We’re nearly at the bottom of the month, so it’s time to pull up a chair and look at what April has in store for us. If There’s Always Room For One More, these are books I need to make some room for…

Today, I’m honoured to present one of the biggest-selling authors in science fiction: Peter F Hamilton, a household name within the genre for over 20 years.
