Reviews of cyberpunk, space opera, military sci-fi, dystopian, cosmic horror and all sci-fi subgenres.
A cozy, low-stakes detour between Malleus and Hereticus, where the real highlight is watching Eisenhorn and Bequin's relationship shine in a quieter setting.
Opens by killing off characters we've grown attached to, a brutal reminder that no one is safe, as Eisenhorn, now hunted by his own allies, wields Chaos itself against the enemy he's chasing.
A quiet, unsettling character study that pulls Titus Endor out of Eisenhorn's shadow, weaving in dementia, old ghosts, and a creeping sense of dread that feels earned.
Throws you straight into the grim, bureaucratic, unforgiving reality of the Imperium, following a witty, unorthodox Inquisitor on a hunt for a forbidden text of terrifying power.
A century after Xenos, finds Eisenhorn implicated in tragedy by threats from within his own ranks, forcing him to reckon with how far he'll compromise his soul to clear his name.
Puts Eisenhorn back in detective mode, but the real gut-punch comes from the cult he's hunting turning out to be war veterans broken by untreated PTSD.
Surprised me by being far more of a love story than a hard sci-fi time travel novel, with a bittersweet ending where time itself fights back against being changed.
Nothing short of pioneering, essentially inventing cyberpunk with ideas that still feel unsettlingly prescient, though the story grows convoluted.
Packed with inventive worldbuilding and irony, but its constant absurdity sometimes overshadowed the story. Marvin the depressed robot was the highlight.
Blends sci-fi and fantasy through a PTSD-haunted protagonist searching for purpose, elevating a classic good-versus-evil conflict.
A smooth, above-average collection of short stories for Turkish science fiction, though heavy American jargon pulls it slightly off course.
Monumental in its influence, driven by masterful world-building and Paul Atreides' unconventional descent from hero to anti-hero.
