All Systems Red was free from the Tor book club a few months back but when it was part of an Audible sale I jumped at getting it. I’ve seen great reviews and it won a Nebula award. There’s a good reason. The world-building is fascinating. There are humans, enhanced humans and androids. Murderbot works […]
This is the second book in Cara Bristol’s Alien Mate series. This series takes place on a remote planet of Dakon. Dakon was hit by an asteroid that changed everything. Now the planet is a frozen wasteland. There is also a severe lack of women on the planet. They believe there was a virus […]
Carrie Vaughn has created such a distinct and different world in the Coast Road series. (or is it the Bannerless Saga series now?) The setting is a post-apocalyptic world where the main character, Enid, is an investigator. This is the primary form of law enforcement which works in teams on everything from minor disputes about resources to […]
I saw someone else was reading this, went and read the blurb, and decided I had to read it. I went to see where I could get it and since I had Kindle Unlimited I was able to get it there. I enjoy a science fiction story with diseases and a mystery. There is even […]
I’m at a loss for words on how to describe LIFEL1K3. It is a little like The Wizard of Oz meets Pinocchio and runs away to iRobot, just to make it all the more different. Now Pinocchio is one of my least favorite stories but you add in Eve who battles huge magabot things […]
If you have enjoyed Jack Campbell’s other series, Lost Fleet and Beyond the Frontier, and Lost Stars, Genesis Fleet series will feel familiar. The writing style, space opera and military strategy are all here. It is a prequel series. Ascendant is the second book, following Vanguard by three years. The series could be read by those not […]
I loved The Admiral, the first book in the Evagardian series. It was a good introduction to the world with four people stranded who didn’t know each other. It was smart. The plot was clear – survival – but very fascinating as the world developed and also learning about the characters. The Admiral, capable and with […]
Today’s friend is the Melliane from Between Dreams and Reality. I learned of her in my very earliest blogging days at Yummy Men & Kick Ass Chicks. YMKAC was a Canadian blog and its owner, Julie, also spoke French. Since Melliane’s blog also does French reviews, they interacted. So Between Dreams and […]
Lock In was one of my favorite Sci-Fi worlds ever. I really appreciated all the thought John Scalzi put into how life would be different if the person you presented to the outside world was basically a robot. The prequel Unlocked (which should actually be read after Lock In) was fantastic, as it was presented […]
I have enjoyed the Starship’s Mage series from the beginning. I’ve taken an odd route, reading some, listening to others. I discovered the series when the first book, The Starship’s Mage was a kindle freebie and I was in the mood for space opera. The writing has improved as the series goes along. It has a […]
