Ben Bova recommends
Venus Remembered (2020)
Ray Bradbury and Jason J Marchi
"Those benighted souls who claim that science and the arts are two separate things should read Jason Marchi’s remarkable work."
The Children's Game (2018)
Max Karpov
"A tight, gripping tale of the men and women who face death in the hidden conflicts of superpower politics. Startlingly believable."
InterstellarNet: Enigma (2015)
(InterstellarNet, book 3)
Edward M Lerner
"A breathtakingly richly realized vision of what tomorrow's civilization may look like..."
