Reading Science Fiction, Fantasy and Crime
Sometimes the picture says it all…
Neal Asher has an amazing imagination combined with a strong understanding of science and its potentials for evolution. Or at least that’s the impression that I’m left with after reading the tales that make up The Gabble and Other Stories.
I’m really excited to have 5 paperback copies of The Gabble and Other Stories up [...]
To celebrate the paperback publication of a The Gabble and other stories Neal Asher was kind enough to answer some questions on Gabbleducks, short stories and SF, amongst other things.

I was in London on Thursday as Forbidden Planet had another of their mega signings bringing together five Gollancz authors: David Devereux, Paul McAuley, Justina Robson, Adam Roberts, Chris Wooding all there signing their new books.

The Last Colony by John Scalzi
Published by UK Tor and Out Now
I have a problem with The Last Colony. It has this character Jane Sagan in it who is a main character from The Ghost Brigades and I can’t remember here. I can’t remember much of it to be honest. And I’ve been wondering why [...]
