Far-future post-apocalyptic fantasy and non-evil necromancy. Hope you like it!

Book of the Week: The Maker of Men and His Formula.
This one is a bit of a self-indulgence: this edition of The Maker of Men and His Formula (by Jules Foche) comes across as exactly the sort of conceit where a modern writer (in this case, Brian Stableford) pretends that the book he’s written is actually a ‘translation’ or ‘adaptation’ of an obscure book from the last century. It’s a harmless conceit, in my opinion, but in this case apparently Jules Foche was a real author of 19th Century French science fiction. Which makes the whole thing rather meta.
And so, adieu to The Collapse: The Accidental Opening of the Berlin Wall.
Book of the Week: The Palace Job.
Doing this from my Chomebook, so short and sweet: Patrick Weekes’ The Palace Job is so far a pretty sweet High Fantasy heist caper. It’s also dirt cheap on the Kindle, so check it out. I’m pretty tired, but I’ll likely stay up late enough to finish it. So, there’s that.
Merry Christmas!
