Review: Beowulf's Children by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle & Steven Barnes

Beowulf’s Children by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle and Steven Barnes is a science fiction novel that follows the story of colonists sent to a distant planet. The authors explore the complex relationships between the colonists, the dangerous predators (E.g. the grendels), and the scientific exploration of a new world. However, the novel falls short compared to its predecessor, The Legacy of Heorot. The novel starts off slow but also shows a lot of promise.

Following on from the success of her season 1 prequel novel, The Last Best Hope, author Una McCormack returns to the world of Picard with Second Self — a new novel set between seasons 1 & 2 of the TV show. After several delays the novel has finally seen the light of day. So, was it worth the wait?

Heretics of Dune book review

Heretics of Dune continues the long and sometimes bizarre Dune saga, which began with Frank Herbert’s original Dune, written in 1966. After the lacklustre snoozefest that was God Emperor of Dune, I was hoping this book would lift the franchise near to its potential. And you know what? It kinda did.

Voyager: The Eternal Tide book review

Janeway is back! No, that isn’t a spoiler — because she is on the front cover. The Eternal Tide continues Kirsten Beyer’s series of Voyager novels, which continue the story after the TV show’s finale. Spoilers ahead First things first, this is one helluva Star Trek book. Kirsten Beyer takes the extra time and puts in a little extra thought — perhaps even love — into each Voyager book she writes.

A year is a long time. That’s how long Michael Burnham was trapped in the 32nd century before Discovery and her crew finally emerged from the cosmic soup of space/time. So, what did Michael get up between season 3, episode 1 and season 3, episode 2 of Star Trek: Discovery? Let’s find out.

The Legacy of Heorot book review

The Legacy of Heorot was published back in 1989. Written by powerhouse duo Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle (with a bit of help from Steven Barnes), it tells the tale of a group of humans who endure a ten-year frozen trip out to a new planet to start a human colony.
