For the young adult or Teen looking for a cool Space Opera.

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars: Christopher Paolini


This, for me, is a strange book to review. A cross between an exceptional but naive foray into the science fiction world whilst at times being a thoughtful “teen” novel. I do not really know what to say about it. I will try to be honest but do not be surprised if my comments contradict themselves.

Firstly, this is an enjoyable and easy to read sci-fi romp. A romance, a pseudo “hard” sci-fi, opera. There was a great deal to like in this novel, the romance was cleverly written in a Romeo and Juliet style with Sci-fi written in. The writing always clear and easy to read sometimes lacked expression but was never stretched. The forays into “hard “sci-fi” were quite good, I enjoyed the “ship mind” sequences (lol- Iain M Banks- it was not) and the whole tale in general.

This is a good first novel for the adult market from an accomplished writer who seems to hone his work with each novel produced. Give this a read. Await some great work from this author in the future.

What’s New With Raymond Walker

As you can see from the notes above,  "Under Dark Skies" will be released on the 18th of October. Earlier for those who have funds to buy the early edition hardback. I have started doing a little pre-publication advertising and held a talk about its forthcoming release. Happily, the pre-publication reviews have been great. Comments such as "Dark and Delicious" From Lucy Briggs of "Wondrous Tales" and "A clever, accomplished Mystery" from fellow author Rob Anderson have done nothing but confirm my enthusiasm for this Book.

18th October. 
Under Dark Skies.
