Aliya Whiteley recommends

Calypso (2024)
Oliver K Langmead
"Huge in scope and heart, elegant in structure, and filled with an ocean of thoughts about humanity and our future: Calypso is a stunning creation."

Unquiet (2023)
E Saxey
"Dreamlike happenings, unexplained footsteps, and muddy trails: suffused with dread, and very elegantly written, Unquiet is a Gothic mystery to become mired in."

The Strange (2023)
Nathan Ballingrud
"The Strange breathes vivid life into a Mars that's both fascinating and frightening. The journey of Annabelle Crisp across those red sands - she's a wonderful character, full of energy and determination - was a battle for answers, for autonomy, for humanity itself. I rooted for her every step of the way."
