Review
Awesome. Everything you've ever wanted to know about big-screen sci-fi (James King, film critic)
A wonderfully accessible, fascinating, flat-out treasure chest of science fiction cinema, from an author whose love of the subject leaps off the page. (Simon Brew, Editor, Den of Geek)
An accessible and insightful journey through the sci-fi-cinema galaxy, as navigated by a true fan. Ryan Lambie's knowledge is only matched by his enthusiasm as he efficiently joins the dots between George Méliès and Christopher Nolan. Don't leave Planet Earth without it (Dan Jolin, film critic)
A terrific tour of the history of sci-fi cinema, focusing on a whole bunch of movies you'll want to add to your viewing watchlist (Den of Geek)
Whether you dive in and devour the whole thing in one sitting, or nibble at it chapter by chapter, this book will absorb and intrigue you . . . it's impossible to be indifferent to so much carefully researched geekery (Helen McCarthy, co-author of The Anime Encyclopaedia and author of Osamu Tezuka: God of Manga)
