It’s not exactly a romance but there are romantic elements in it. Heed the warnings listed in the blurb for most of them apply to this story. Justin is … Read more

New Denver - Ryan Southwick

Genre: Sci-Fi, Post Apocalyptic Reviewer: Scott Get It On Amazon About The Book Fi’s destiny becomes clear, and it’s the opposite of what she wanted: vast, mired in politics, and critically important to far more than her beloved Earth.

The only thing he finds of interest is the Mars Museum—especially after his blind white eye spots an alien artifact in one of the exhibits that no one else can see. Even that … Read more
