by
Soulmates - Mike Resnik & Lezli Robyn

Multiple award-winning authors, Mike Resnick and Lezli Robyn, get to the heart of the matter in Soulmates, which showcases all the words they have penned together over their years as collaborators (with a bonus solo piece by each). Whether a robot, alien, some kind of supernatural being or human, rising above our prejudices and ignorance allows us to make emotional connections that can have a profound effect on our lives. Each of these stories examine a facet of the simple, yet incredibly complex, concept of companionship. They will make you laugh; will make you cry…but most importantly they will make … Read more

REVIEW: Solomon’s Paradox – Kelly McClymer

by
Solomon's Paradox

About The Book A mother must deal with the shattering reality when science and the courts give her dead son a chance to tie up loose ends in the body of the friend who accidentally killed him. Get It On Amazon The Review Solomon’s Paradox is short – just thirty-three pages – but damn does it pack an emotional punch. McClymer calls it “Mom Sci-Fi,” but I think that sells the story short. Sure, the protagonist is a mother, but this is social sci-fi at its best, taking a fascinating idea and extrapolating it in the most personal terms. The … Read more

REVIEW: Dropnauts

by
Dropnauts - J. Scott Coatsworth

Just got a five-star review for Dropnauts on Amazon: Dropnauts is both a dystopian and a utopian novel, and a novel about what it means to be human, and how, when things are at their worst, sometimes we are our best. We can redeem ourselves, repair out mistakes. As author Lee Hunt says, the novel is “Fast, optimistic and entertaining. Coatsworth’s Dropnauts shows that forgiveness may the best fuel for redemption” (back cover). This is a novel of hope. According to the review in Publisher’s Weekly, “Redemption, perseverance, and identity … Readers will enjoy the diverse cast and high-tech adventure” … Read more

The Courier - HL Moore

Genre: Sci-Fi LGBTQ+ Category: Non-Binary Reviewer: Scott Get It On Amazon About The Book The job seemed simple enough: collect the package and deliver it to Europa within two days’ time, no questions asked. If only the client hadn’t lied about there being no catch… A tale from the Jovian Empire. The Review I just finished a new short by H.L. Moore. “The Courier” a quick read at just 32 pages. But boy does Moore rip through the scenery in that brief amount of time. Chen is a high-paid courier (don’t call them a smuggler) who transports valuable objects around … Read more
