Volatile Memory (2025)
(Volatile Memory Duology, book 1)
Seth Haddon
"A dark but tender story about love, vengeance, the masks we wear for ourselves and others, and the never-ending quest for a more perfect sense of self. It's a beautifully intimate story set in the sprawl of space, especially recommended for fans of This is How You Lose the Time War."
thumb
This Great Hemisphere (2024)
Mateo Askaripour
"This Great Hemisphere is a tense, urgent exploration of power in all its forms and how it corrupts. It's a story of America and subjugation and hope and all the things some may choose not to see. An allegory reminiscent of Colson Whitehead's Intuitionist and Zone One, this one will keep your brain churning long after you've finished it."

Ghost Station (2024)
S A Barnes
"A skin-crawling, delicious tale of exploration, exploitation, and electrifying horror. I loved (and screeched through) every moment of it."
