  • The Bones of the Sea on May 16, 2011
    star star star star star
    A quick read, and very well-written, I thoroughly enjoyed this short story. In it, we get a brief glimpse of Ulto Marinos, a mysterious world on which stranger things exist - namely, the Bones of the Sea. We discover, along with Myasi, the hidden secrets of this strange structure - but will they actually be unlocked? It is refreshing to meet a new talent in the scifi industry, and I look forward to seeing what other ideas Pippa Jay will bring to the world of reading.

    A great taster of the world (universe?) of Aston West, this was the first Aston story I read (beyond snippets of the stories I had read on TM Hunter's blog). I thoroughly enjoyed it, and am moving onto one of the novels next...

    I really enjoyed this piece of writing. There are some great turns of phrase in here, and the writing is vivid, drawing the reader in. My favourite sentence was: 'My hearing was grateful.' - gave me a good chuckle. Sam certainly had a fabulous sense of humour. I look forward to reading more.

    A delightful short story, The Pool Boy pulls the reader into the world of a harried Mom at Christmas time. Sharing the frustrations, it is indeed a relief when the pool boy shows up. But what happens next? My favourite sentence? 'And that is where the trouble began.' I would quite happily reread this story.

    A space station, a woman who's been dumped, and an avatar... ingredients for a romantic cocktail delicately crafted by Pippa Jay. There were several surprises along the way, and some fabulous characters one can really sympathise with. Having read Pippa Jay's previous works, and thoroughly enjoyed them both, it wasn't much of a surprise that Pippa has once again created a setting that my imagination is immediately at home in. The writing is vivid, and drew me into the story with ease. This is a quick, easy read, and a fabulous scifi romance.
