WWW Wednesday – 17 July 2024

WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Taking on a World of Words, where bloggers share the books that they’ve recently finished, what they are currently reading and what books they are planning to read next. Essentially you have to answer three questions (the Three Ws):

What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?

So, let’s get to it.

What are you currently reading:

Outrider by Mark Wales (Trade Paperback)

Outrider Cover

I just started reading the cool Australian thriller, Outrider by debuting author Mark Wales.  Set in the near future, Outrider follows a desperate man as he traverses a war-torn version of Australia with his son.  I love the scenario that Wales came up with for Outrider and it is so far proving to be a compelling and exciting read.  I will hopefully get through Outrider in the next few days, and I am very intrigued to see how this story unfolds.

Warhammer 40,000: Siege of Vraks by Steve Lyons (Audiobook)

Warhammer 40,000 - Siege of Vraks Cover

I also started listening to the Warhammer 40,000 novel, Siege of Vraks by Steve Lyons.  Once again returning to Lyon’s favourite body of troops, the Death Korps of Krieg, Siege of Vraks follows the infamous regiment as they fight in one of the Warhammer universe’s most bloody sieges.  Siege of Vraks is proving to be a very exceptional audiobook, and I love the elaborate examination of one of the more interesting moments from the franchise’s canon.  I have already made a bit of progress with Siege of Vraks, and I should finish it off in the next few days.

What did you recently finish reading?

Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky (ebook)

Service Model Cover

I managed to get through the amazing science fiction novel, Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky this week.  A very entertaining book that subverts the classic killer robot plot trope, Service Model was one of the more interesting reads of 2024 and I had an amazing time getting through it.

NecroTek by Jonathan Maberry (Audiobook)

Necrotek Cover

I finally managed to finish off the impressive audiobook, NecroTek by Jonathan Maberry.  A dark science fiction novel with heavy Lovecraftian vibes, NecroTek was an awesome and unique new novel from Maberry that proved to be extremely fun to listen to.  Easily one of the best books and audiobooks of 2024 so far, NecroTek was an outstanding novel, that comes highly recommended.

Ghost of the Neon God by T. R. Napper (Trade Paperback)

Ghost of the Neon God Cover

An interesting Australian science fiction novella that I was able to power through in a single sitting.

What  do you think you’ll read next?

Sentinel by Mark Greaney

Sentinel Cover

I have a ton of great novels to read at the moment, but I think I will dive into the compelling thriller Sentinel by Mark Greaney next.  A sequel to Greaney’s previous novel, Armored, Sentinel will once again provide readers with an intense, action-packed read, and I am looking forward to seeing how it unfolds.

That’s it for this week, check back in next Wednesday to see what progress I’ve made on my reading and what books I’ll be looking at next.

One thought on “WWW Wednesday – 17 July 2024

  1. Neon God and the Tchaikovsky book both have gorgeous covers.

    I just finished reading The Turn of the Key, by Ruth Ware; am currently reading While We Were Watching Downton Abbey, and The Astronaut and the Star. The latter is about un-personable astronaut who volunteers to train an actor in an astronaut film so she can improve her social media image. No idea what’s next! Both of my current reads were discovered in the last 36 hours..
