Black Science 01

Bane of Kings and Shadowhawk take a look at Rick Remender’s new series from Image Comics with artist Matteo Scalera.

An absolutely stellar first issue, Black Science might just be Rick Remender’s strongest work yet, and as a result it’s jumped right to the top of my pull list. A must read.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

“Quite an impressive story about desperation, bad choices and a pulp science fiction core that speaks of great adventures.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields

07 Trinity-Rising_Cooper

Shadowhawk reviews the second novel in the Wild Hunt series, published by Gollancz.

“An interesting novel that takes a greater look at the setting and introduces several interesting characters, but fails to excite and entertain as much as the first novel in the series.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields

Strange Chemistry Double – Emilie & The Hollow World and The Holders [Shadowhawk]

StrangeChemistryDouble01

Shadowhawk reviews two of Strange Chemistry’s latest young adult fantasy titles.

On Emilie & The Hollow World: “This is an action-adventure novel that is very reminiscent of Jules Verne’s classic, A Journey To The Center of The Earth. Hence, my conclusion is that the novel is a work of genius.

On The Holders: “An Irish fantasy that reads like an X-men novelisation. Which means of course that this was pretty damn good, no mistake.”

map-all-things

Shadowhawk reviews the second Terra Incognita novel by Kevin J. Anderson, continuing a tale of dogmatic religious crusades, tragedies, adventures on the high seas and doomed romances.

“A novel that continues and builds upon its predecessor, this is a must-read for fans of the series for the simple fact that Anderson stays fully true to the world he has created.” ~The Founding Fields

EDGEOFTHEWORLDmed

Shadowhawk reviews the first Terra Incognita novel by Kevin J. Anderson, a tale of adventure on the high seas, religious crusades, and the inevitability of politics.

“A rousing start full of promise and an engaging experience, The Edge of The World, still lacks something to make it truly spectacular.” ~The Founding Fields
