If the books of Peter F Hamilton and Iain M Banks had a drunken shag and got knocked up, the resulting book-baby might turn out something like this. Tremendous fun, I had an absolute blast. #nowreading #scifibooks #sciencefiction #spaceopera #militarysf

I vanquished my wife in the guess-the-condiment-sachet game (2-1, ‘mustard’ was not the full required deciding answer for a yellow packet of Dijon mustard) and she’s gone nuts. Pointing out that she is still the spot-the-nun-in-Rome record holder and that I better not be thinking I’m top gun now

This month I've given away nearly thirty copies of Navvy Dreams (upon request), but it's the first time in a long time I haven't sold a single copy, and I'm no longer on KU. So what I'm saying is, today would be a good time to buy yourself a copy and I can't actually afford ads. ) Link n profile

I’ve been travelling by train from London to Prague & back, & I’ve been binging @rexburke.bsky.social as they keep me engaged & amused. I’m on the last leg of the way home & have just finished The Wrong Stop - about a group travelling by train from Prague to London. No aliens for me but a good read.

I second this. As well as the books being well written and unputdownable in their own right, I always say that anyone who likes Becky Chambers and @scalzi.com should like these books. I’ve read the Odyssey Earth trilogy and have just started the Star Runners trilogy and was drawn straight in. 😀
