					<description><![CDATA[So: it’s become a thing for me that Ray Nayler, with I believe only two novels, a novella and a short story to date, has become a must-read author. Both novels, The Mountain in the Sea and Where the Axe is Buried, have both been in my best of the year lists when they were&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Veronica Roth first came to my attention, as she did many others, I’m sure, with her Divergent series of novels (2011 – 2014), a dystopian science fiction series that seemed to be what readers of The Hunger Games (2008 – 10) wanted. More than a decade later, those Divergent readers have become adult, and so&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[R J Barker’s latest fantasy novel goes into the Grimdark – a murder mystery story of steampunkish machinery, death, political manoeuvrings and corruption in a grimy, unpleasant world. Irody Hasp is a Mortedant, a cleric tasked with reading the last thoughts of the dead—though no one thanks him for it. No Mortedant is popular –&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So, the introduction to the review copy of this book I received, written by Fonda, says that she was inspired to write this book as a result of a game where story ideas had to have the words ‘in space’ added at the end. Result: Samurai in space! The book is exactly that. Set on&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Epic Horror is one of the most ambitious kinds of horror stories to tell. Horror is a genre that relies a great deal on tension and can often be strengthened by intimacy of character or situation. In other words, relatively small stakes. Maintaining a level of tension and mounting dread over the course of a&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One of the recent discussions about Science Fiction I’ve had with non-genre readers has been about what readers want from Science Fiction. “Why do sci-fi writers explain things SO much?” was the question. This made me think. Personally, I think that it is part of the SF heritage. Modern SF came from a group of&#8230;]]></description>

Does the name sound familiar? Douglas has been a consistent best-seller writer since the mid-1990’s, perhaps best known for writing nearly 30 crime fiction novels with Lincoln Child, although he has&#8230;]]></description>
