Review: Untouchable, by LV Lloyd

Untouchable

I just finished a book I’d been planning to read for a long time – LV Lloyd’s “Untouchable”. It’s a space opera, and the fifth book in Lloyd’s Aurigan series. It’s also the first full-length book I have read by Lloyd. I really enjoyed the book. In a nutshell, it’s about several “oms” (Aurigan parlance for homosexual) on the patrol ship Qatar. The story opens with a bang – with one of them on trial for raping a minor, the son of his best friend. Then it spins back to the situation that resulted in the trial, and off we … Read more

Another Four (Well, Hearts) Review for The Autumn Lands

Love Bytes

Just got another great review of “The Autumn Lands”, this one from Love Bytes: This is my first read of a J. Scott Coatsworth book, but it definitely won’t be my last. I quite enjoyed this fantasy story…even after a major twist half way through! I’m not doing any spoilers on what that twist is, so don’t even ask!… I dare you to read it and tell me you guessed it before you got to it. You’ll be lying. I’m going to have to keep this review short, because I’ve already given a couple spoilers, but since they are from … Read more

Review: Off World, by Jonah Bergan

I had the pleasure to receive an advance copy of Jonah Bergan’s new MM sci fi book Off World. The cover of the book is gorgeous – it immediately made me interested in reading the story. The image of the main character is mysterious and gorgeous, and the planetary background promises a lush sci fi adventure. The story doesn’t disappoint. Let me say up front that the book does include some semi graphic sex with a dominance theme. But one of the things I loved about it was that the sex was both secondary and integral to the science fiction … Read more

Wow – lots of news this week – today is also the launch date for “Discovery: QSF’s Second Annual Flash Fiction Contest”.

The five contest winners are included, but there are many other great stories in here, running the gamut from sci fi to fantasy to paranormal to horror. It’s also a fundraiser for QSF… after the great folks at Mischief Corner Books take a small cut to pay expenses, the rest goes to fund the … Read more
