Science Fiction Unlimited

Right...like the net needs another blog. So how can I justify the existence of this one? Well, I intend this blog to become an archive of book reviews, mostly pertaining to Science/Speculative Fiction novels but also including other genres of fiction and non-fiction titles that I believe have a connection to the interests of readers who are engaged by the SF/Fantasy genres. The books reviewed will not necessarily be new releases. I am a reviewer for UK Science Fiction magazine 'Interzone', and hence recieve occasional advance copies, but obviously the magazine gets first dibs on anything I write on these titles. Therefore most reviews will be of titles old and new that I obtain for my personal collection, or ones that I borrow from the library service (of which I am an employee). I hope to bring an enthusiastic objectivity to these reviews, avoiding obvious lazy comparisons to other authors and titles in favour of as accurate a description of the basic plot and theme (avoiding spoilers wherever possible, apart from in the case of 'classics' where the overall plot is well known). It is my hope that over time this site will become a useful resource for readers who, like myself, enjoy having their minds stretched by the books they consume. Here they will be able to get a ballpark impression of what a title is like as a piece of literature, what the feel and theme are and so on. I would welcome feedback on any of these reviews, and if anyone would be interested in contributing their own reviews please get in touch.
