Alien

Books

Cover for Sandkings

Great novella, you can find it online to read for free.

Cover for Redshirts

If you’ve watched more than a season of Star Trek (any version), then you’ll probably enjoy this

Can be a little tricky to keep the Chinese names straight, but some really interesting ideas. Each book is quite different.

The two books are interesting takes on foreign intelligence. The third book is skippable.

Cover for The Mercy of Gods

First book in the new series by the authors of The Expanse, shows promise.

Cover for The Kaiju Preservation Society

Popcorn read that is pretty much what you expect from the title. Enjoyable read, but I’m surprised it was nominated for the Hugo.

Cover for Alien Clay

Hard sci-fi with some interesting ideas for an alien ecosystem. Pairs well with Parasite Rex

Cover for The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet

A bit too cutesy for my taste, but came highly recommended so might still read the others in the series.

There are over 15 books in this series, not ready to dedicate that much time here

Cover for Armada

A forgettable failed attempt to re-capture the spirit of Ready Player One
