The Downloaded (2024)
Robert J Sawyer
"Robert J. Sawyer is well known for big-concept original SF and rigorous research. While The Downloaded continues in this vein, it's also a wonderful demonstration of another aspect of this impressive author: his deep understanding of - and compassion for - people, regardless of who or what they are, or even what they have done. It's a rare and potent humanity that elevates Sawyer's work high above the rest."

Someone You Can Build a Nest In (2024)
John Wiswell
"The wonderful thing about Wiswell's monster, Shesheshen, is her sensible vulnerability.... I can guarantee you won't ever forget Shesheshen and Homily, and will be warmed inside forever."
thumb
Cascade Failure (2024)
(Ambit's Run, book 1)
L M Sagas
"Fans of Firefly and Lois McMaster Bujold's brilliant Vorkosigan series, Cascade Failure by L.M. Sagas has you covered. A ragtag crew full of grit, genius, and quirks with weary hearts of gold, finding the mission of their lives in a ship like no other. I loved everything about this book, including stunningly original world-building that ranks among the best I've ever read. Get this one. You'll thank me."
