Human Errol

Cheyenne

Few apocalyptic zombie hooror stories have happy endings. Nature of the beast. This one does, and it gets there so satisfyingly. Clearly drawn characters and well developed arc. Don't be surprised if you tear up. Its not a long book or a hard read. No words are wasted. Do yourself a favour and read this one.

Outer Layers

No one does layering, arcs, character and emotion like the British. This story beautifully combines 1984, finely etched characters and a last ditch effort to save a family business using shock therapy. Funny, intelligent, too short.

The Labubu lnvasion

Kincaid's ability to write gripping stories across genres and tones and blend humour, subtle life lessons and strong characters reminds me of uber-selling Terry Pratchett

How I accidentally took over my town

Beautifully written, funny and heart warming journey of a gamer who gets god tier 1 status in the game of life and levels up doing well by doing good. A joy to follow. Each new chapter describes a civic improvement project that as a byproduct changes him from introverted incel into someone useful and popular.

How I accidentally accessed the System

Ever grow up an orphan, or missing a parent or buddy for feedback, or go through a patch wanting pointers, or secretly feel like a zero and want to be a hero, or a geek wanting a HUD and prompts and a map for the game of life? This tale of a 30yo incel who exits his man cave and wins the approval of the universe and himself is funny and wise. Shade of Terry Pratchett

Giving up the Ghosts

A quiet man who imitates sounds gets hired by desperate ghosts who lost their voices. Brilliant start to a story.

Arthur Jones & Sons, Bros. Traveling Undertakers

From the country that gave us discworld, Harry Potter, the Hitchhiker's Guide and the Beatles. Fans of British fantasy will love this one. Fans of British humour will get it. A family, the police, some ghosts and a cosmic entity race to break Satan's killer Faustian contract and help a 600yo boy get his girl. Brilliant plot. Strong characters. Lots of gore.

The Precursor

Detective Thriller meets Sci Fi. A gripping story of a futuristic FBI investigator in pursuit of who or what made 3 friends vanish 9 years before. The finger points at a secretive engineering firm and its surprisingly long lived owner. Well constructed plot, nicely sketched characters and flowing dialogue set up the twists and surprises.

The reincarnated to vice admiral Nagumo

An alternate reality where a modern day student with a passion for world war 2 fgets a chance to lead the IJN campaigns for Pearl Harbour, fix the mistakes (other than attacking the sleeping giant, that is) and plot a new outcome. The title is awkward and the author's native language is not English but the grammar and vocabulary are good enough and history buffs will love the reimagining.

The Romantic Education of Joshua Altshuler

A book for highly intelligent readers with soft hearts. After an asteroid ravaged the surface, humans live on Mars and the moon, on space stations, and underground on Earth. After first contact with aliens 6 light years away kills funding fot R&D, and puts humanitt's sustainability in doubt, an unemployed rocket scientist comes to a space station and finds romance and a mission of new hope.. You don't have to be Jewish to love the story, but it helps :)
