I did read this and was not overly impressed. In fact, I found it tedious in places and all the long names did not help. While it is written in a humorous style, the humour was few and far between. It was also poorly formatted for the Kindle and had a few typo's. On the positive side, I did...

I have just finished Smallworld: A Science Fiction Adventure Comedy which just didn't work for me. I only found one bit funny. I suppose you get what you pay for and this one was free off Amazon. Now Smallworld has been done I started to read SIM by Andy Remic. It's a bit heavy going and slow...

Buffy the vampire slayer by Nancy Holder and Christopher Golden ? I have not read them but just thought I'd mention them :)

How do I add the photos so they appear in the post like Tiffany's & Mouse? All I could see was the option to add them as attachments with small thumbnails. Thanks, Andy

Things get interesting if you take the view that gravity is simply the curviture of spacetime. The paths of photons appear to follow the curviture of spacetime which gives us the gravitational lensing effect. If neutrinos don't hold to spacetime curviture than when travelling then that would...

Back on topic, the BBC ran an artical on the 8th of Feb about scientists who had managed to reduce the size of a laser light source to 200 millionths of a millimetre high. They produce visible light and work at room tempertures. The full artical can be found in the Science & environment...

Just finished Winter Song by Colin Harvey. I was so impressed with this novel that I looked up the author to see what else he has produced. Unfortunately he died in August 2011 and I'm sure he will be sadly missed. Moving onto lighter things, I am now reading an initial draft of Singing Other...

The one that sticks in my mind is the Golden Barge by Michael Moorcock. I thought it was absolute drivel with no real ending. My friends agreed with my assessment but generally added a few swear words. For years the book was given as a present between my friends. It had to be cunningly...

I recommend the Intel funded 'The Tomorrow Project' which is free to download. Just do a Google search on Intel Tomorrow Project. There are four short stories which try and project the consequences of current or expected Intel research. While the stories are very technology orientated it does...

Due to a slight accident and catching a common cold, I had more time than usual where all I really wanted to do was sit and read. I started Winter Song with some trepidation as it was reviewed as harsh and brutal and I was feeling a bit morose myself! What is harsh and brutal is the world the...

I was under the impression that what we perceive as the force of gravity was due to the effect that matter had on space-time, or to put it another way matter curves space-time. Gravity may not therefore be a force at all :) I think it is likely that future computers will use light for some of...

I was given 3 books that were each compilations of 10 stories from comics. Two were from the Commando series of comics while the third was 10 stories of Rick Random Space Detective. I must admit I had never heard of Rick Random but I read it anyway. There are no actual dates for the stories but...

This is an epic tale of how a Captain who has spent many years in hibernation in a space ships escape pod before being rescued, gets to inherit a fleet of starships deep in enemy space. The author John G. Hemry writing as Jack Campbell is an ex US Naval officer and it shows in his descriptions...
