Artemis by Andy Weir is a novel that takes place on the moon and quite frankly, will definitely remind you of a story that you may have read somewhere before. The story doesn’t quite feel original but due to the authors background, he does make that up by giving out cool science facts that I’m…

Good Morning, Midnight by Lily Brooks-Dalton is a stand-alone science fiction novel that, although can be considered dystopian or post-apocalyptic by some, really goes over what would happen when a lonesome old astronomer and a crew of returning astronauts from a space exploration mission discovers that all contact with humans on Earth has been ceased.…

The Alien Chronicles is an anthology composed of various authors in the sci-fi genre. Needing a break from the traditional novels/series that’s well over 400-500+ pages, I thought this particular “Chronicles” series should provide some relief. There are a couple of other in the series but I decided to stick with the Aliens theme first…

Sub-Human by David Simpson is the first book in the Post-Human series. It is actually the prequel and although the author mentions that it is not a requirement to read this book prior to Post-Human, it will help those get a better understanding of the technology and terminology that will be used in the series.…

Old Man’s War by John Scalzi is the first in this military sci-fi series. It’s surprisingly good and you don’t have to a be sci-fi junkie to get the most of it! The theme of the series is pretty interesting and that’s what got me to pick it up. It’s not everyday that you get…

Endymion by Dan Simmons is the third book in the Hyperion Cantos series. To say that I am disappointed in this book is a huge understatement. In fact, it saddens me to say that I have to put this book in my “did not finish” category as I absolutely loved the first two books of…

The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons is the follow up to Hyperion. Let’s get this out of the way right now. If you read the first, then you should already know that a bit of imagination is needed to get the most out of the book. Well, in The Fall of Hyperion (TFOH), a…

Hyperion by Dan Simmons is the first book in the Hyperion Cantos series and folks, its a good one! I’ve always been looking for a good sci-fi book that deals with some type of mythical creature and whatnot. So when I read the description of Hyperion and the Shrike, I was sold. It also helped…

Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey is the first book in his Expanse series. By all definition, Leviathan Wakes is a space opera. You will be spending a lot of time in space and space travelling. In all fairness, this is exactly what I wanted. The characters themselves, while not the most interesting, generates enough…

Molly Fyde and the Parsona Rescue by Huge Howey is the first book of four in the Bern Saga. I’ve come to know the author by reading his Wool series and was highly delighted at finding a sci-fi writer who wrote books in an easy to understand manner that doesn’t have a need to use…
