A Reading Machine

In case you missed it you can check out my latest review for the indomitable We Ride The Storm by Devin Madson over at The Fantasy Hive. 

I grabbed this hoping it would be good fun, light entertainment, have some great action sequences and show me something fresh to keep me going. I had a 15 hour plane ride ahead of me. Sure I had my go to books in my carry on but who can resist an airport buy? Not me th...

This is such an incredible story featuring so many of my favourite characters from all time I almost feel like this counts as a science fiction review.
