This novel by Adam Roberts (actually a YA novel) is about something that caused all the adults in the world (17 and over) to fall asleep and stay asleep. For some, obviously this had immediate devastating consequences – think airline pilots, or anyone driving a high speed vehicle, or performing surgery, or anything vital likeContinue reading “The Swoon – Adam Roberts – 03.01.25”

The Death of Sir Martin Malprelate (AUDIOBOOK) – Adam Roberts (Author) George Weightman (Narrator) – 23.11.23
I have read and enjoyed several Adam Roberts books (Bete is one of my all time favourites) and I didn’t realise that he is a Professor of 19th Century Literature at Royal Holloway, London University and a leading authority on the works of Charles Dickens. Most of his novels are kind of dystopian sci-fi orContinue reading “The Death of Sir Martin Malprelate (AUDIOBOOK) – Adam Roberts (Author) George Weightman (Narrator) – 23.11.23”
The This – Adam Roberts – 13.08.23
Typically of Adam Roberts sci-fi books, The This is quite mind-bending and sweeping in scale. The first couple of chapters were very ‘out-there’ and I wasn’t sure what was going on, but all did become clear as the book progressed. The This is an interesting study of the evolution of humanity when technology to allowContinue reading “The This – Adam Roberts – 13.08.23”
The Midas Rain – Adam Roberts – 22.05.23
So, I love some of Adam Roberts books, and I like sci-fi, and this was cheap, so I gave it a go. It’s really a dystopian future, crime heist, sci-fi, thriller, and crime heist thriller type books (or movies) are not really my thing. Saying that, there were lots of things about this novella thatContinue reading “The Midas Rain – Adam Roberts – 22.05.23”
I Am Scrooge: A Zombie Story for Christmas – Adam Roberts – 01.01.23
I have read and loved many more ‘serious’ novels by Adam Roberts (Bête and The Real-Town Murders being among my all time favourite books) and I didn’t realise he had written several humorous parody type books. Since they were pretty cheap on kindle, I bought this and gave it a go. Well, it started offContinue reading “I Am Scrooge: A Zombie Story for Christmas – Adam Roberts – 01.01.23”
Polystom – Adam Roberts – 18.05.20
I have read quite a few of Adam Roberts books and some I absolutely love and others I am a bit meh with, this one sadly fell into the later category for me. It’s somewhat confusing working out if it’s set in our distant future, or in an alternate reality, and while the end ofContinue reading “Polystom – Adam Roberts – 18.05.20”
