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.

Cover for Hominids

A parallel world where Neanderthals won instead of us.

The evolution and biology of a vastly different form of life living on a neutron star. Some interesting ideas, but should have been half the length. Written in the 80s and showing it’s age.

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.
