Every Monday, I'll be doing bite-sized book/magazine reviews. Usurper of the Sun is reminiscent of many science fiction classics. For example, this is a novel in the same sense that Isaac Asimov's Foundation stories comprise a novel. There are also shades of Arthur C. Clarke's Odyssey series ...

Every Monday, I'll be doing bite-sized book/magazine reviews. Yvette Tan is one of those Filipino writers who dared to write speculative fiction before it was fashionable to do so. It's actually a surprise why she hasn't released a short story collection sooner, and Waking the Dead and Other ...
