|author= David Wingrove
|title= The Ocean of Time
|rating= 3.5
|genre= Science Fiction
|summary= The War for Time continues. From the frozen tundra of 13th Century Russia to the battle of Paltava in 1709 and beyond, Otto Behr has waged an unquestioning, unending war across time for his people. But now a third unidentified power has joined the game across the ocean of time, and everything Otto holds dear could be unmade…

|summary=You should never judge a book by its cover, or an author from their back catalogue. Whilst some writers will produce the same sort of adventure over and over again, with the same characters in the same world; others are more like a bag of literal allsorts. A novelist may produce one book that is a satirical and adult; just don’t assume that the next will be the same.

|author=Ursula K Le Guin
|title=The Word for World is Forest
|rating=3
|genre=Science Fiction
|summary=There probably is an [[:Category:Ursula K Le Guin|Ursula K le Guin]] book for everyone. For fans of consummate, ageless fantasy, there are the first few Earthsea books, that I met as a child and still hold in high esteem. For the feminist reader, there are much more recent novels that I would even baulk at putting on a genre shelf, so light are the sci-fi or fantastical trappings. But there are also classics of the former genre, too – hard sci-fi written at one of the past peaks of the form, and deemed timeless, as this current reprint suggests. These are sci-fi works that mean something – that shine a light on then-current thinking, or then-recent history or actions, but that are still designed to appeal to the hard-core genre fan. The example of ''The Word for World is Forest'' is one such, with an obvious nod to the Vietnam situation. It's a shame then that for me, at the remove of 2015, it doesn't tick many more boxes, all told.
