A review of Chris Roberson’s Paragaea has popped up over at SFSignal:
“In a time when science fiction seems to be taking itself way too seriously, along comes a contemporary pulp adventure that injects some fun back into the genre. …the strong point of Paragaea is the adventure hook; and not just any adventure hook but a retro-style one. Paragaea is enjoyable for the same reason that Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was – nostalgia. This ultimately gives the book a sheer-entertainment flavor that makes it charming.”
I haven’t been able to get my hands on the book yet (I live in the UK). I’m looking forward to getting my mitts on a copy and I’m hoping that this is the start of a trend. I love Pulp but I don’t want to read Star Wars tie ins and I suspect that I’m not alone in that respect.
Any plans on this book making its way across the Atlantic?
We just have N. American rights on this one, I’m afraid.
