My new year’s reading is coming along (very) slowly, but I’m still chipping away at my review backlog. Today’s reviews are space operas read in 2022: Warlady by Jo Graham and Under Fortunate Stars by Ren Hutchings.

New year, new books to add to your TBR. I’m here to help with a selection of (in my entirely subjective opinion) the most interesting January releases to make some room for on your shelves.
The old city was ruthlessly quarantined when an ancient virus was unleashed, but analyst Crash knows its secrets and walks its haunted streets. When the company dreadnought sends a secret message from the deepspace anomaly known as the Eye, the city is the only place Crash can pick it up. But what could push the Demiurge to call for help?
December seems surprisingly quiet for genre releases this year, which suggests that I’ve done poor research (quite possible; I’m a bit overwhelmed at present) or that we can look forward to a fabulous 2023. So what have I found to make some room for?
Our crew has crossed galaxies and navigated timelines, delved into what if and could be, but every SciFiMonth must come to an end. Better late than never, it’s time to look back across the final ten days of shenanigans and share the crew’s adventures.
With one week left to go, it’s time to take the wrappers off our final SciFiMonth Solaris Book Bundle! Our friends at Rebellion Publishing have been incredibly generous for our birthday, so our final bundle features some fabulous releases from the past couple of years.
Wait, how did we get to week three already? Right, I’ve been stuck in another timeline moving boxes. I fear there’s a few more of them in my future, but before I find out it’s time to sit back with a cuppa and survey the signals from our SciFiMonth crew to see what they’ve been up to these past seven (or so) days…
Control to SciFiMonth fleet: it’s time to grab a cuppa, put your feet up and tune in to what your crewmates have been up to during the second week of SciFiMonth! Whether you’ve been hip deep in clones or navigating the unexpected quirks of an alternate timeline, Lisa and I are here with a round-up of reviews, discussions and recommendations…
You know the saying: no two people in the contacted world are more than six social connections apart. Inspired by Kate at Books Are My Favourite And Best, I apply this notion to books and challenge friends and authors to find interesting ways to hop from one book to another based on a shared author, theme, award win and so on. Today, I’m delighted to welcome Ren Hutchings, author of timeslip space opera Under Fortunate Stars, to take the Six Degrees challenge.
November means SciFiMonth here at There’s Always Room For One More, but there’s more than just SF to enjoy in the month’s new releases! I’m very late posting this month because life is overwhelmingly busy, but I’d hate you to miss out on these upcoming (or now up and come) books…
Hailing all channels: it’s our first weekly round-up of SciFiMonth shenanigans! If you’ve been trapped in a pocket universe or cut off from comms on a strange new world, Lisa and I are here to bring you the news of what your SciFiMonth crewmates have been getting up to. Grab a cuppa and batten down your TBR…
It’s the most speculative time of the year – SciFiMonth lifts off today for a month exploring the realms of what if. The SciFiMonth crew will be adventuring across the multiverse to read, watch, play and celebrate tales of possible futures and alternate nows, survive first contact or enjoy being part of a thriving galactic community. Expect 30 days of chat and geekery – you’re welcome to join us!
Smuggler and linguist Sean Wren is on a mission he couldn’t refuse: to retrieve a long-lost scientific secret from an ancient ship orbiting a dying star. At least, that was the plan. Instead, enemies must ally as hunters become hunted aboard the deadly spaceship – but when the prize is immortality, treachery is the only possible outcome…
If there’s one thing we learned from The Lord Of The Rings (other than don’t keep rings you find in rivers or caves) it’s that birthdays are for giving presents – and for our tenth birthday, Solaris Books have partnered with us to give away stacks of awesome SF titles across the month! Today I’m taking a look at the first exciting bundle – our sign-up giveaway.
October means autumn is well and truly upon us: perfect for curling up with a hot drink, warm socks and a good book. There’s a glut of interesting new releases coming our way this month to tempt us away from the familiarity of our TBR too – check out my picks to Make Some Room for…
