An interesting conclusion to an interesting series. Lots of heady sci-fi stuff continues as well as Peter's signature writing style.

An interesting and dark sci-fi story. This one is closer to hard sci-fi than soft, with most things having a realistic explanation. It will keep you turning pages until you're done with the book. I'm excited to read the rest of the series.

An enjoyable collection of sci-fi short stories from some greats and some names I'd never heard of before. I particularly enjoyed Hamilton taking the piss out of himself in his (quite) short story contribution. I think the two standouts for me were The Lives and Deaths of Che Guivera by Lavie Tidhar and How We Came Back from Mars by Ian Watson.

The collection is great. There's no overarching theme but I found myself burning through the stories regardless.

An interesting character, the Swamp Thing. Not having any background with the series at all, I feel like I was sort of thrust into the comic in the middle of the action with Loose Threads tying up a bunch of threads I wasn't aware of at all. That said, once I figured out who was who the book had some very interesting things to say. The art is top notch and there's lots of great horror and general comic book weirdness going on here. I'm excited to read the rest.

An interesting change of pace from what I expect from Weir, but a good one. We follow a youthful smuggler on a lunar colony, who quickly gets into a job much bigger than she is. Lots of interesting scientific explorations in typical Weir style, though less than you'll find in The Martian and Project Hail Mary due to the nature of the story.
