Aliens

Review: Light Years From Home by Mike Chen

January 18, 2022 by Ashley Brennan Leave a Comment

Light Years From Home is first and foremost a beautifully crafted family drama set within a world where aliens do exist and there is an intergalactic war happening in the vast reaches of space. This is for everyone wondering what happens to those we leave behind, especially those who are picking up the pieces.

Review: Road to Juneau by Liam Quane

January 13, 2022 by Dale Leave a Comment

Synopsis New York: two years after the Third World War. Humanity is rebuilding its cities brick by brick; the damage done to the people, however, is a lot harder to repair. Dan Hardacre is one of those people. An aspiring stage actor and experienced draft-dodger, Dan struggles to find his place within the Utopic rebuild […]

Review: Light Years from Home by Mike Chen

December 24, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

Light Years from Home is Mike Chen’s latest novel, and, in my opinion, it fits right in with the rest of the author’s portfolio. It is a sci-fi story written in Chen’s signature smooth style, with a narrative that includes family drama and alien technology, and a message full of hope. I definitely enjoyed this read.

Review: Far from the Light of Heaven by Tade Thompson

December 17, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

Far from the Light of Heaven is the latest release for noted SciFi author Tade Thompson (also known for The Wormwood Trilogy and the Molly Southborne series, among many others). This book is about a space mission gone awry. It is very murdery and includes rogue AI plus aliens. I was not the biggest fan of how everything was put together, but read on: this may be the very kind of book you connect with.

Review: Leviathan Falls (The Expanse #9) by James S.A. Corey

December 9, 2021 by Arun 5 Comments

A good closure to one of the best sci-fi series of all time, but not really a satisfying read.

Review: Falling Dark by Tom Lloyd

December 3, 2021 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

SynopsisIt’s the find of a lifetime – an ancient alien spaceship hanging in a forgotten corner of space. For Song this could change everything. She’s got as many problems with her finances as she does in her marriage, but maybe at last her passion for wreck-diving will pay off. One piece of unknown tech could […]

Review: Activation Degradation by Marina J. Lostetter

September 8, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

Activation Degradation is well-known author Marina J. Lostetter’s latest published novel, and I found it to be a really interesting story. Dubbed as “The Murderbot Diaries makes first contact…”, I only found a tertiary connection to the famous cyborg. Honestly, though, it does not need the comparison, as the story is able to stand on its own two feet.

Review: Artifact Space (Arcana Imperii #1) by Miles Cameron

August 30, 2021 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

The protagonist, Marca Nbaro, practically hits the ground running right from the get go and along with her, the reader is propelled into a plot full of character interactions you live for, a long list of mysteries waiting to be solved, and a brand new fascinating world whose main undercurrent is hope, learning to trust others, and the beauties of trading cultures.

Review: Pieces of Eight (The Guardian of Empire City #2) by Peter Hartog

August 30, 2021 by Manny Henri Leave a Comment

The Guardian of Empire City series is shaping up to be an amazing trilogy (or longer) series, much like the Dresden files by Jim Butcher. And the comparison doesn’t stop there. Every book so far is a big mystery to solve and contains urban fantasy (with also) sci-fi elements. So in conclusion, if you’re a rousing fan of big murder riddles set in worlds filled with shiny toys, magic dust and grim creatures of the night, Peter Hartog’s Pieces of Eight should be high on your TBR and is a near perfect sequel to Bloodlines.

Review: Fermi’s Progress: Descartesmageddon (Fermi’s Progress #2) by Chris Farnell

August 5, 2021 by Paige Leave a Comment

The story of Descartesmageddon lies in a zombie tale. The aliens on this planet are living through their own version of a zombie apocalypse, complete with barricaded safe hubs, zombies that are attracted to noise and roam at night, and the idea that you’re never quite safe. There’s also a philosophical element here about what makes someone human, as it isn’t quite the zombie plague you expect.

Review: Fermi’s Progress: Dyson’s Fear (Fermi’s Progress #1) by Chris Farnell

August 2, 2021 by Paige Leave a Comment

Dyson’s Fear puts us on a brand new planet. A strange, inexplicable place brimming with intelligent life, and a city that floats on the river (which I’m fascinated by). Complete with its own religion and philosophies Chris has a flair for creating new worlds that are rich in culture. Honestly I could read a whole series set on this planet and still want to know more!

Review: A Desolation Called Peace (Teixcalaan #2) by Arkady Martine

July 9, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

A Desolation Called Peace is the second and last (for now, at least – the author has been quoted as wanting to return to this Universe, but this book does conclude the current storyline) installment in Arkady Martine’s award-winning Teixcalaani series. It resumes the story soon after the events of book 1, A Memory Called Empire, and continues following Mahit et al after the crowning of a new Emperor in Teixcalaan.
