Alastair Reynolds recommends
The Future (2023)
Naomi Alderman
"The Future couldn't be more timely, or more welcome. It's the book we need right now. It manages to be a persuasive, carefully thought-through manual for social and technological change, a roadmap to a better, greener, kinder tomorrow - a world that's ours for the taking if we want it badly enough - while also a rollicking, fun-packed thriller with juicy stakes, constantly escalating twists, and a cast of characters who feel like they already exist somewhere out there in our fragile, free-wheeling present."
A Stranger in the Citadel (2023)
Tobias S Buckell
"Tobias Buckell packs a trilogy's worth of action and invention into this riotously-paced novel, which builds to a moving conclusion. It's an exciting and surprising book, a thriller which also happens to be a thoughtful meditation on power, knowledge and loyalty."
Ethera Grave (2023)
(Graven, book 3)
Essa Hansen
"A sucker punch to the senses...A killer story with real heart and soul."
Artifact Space (2021)
(Arcana Imperii)
Miles Cameron
"Take an extremely likeable hero, throw in a clever and engaging re-mapping of real-world naval aviation procedures onto a detailed futuristic canvas, then wrap the whole thing up in a satisfyingly mysterious universe with some intriguing aliens, and you have a winner!"
Salvation (2018)
(Salvation Sequence, book 1)
Peter F Hamilton
"Hamilton knows how to build a world, and he’s one of the best in the field at imagining complex societies. Just as important, though, he knows how to populate his future environments with real-seeming people whose lives extend beyond the page. Salvation is a twisty and hugely satisfying SF thriller that opens a portal on a new and exciting series."
Revenant Gun (2018)
(Machineries Of Empire trilogy, book 3)
Yoon Ha Lee
"Ninefox Gambit is effortlessly accomplished SF novel. Yoon Ha Lee has arrived in spectacular fashion."
