Fermi's Wake: For the Trees
Recommended by
kevin
My absolute favourite Fermi book so far!
For the Trees is a stunning, heartbreaking, mind-blowing novella that should be winning awards everywhere.
Chris shows the heights his writing can reach with this story. Peeling back layers as the true nature of both story strands unfold.
Read this today!
Fermi's Progress 1: Dyson's Fear
Recommended by
kevin
This book got me hooked!
It delivers hard science fiction, pathos, beautifully dark comedy, a dig at every lazy sci-fi trope in existence, plenty of laughs, and is simply a must-read.
You know what you're getting into from the clever book titles. The humour is Jonathan Swift meets Red Dwarf. And the science is terrifyingly accurate...
...unfortunately!

Love this! A perfect blend of humor, action, and romance. The characters were delightful and endearing. The pacing was great. The writing is top notch. It was so hard to put down. Don't start this one if you've got things to do.
The Thief's Gamble
Recommended by
kevin
I was intrigued by the promise of a living fantasy world, instead of the usual "I was there three thousand years ago, Gandalf. And look, we're still using swords!"
A world where characters have lives, likes and concerns. Where technologies and discoveries change over time. This is epic fantasy that covers the passage of time in a meaningful way.
A fantastic series.

Fermi's Progress 4: The Phone Job
Recommended by
kevin
The Phone Job continues the journey we're all on together, and concludes it in the most space opera way possible. Not only with a bang, but with hope.
Fermi's Progress is a collection of novellas that read like Red Dwarf meets DS9, crashes into Blake's Seven, by way of every single Gerry Anderson series, and a whole lot of Space 1999.
This is great science fiction you'll love.

The Fury of Blacky Jaguar
Recommended by
sakina
Noir-with-a-vengeance, this story drags you round downtown NYC, giving you tonnes of action, gratuitous violence and guns, in return for a 2-hour read. Tightly written, well described, and leaves you breathless.
INTERZONE #290-#291 (DOUBLE ISSUE)

sohkamyung
An above average issue with interesting stories by Alexander Glass, Tim Major, Cécile Cristofari and Shauna O'Meara.
Fantasy & Science Fiction, September/October 2020
Recommended by
sohkamyung
An average issue that starts with an unusual tour through a library by David Gerrold with other interesting tales by Marc Laidlaw and Angie Peng, a fun piece by Brian Trent featuring some Greek Gods and a dog and a long fairy-tale like story by Leah Cypess that shows that fairies may not have the best interests of the people at heart when they give blessings.
