This Year's Reading
#13 High John The Conqueror by Jim Younger
The other day immortalradical said of The Island at the End of the World by Sam Taylor:Niall has been fooled by the book's publicity into believing this was a mainstream SF novel. It's not, though it is a diverting enough fable.
This is another of those. An exuberant, farcical mix of sex and drugs and religion.
#14 Biohell by Andy Remic
Read for review for SF Site.
#15 Epic by Conor Kostick
Bought on the strength of a recommendation by fjm and I'm very glad I did. Epic takes the familar idea of a virtual reality game as proxy for the real world and then fully explores and critiques this idea. The sequel, Saga, is out in paperback later in the year and I am looking forward to it.
