Story
Compiled by intrepid journalist Neve Pride, this archive of recordings spans the months after dragons emerged on earth, chronicling the communities that sprang up amid the destruction, the scientists, military leaders, and experts searching for a defense, and those steadfastly seeking the missing. Neve and her young daughter Bex travel among the wreckage speaking to those left behind and surviving, against all odds. Neve records everything for history, and in the hopes of locating a clue as to where the dragons came from and how one might stop them.

Decent Dragon Story

This is a dragon story told in a journalistic style. If you’re a dragon story fan, you’ll recognize some literary references. It’s a good tale.

Old Fashioned Detective Story (Mostly)
Reviewed: 04-30-25
It was an old fashioned detective story set in the 50’s in LA. There are non-white characters, so when they interact with white characters you can expect some stereotypical attitudes to happen. It’s a good story with plenty of twists and turns. All of the main characters have different actors, so they don’t have to tell you when the characters change, which made it a little difficult for me as I didn’t always recognize the change. Overall, it a good story.

Story
Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

The story is entertaining enough. If you’re looking for significant or out of the typical POV for SciFi, you won’t find it here, but it will do.

The great city of Tova is shattered. The sun is held within the smothering grip of the Crow God’s eclipse, but a comet that marks the death of a ruler and heralds the rise of a new order is imminent. The Meridian: a land where magic has been codified and the worship of gods suppressed. How do you live when legends come to life, and the faith you had is rewarded?

Loving This Trilogy

I like loved getting to know the main characters more in this trilogy. Is there a lot of set up? Yes, but it only makes me more anxious for the next book. I love this whole ensemble. I can’t wait for more.

Story
Hilketa is a frenetic and violent pastime where players attack each other with swords and hammers. The main goal of the game: obtain your opponent's head and carry it through the goalposts. With flesh and bone bodies, a sport like this would be impossible. But all the players are "threeps", robot-like bodies controlled by people with Haden's Syndrome, so anything goes. No one gets hurt, but the brutality is real, and the crowds love it. Until a star athlete drops dead on the playing field.

Not too long from today, a new, highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu, fever, and headaches. But for the unlucky one percent - and nearly five million souls in the United States alone - the disease causes "Lock In": Victims fully awake and aware, but unable to move or respond to stimulus. The disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. The world changes to meet the challenge.
