Blood Voyager by Katie Collupy is a sci-fi/crime mystery set in space on the Voyager ship.
One of my favorite things about this story was the interpersonal drama. Each character had their own share of problems, their own personalities. They were three-dimensional in an intricately crafted world, where it was commonplace to be born on Mars.
Read MoreChaos and Retreat by Warwick Gibson is a sci-fi novel about aliens bringing war on humans, and only one man named Regent Cordez can save humanity.
This was a well-written, well-paced book. The characters were three-dimensional and Gibson knows how to write great tension. All in all, a very solid addition to the sci-fi genre.
Read MoreEdge of Light by Jay Antani is a YA/Hard Sci-fi Adventure Thriller about seventeen-year-old Dev Harrison and his friends, dealing with the aftermath of a meteor exploding over Los Angeles.
This story hits fast and hard! There’s definitely a lot to unpack here. From a roadtrip that lands Dev and his friends in a shifty town to dealing with the FBI, this will keep you on the edge of your feet. I also really loved the chemistry between the friends. This was well-thought out and one of Antani’s strengths.
Read MoreColony One by T. L. Ford is a fun sci-fi/mafia adventure story about an orphan girl named Alex Smith.
I enjoyed this story for the most part, and I think T. L. is a talented and very analytical writer, but sometimes I felt this was to a fault. The book feels like two different stories, one where Alex is on the streets and then gets involved with the mafia, and then the other is about her experience founding Colony One. And unfortunately for me, it felt like the story dragged on near the middle when she’s creating her business.
