Shadowhawk reviews one of the most talked-about debuts of 2013, a sci-fi grand adventure about starship AIs and revenge.
“A promising book that never takes off, has serious pacing issues and a protagonist who is extremely confusing.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
Reviewing something with M41′s White Scars for the first time, Bellarius analyses Joe Parrino’s The Shape of the Hunt.
“An essential purchase for any White Scars fan.” – Bellarius, The Founding Fields
Bellarius takes a look at a more conventional tale from the Star Wars universe with Honour Among Thieves by James S. A. Corey.
“A fantastic tale which will appeal to both casual and experienced fans alike” – Bellarius. The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk reviews the third and final novel in the Split Worlds trilogy.
“Another great read set in the Split Worlds which provides closure to many of the subplots that have run through the trilogy, and is as enjoyable a read as the previous two novels.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk takes a look at the second novel in the Riyria Chronicles prequel series to Michael J. Sullivan’s bestselling Riyria Revelations series.

Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, covers Joe Schreiber’s Maul, the latest Star Wars tie-in novel focusing on the fan-favourite Sith character, Darth Maul – published by Del Ray Books and set before the events of the first Star Wars movie from the prequel trilogy, The Phantom Menace.
“A flawed but fun Star Wars novel, Joe Schreiber proves that he isn’t a one-trick pony and doesn’t have to rely on Zombie Stomtroopers to make Lockdown an entertaining read – but just don’t go in expecting a perfect one as the end result is quickly forgettable and not as excellent as it could have been.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, covers Ben Counter’s latest entry in the multi-authored Space Marine Battles series, looking at the Imperial Fists Chapter and covering First Captain Lysander’s struggles with the Iron Warriors on Malodrax. This book is published by Black Library and set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
“A fast paced, fun and enjoyable read - Malodrax may not be the best Space Marine Battles Novel but neither is it the worst, with Counter proving just how well he can write the forces of Chaos. Unfortunatley, this comes at a price – and his Imperial Fists don’t leave as much an impression as they should.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, reviews The Copper Promise, an epic fantasy debut novel from Jen Williams published by Headline Books. It’s released February 2014 in the UK but is available to buy now as four separate eNovellas that collect the whole story.
“An excellent read, The Copper Promise is full of great potential and delivers – providing an awesome debut that should appeal to fans of the likes of George RR Martin and Joe Abercrombie. Great stuff.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk takes a look at the sequel to Wesley Chu’s stellar 2013 debut from Angry Robot.
