I can find them again in the future (and others can read them too, if they're interested). It also houses copies of some of the short stories I've written, as well as links to download them as epub files that you can read on an e-reader such as a Kindle or Kobo.

Dates given for other people's work are the date I finished reading them; for my own work the date given is approximately when it was 'completed' - the date I first tried to submit it to a publisher.

God Emperor of Dune

Posted
Author
  • Frank Herbert

A radical, but ultimately successful break from the earlier setting of the series. Possibly the best book of the sequels.

Children of Dune

  • Frank Herbert

Thought provoking and at times bewildering. Dune will never again reach the heights of the first book, but each sequel is nonetheless deserved of attention.

Dune Messiah

  • Frank Herbert

A very different book from its predecessor. Not as magnificent, but a read that rewards giving it your undivided attention.

Dune

  • Frank Herbert

Perhaps the greatest science fiction novel ever written.

The Sundering

Posted
Author
  • Gav Thorpe

A Warhammer omnibus of monstrous proportions that ends up being rather too much of a slog.

Eric

Posted
Author
  • Terry Pratchett

Shorter than other Discworld books, but all the better for it as the usual Pratchett formula is condensed, not reduced. Probably my favourite wizards book so far.

Interference

  • Sue Burke

More consistency, but less brilliance than Semiosis. An enjoyable read, but not the refined sequel I had been hoping for.

Uprooted

Author
  • Naomi Novik

Starts as an absolute corker of a fantasy novel and is riveting right up until the relentless pacing starts to grind you down.

Eversion

Author
  • Alastair Reynolds

A mixed genre novel with the usual questions of what is reality. Not quite up to Reynolds usual standards, but an enjoyable read nonetheless.
