The world of Warhammer seems a confusing place from the outside. The franchise has amassed a wealth of well-loved lore and literature around its iconic Space Marines that makes it one of the most developed military sci-fi properties out there… but where do you start? I recently delved into the literature and lore-proper of the Warhammer […]
Hot on the heels of last month’s release, Rise Of The Exiles, comes the latest scribbling from my fevered, sci-fi-obsessed mindscape. It’s called Fleet Rats (Dropzone #1) and is a new military sci-fi series of novels, set in the same universe as my previous sci-fi books – Conversations With Droids, The Kassini Division and Rise […]

The rom-com Palm Springs is the latest example of why filmmakers keep coming back to the time loop, and here are a few more you won’t mind being […]
I love Taur. For those who haven’t had the pleasure, it’s described on Steam as an “action-strategy sci-fi game”, but its lineage is that of the well-stocked tower-defence genre where the emphasis is very much on the action. You control the mighty Prime Cannon, which you must constantly upgrade and supplement from the tech tree, […]
