  The Ghost BrigadesJohn Scalzi★★★★★★★★★★I enjoyed The Ghost Brigades. The decision by the author to make this not a direct sequel to The Old Man's War was great, this makes the universe feel more complex and interesting. I…

• 
  Death's EndCixin Liu★★★★★★★★★★+ Universe created by the author leaves a lot of room for imagination, invites the reader to explore and create new plot lines, allows anyone to extend the story of any number of characters.…

• 
  PinesBlake Crouch★★★★★★★★★★Captivating, full of moment right up to the end This is a book for those that want an experience in discovery, the truth at the end changes how one feels about the setting, the…

  Mr. MercedesStephen King★★★★★★★★★★Another novel quite different from what you'd expect from Stephen King, no supernatural elements, no horror waiting around the corner, a truly hard-boiled detective story as King put it himself. The characters are natural…

  The Girl With All the GiftsM.R. Carey★★★★★★★★★★Story is great, narrative keeps you in the story, but by the end of the first third of the book you know where this is going, you can see what the story is going…

• 
  Dark MatterBlake Crouch★★★★★★★★★★Straightforward, simple narrative, great use of science to carry the story, somewhat predictable but that doesn't take away from a really good book.
• 
  Fear the SkyStephen Moss★★★★★★★★★★Hard Sci Fi, the narrative is slow some times but it's engrossing in the level of detail and it carries the weight of the events really well, I found myself at times replicating gestures…

  The EggAndy Weir★★★★★★★★★★do unto others...
• 
  The MartianAndy Weir★★★★★★★★★★This novel has everything! Suspense, humor, steamy romance, space pirates! Ok, ok, one of those things is not true. As for the rest, only thing I can say is: What a ride!, I am…

  11/22/63Stephen King★★★★★★★★★★I had put out this book because I am not a big fan of historical fiction, also the premise was pretty thin although interesting. After reading this book I confirm that I am not…

  Schrodinger's GatRobert KroeseAs opposed to his Mercury series, this novel is less absurd but also not as funny, it presents a world that while really improbable is not entirely impossible, the use of science is apparently…
• 
  Mercury RestsRobert Kroese★★★★★★★★★★I loved the entire series, book 1 is a great setting and books 2 and 3 feel like a single story that had to be cut in half, but you don't feel any dragging…
• 
  Mercury RisesRobert Kroese★★★★★★★★★★I actually liked this one better than the first book, kept me chuckling much more and it was hard not to finish in as few sittings as possible.

  Mercury FallsRobert Kroese★★★★★★★★★★Really funny book, throws any preconceptions away in the first page so you can accept anything to come in the rest of the book
• 
  Speaker for the DeadOrson Scott Card★★★★★★★★★★I loved the book, the author is despicable, I hope no one else reads his books.
