I’ve been enjoying the Hugonauts podcast, it has inspired me to re-read some old favorites and explore some new books too....

I love Kim Stanley Robinson’s books, and am reading (in some case re-reading) his books in order. At some point, I’m going to get to Green Earth, but since it’s a reworking of the Science in the Capitol trilogy, I wanted to find out just how much it adds/leaves out/changes....

Don’t get me wrong, I love some good old “Goku on the streets of a Raymond Chandler novel” urban fantasy (and will read basically anything Steve McHugh writes at this point). And I love that the vast majority of the current voices seem to be fairly progressive rather than getting their Jim “The cops are a beacon of light...

I’m open to most anything. I’ve finished all of the Expanse, Bobbiverse, wheel of time, First Law, Powder Mage, Jade city, and loved them all. Looking for something with a good performance, maybe not top 5 most popular since I’ve probably read it but something solid.

I am looking for others’ recommendations for the best Spec Fic stories centered around covert organizations and their dealings/activities. Intelligence agencies, special units, black operations, etc....

Most nominations are expected, as they follow the trend from the last decade. I’ll be skipping the voting this year, but I think I’ll still pick up some of the more interesting sounding titles, especially from people I don’t see too often on the Hugo ballots.

I am thoroughly sick and tired of zombies. And while this isn’t a book, I watched and enjoyed The Last of Us recently and enjoyed it a lot....

This is open to indie too–there’s a lot more great indie work out there than people talk about....

Just finished reading this novel and I want to recommend it. No big spoilers....

I’m about a third of the way through this book and loving it. First time reading Tchaikovsky and he’s now one of my new favorites (along with Alastair Reynolds). Do the other books in the the Children of Time series hold up as well?

Join us in discussing published Speculative Fiction, where genres like Science Fiction, Fantasy, Alternate History, and more are welcomed. It’s about exploring speculative elements rather than conforming to specific genre guidelines....

I just finished reading this series by Fonda Lee. I really liked the generation aspect to this story, it really feels like you travelled a lifetime with these characters (it’s a bit like Realm of the Elderlings in that way)....
