Gears and God received a really positive review from John Bird on the Mark Twain Forum last week. I’m unable to reprint it, but will try to link to it in the future.

Speaking of reviews, I’m thrilled to be reviewing Jason Heller’s new book, Strange Stars: David Bowie, Pop Music, and the Decade Sci-Fi Exploded, in a future issue of SFRA Review. This book is an astounding feat of research into rock history and science fiction.

I was thrilled to hear about Heller’s book at Worldcon, and was so stoked by its contents that I promptly volunteered to review it for SFRA Review. I’m going back through it, doing a critical reading, but my initial impressions were “These connections are amazingly cool.” The Bowie material is only the tip of the iceberg. I’ll link to that when it’s out.
