The Moonday Letters (2022)
Emmi Itäranta
"The Moonday Letters is a thing entirely its own, full of melancholy, a sense of wonder and hope. It takes you on a shamanistic journey to a living and breathing future, carried by a mystery that slowly unravels. Iteranta is a compelling narrator who also knows when to pause to conjure stunning images with her always confident, exquisitely polished prose."

Empress of Forever (2019)
Max Gladstone
"Empress of Forever is a spaceship. It blasts through a vast sparkling cosmos, powered by myth and Gladstone's boundless imagination, crewed by characters you can't help but love."

The Freeze-Frame Revolution (2018)
Peter Watts
"Watts takes familiar-seeming SF tropes and accelerates them towards lightspeed, until they become something chillingly other. A gripping tale where galactic timescales collide with biology and age-old human dilemmas."
