Wesley Chu recommends

The Fold (2015)
Peter Clines
"A little Crichton and a little Sherlock--and sure to please fans of both."

The Desert Prince (2020)
(Nightfall Saga, book 1)
Peter V Brett
"The Desert Prince is a deeply intimate, yet epic adventure. Heart-wrenching, smart, and modern, this book kept me wide-eyed and wide awake for many-a-nights as I struggled step-for-step alongside Olive and Darin from the green lands to the desert pits to the darkest recesses of the demon minds. The Desert Prince has set a new standard for fantasy."

Sixteenth Watch (2020)
Myke Cole
"Myke Cole has raised the bar on military sci-fi. Sixteenth Watch pushes the envelope into new and exciting territory."

Any Sign of Life (2021)
Rae Carson
"Any Sign of Life is a heartbreaking story filled with courage, friendship, and personality. Paige Miller is the perfect team-up buddy in an apocalypse. I was with her when she lost everything, and stood right next to her when she took it all back."

Child of Light (2021)
(Child of Light, book 1)
Terry Brooks
"With a unique setting that is a heady dystopic blend of mysticism and the future, Child of Light is an otherworldly adventure from the fertile mind of one of the most beloved storytellers of our generation."

The Paradox Hotel (2022)
Rob Hart
"A tricky and trippy mystery that keeps the reader guessing and thinking well past the very last page."
