The Teixcalaan Series: Books 1-2 (2023)
(Teixcalaan)
Arkady Martine
"All around brilliant space opera, I absolutely love it."

The Archive Undying (2023)
(Downworld Sequence, book 1)
Emma Mieko Candon
"The Archive Undying is everything you could want in a mecha novel. Emma Mieko Candon is brilliant."

The Mountain in the Sea (2022)
Ray Nayler
"I came to The Mountain in the Sea for the cephalopods (I love cephalopods) but I stayed for the fascinating meditation on consciousness and personhood. I loved this book."

Furious Heaven (2022)
(Sun Chronicles, book 2)
Kate Elliott
"Non-stop action! Space battles! Intrigue!."

January Fifteenth (2022)
Rachel Swirsky
"Rachel's stories are super-smart and gorgeously written. It's [a short blurb], but it has the virtue of being true."

The Grief of Stones (2022)
(Chronicles of Osreth, book 2)
Katherine Addison
"Just what I needed."

Star Eater (2021)
Kerstin Hall

The Memory Theater (2021)
Karin Tidbeck

A Song for a New Day (2019)
Sarah Pinsker
"A compelling book about the importance of music--and any sort of art--in a world where it seems like the least essential thing. This is an expertly drawn post-catastrophe world peopled by compassionately written characters."

This Is How You Lose the Time War (2019)

Blackfish City (2018)
Sam J Miller
"Miller gives us an incisive and beautifully written story of love, revenge, and the power (and failure) of family in a scarily plausible future. Blackfish City simmers with menace and heartache, suspense and wonder. Plus, it has lots of action and a great cast of characters. Not to mention an orca and a polar bear!"

Embers of War (2018)
(Embers of War, book 1)
Gareth L Powell
"Powell's writing is fast-paced and fun and full of adventure. He's on my must-read list."
