Review: Hadrian's Wall #5

By Daniel Vlasaty

Hadrian’s Wall is a lot of things blended together to make a decidedly dark and interesting read. It’s a science fiction story. It’s a murder mystery. It’s a drama. It’s a story of addiction and withdrawal. It’s a lot of things and the best part is that each of these things would be good on their own, but when they’re all blended together it becomes something even better. Something great maybe.

Hadrian's Wall #4 and the Art of Breaking Up

By Patrick Larose

The first time you see Simon and Annabelle together--they’re smiling. This is the future so they’re in a hover car but still they’re driving along the coastline at sunset, dumbly grinning and badly singing Tom Petty’s “American Girl.” A warm orange glow wraps around them and when they kiss, cartoon hearts fill the spaces between them.

This is not a happy memory. This is a cruel reminder.

Review: Hadrian's Wall #3 & Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye #2

By Patrick Larose

There’s a particular type of dissonance between being a consumer and a critic. As a consumer, there’s really only ever one question—is the product any good?

Review: Hadrian's Wall #2

By Patrick Larose

Sometimes there’s nothing wrong with being a good one of those.

Hadrian’s Wall is a murder mystery, or rather, a locked-room detective story set in space. One where a would-be detective investigates a mysterious death aboard a space station only the victim here isn't some random astronaut but instead the investigator’s former best friend and his ex-wife’s current husband. Out here in the quiet dark of space, everyone's a suspect and everyone has something to hide.
