Often when I read science fiction I tend to read the classics like, H.G.Wells, or Arthur C. Clarke. There is something about their style and storytelling that I find enduring and even attractive. Many modern writers have too much street talk for my tastes. I prefer thing to be written in full, not a collection [...]

I have been meaning to read this book for quite some time. Having watched my 11 year old daughter practically destroy it with her re-reading I thought that I had better act quickly. I was glad that I did. Percy Jackson is a demigod, the son of Poseidon no less, one of the big three, [...]

Posted: 3rd August 2011 by Mathew Bridle in Articles, Book Review, Book Review, Mathew's Blog, Member's BlogsTags: Book Review, Mathew E C Bridle, Sci Fi
Now here is an unusual book. The author, Mr Heaton, has clearly spent many a long day researching all things Icelandic, American airline history and a great deal of quantum physics relating to the plausibility of teleportation.

Well that hope was short lived. That radio interview at Premier Christian Radio, that I mentioned last week, well there’s been a sudden change of presenter on the breakfast show and I’m just not interesting enough to make the cut. So it’s off into the distant yonder with my pen and paper to watch life [...]

Book Review – The Invisible Man
Posted: 24th October 2010 by Mathew Bridle in Book Review, Mathew's BlogTags: badly writen novels, Book Review, H.G.Wells, Mathew E C Bridle, novels, Sci Fi, Science Fiction, The Invisible Man
It might seem odd to be reviewing something that was published over a hundred years ago but it is as contemporary today as it ahead of its time when it was first published. The Invisible Man, like so many classics, has been butchered by Hollywood and turned into trite. H.G.Wells wrote, not horror stories, but [...]
