“Listen in as Luke Burrage misses the point of nearly every Sci-Fi book he reads. It becomes increasingly apparent as you listen to more and more of the episodes that Luke does not like to be challenged by his reading material and instead likes things to be as direct and 'standard' as possible.

“The hosts passion for science fiction is evident in the high standards that he demands from the books he reviews, and even with the ones he doesn't particularly like he is usually able to find an element worth dissecting and analyzing.”Read full review »
