Daughter of the Sun
Recommended by
sapphiction
Oh, wow, this is an enjoyable read. I literally couldn't put it down. It stole my whole day.
It has gripping plot. The characters are lovable. It has a good amount of humor. Also, a lot of rich world building.
The second I finished it I was bummed out because it was over. I wanted to read it again immediately.
Glitch Rain

Really enjoyed this novella, like early Gibson but with contemporary themes as source material. Drones, social media, self driving cars, AI, etc,....
Hopefully there's more to come.
Bridges of Smoke (Achilles Protocol, #1)

I mean, I gotta recommend my own book, right?
The Lost Steersman
Recommended by
kevin
A very different book to the previous two in the series.
The Lost Steersman takes a different turn about half-way through, where the scope and scale of the world and its inhabitants undergoes another astonishing twist.
I got a definite Jane Goodall vibe from this book. Our understanding of the steerswomen grows in this wonderful instalment in a fantastic and surprising series. Loved it!
INTERZONE #290-#291 (DOUBLE ISSUE)
Recommended by
sohkamyung
An above average issue with interesting stories by Alexander Glass, Tim Major, Cécile Cristofari and Shauna O'Meara.
Dweller on the Threshold
Recommended by
kevin
Another stunning thriller from Skyla Dawn Cameron.
Personal, gritty, heart-wrenching. Everything you'd expect from the author.
Cameron wraps her stories in a familiar, 'cosy' skin that she peels away page by page to reveal the monster beneath. Her biographical approach
What's in the house? Only what you take with you.
Oh, and Fuck Greg!
Fermi's Progress: Planet of the Apiaries
Recommended by
kevin
The Fermi crew is a mess, but in Planet of the Apiaries, they're starting to come together. Starting to discover their roles, and what each of them means to the others... even if they can't remember them all.
The sci-fi references come thick and fast, but are never exclusionary. This fantastic third instalment ups the ante and drops a bombshell in its final line!
Must read sci-fi!
Arachne
Recommended by
kevin
Arachne is an unique entry in the cyberpunk genre. It steps between the dystopia of William Gibson and the otherworldliness of Phillip K. Dick.
Full of 'almost' body-horror, corporations so mega that they transact court cases in nanoseconds, and AI characters with more spiritualism in their circuits than the humans that inhabit this post Big-One San Francisco.
A must-read for cyberpunk fans!
The Healers' Home
Recommended by
kevin
Another beautiful read by S.E. Robertson!
I'm really enjoying this slice-of-life fantasy genre I've only just learned about. The Healers' Home gives us a more stable setting, some new drama as past-acquaintances re-appear, and work to do as Agna and Keifon try and fit in to their new lives.
Family expectations, awkward commitments and trying relationships flesh out this wonderful book.
Steel Frame
Recommended by
kevin
As stunning, different, deep, exhilarating, and as wonderfully written as Origin Complex, but with a rawness that its successor lacks, in place of sequel polish.
Two exciting books in this science fiction universe is simply not enough. Sorry, Andrew.
