Dan Wells recommends

The Ghost of Us (2024)
James L Sutter
"I was in a slump where I hated everything I read, and The Ghost of Us lifted me right out of it. Absolutely fantastic."
thumb
The Surviving Sky (2023)
(Rages Trilogy, book 1)
Kritika H Rao
"Precise, exquisite, and jaw-dropping. The world is rich and alien and wonderfully new, grounded by characters so familiar they ache. I loved every page."
thumb
A Memory Called Empire (2019)
(Teixcalaan, book 1)
Arkady Martine
"A Memory Called Empire . . . is so frigging good. It's like a space opera murder mystery combined with all the political parts of Dune."
