😊DELPHINE DESCENDS 📖 - (Amazon link) https://shortlink.uk/P59l
After losing her family and freedom at the hands of the Imperial Network, Kathreen is sent to a brutal life of servitude, until a chance twist of fate grants her the identity of a powerful senator's heiress. Determined to destroy the the system that shattered her life, she vows to rise through their ranks-but to defeat them, she risks becoming a monster greater than any of them.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Delphine Descends completely shattered my expectations! ... I could hardly put the book down." - Goodreads
BLACK MILK 📖 - (Amazon link) https://shortlink.uk/MHpv
Prometheus can resurrect his wife, but at the cost of Earth's destruction-a choice that will unravel the fabric of time and doom humanity to a desperate fight for survival. Black Milk weaves a gripping tale of five lives, bound across aeons, as they battle a relentless post-human entity, with the fate of the universe hanging on Prometheus's ability to confront his own grief.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I would highly recommend this book to any one who is a sci-fi fan…and even those who are not just to show how great this genre can be." - Goodreads

IMAGE USE
The images in my videos are a mix of licensed stock photos and AI generated artwork. However, occasionally I will use images found online. I always seek to properly credit artists and offer a link back to their amazing work but sometimes it's hard to find the original source of the work. If I've used an image you own and I haven't credited you, please feel free to get in touch as I am always more than happy to do so.

In this video, we dive into five cult classic sci-fi films from the 1970s tv shows that truly deserve a thoughtful revival. We're talking about serious, modern reinterpretations that lean into what made them unsettling, rather than just nostalgia bait. Join me as we explore these classic film examples, including the iconic 'The Prisoner,' a secret agent show that aired in the late 60s but feels very much like a 70s british production.
