Episode 68; Slab City Blues - The Collected Stories, Review

23/11/2017

 
​Slab City Blues manages to bring the world of the strange into Sci-Fi that I can not help but love. Anthony Ryan has filled his universe with an array of larger than life characters and at the centre is Alex Mcleod. An ex-military man now earning a living on the orbital space station The Slab.

The five stories (one novel and 4 Novellas) see Alex chasing leads and calling in favours however he is a formidable force and his "Demon" status is more than earned by the end of the book.

The narration by Steven Brand fits perfectly with the gritty nature as he breathes life into the characters helping to wrap the project up perfectly.

Episode 54; Ready Player One, Review (with Guest)

25/10/2017

 
This is a slightly longer review as I invite Alex from the Tangents Entertained Podcast to chat about Ernest Cline's Ready Player One.

RPO is one of those titles that seems to have infested the consciousness of a vast number of people with its references and subject matter. We look at these points as well as talk about the themes of book and the performance of Will Wheaton in what we hope will be an enjoyable format.

​As always thank you very much for listening

Episode 50; Two top five Audiobook choices.

17/10/2017

 
For our fiftieth episode I thought it would be fun to do something a little different. So I invited Alex from the Tangents Entertained Podcast on to chat about his top five choices in audiobooks.

​So sit back as we both try to highlight some of the titles we think are worthy of your time.  

​We apologise for the slight audio issues are the end of the show.

Episode 38; Noumenon

8/9/2017

 
Travelling to the stars is a dream of many, however the reality of long space missions is one that has been dealt with in many forms. In Noumenon Marina J. Losetter brings her own thoughts to the struggle faced by humanity and comes up with a pearl of a tale.

Noumenon is about the actual experience of a civilisation travelling through space without knowing if they going to discover anything and in some cases not having had the opportunity to volunteer for the mission in the first place.

​The book is wonderfully well crafted and certainly worthy of your listening consideration.
