Story4.5 out of 5 stars 159
When Van Tudor returns to his childhood home, he inherits more than the family farm. His grandfather used to tell him fantastic stories of spacemen and monsters, princesses and galactic knights. Little did Van realize, the old man's tales were more than fiction; they were real. Hidden beneath the old barn, Van’s legacy is waiting: a starship, not of this world. With his combat AI, an android bird named Perry, Van takes his first steps into the wider galaxy. He soon finds that space is far busier and more dangerous than he could have ever conceived.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 886
More than two centuries after World War III poisoned the planet, the final bastion of humanity lives on massive airships circling the globe in search of a habitable area to call home. Aging and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to Earth long ago. The only thing keeping the two surviving lifeboats in the sky are Hell Divers - men and women who risk their lives by skydiving to the surface to scavenge for parts the ships desperately need.

All Systems Red is the tense first science fiction adventure novella in Martha Wells' series The Murderbot Diaries. For fans of Westworld, Ex Machina, Ann Leckie's Imperial Raadch series, or Iain M. Banks' Culture novels. The main character is a deadly security droid that has bucked its restrictive programming and is balanced between contemplative self-discovery and an idle instinct to kill all humans.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 15
Cole Riker is a Slip Runner. A contractor tasked with finding alien salvage in exchange for credits. For an ex-smuggler like Cole, there’s a catch: Don’t break the terms of parole. That means doing things by the book. Find salvage, turn it in, get paid. But everything changes when a retrieval mission lands him in a previously unknown sector. There, he finds the material he’s been sent to recover, along with something more. A brand-new form of ancient alien life.

Ranger Quinn thought that morning would be like so many others. A hangover, a day off before going back to work keeping the lower levels of Zion City safe from itself. But a crime so horrific, so brutal in its execution, turns those mundane expectations around. An investigation into the death of a senior leader in their underground utopia safe from the harsh radioactive wastelands beyond their walls forces Quinn beyond that safety and into the world outside.

Publisher's Summary
The Expansion: Publisher's Pack includes Recon, book one, and Contact, book two.
The universe is expanding, and so is humanity’s reach.
Years after clean energy ended the world’s reliance on fossil fuels, a lull of peace encompasses all of humanity. Some think we should travel to the distant corners of the galaxy; others oppose the idea, thinking that the harnessed singularity reactors are unnatural.
When a terrorist group attacks the Lunar colony, members of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force are divided as a result of the incursion.
Years later, Lieutenant Commander Kyle Torres comes face to face with old friends, as he’s thrown into an assignment that could change everything: a reconnaissance mission with huge implications for humanity and science alike.

lengthy - needs editing
it must be difficult to attempt an epic of interspecies conflict. the set up was well done but the actual story was too laboured for me to actually enter the world. after a good start it just got a tad boring and predictable. hope the author goes on to write more erudite novels as the imagination and tech skills are there.
I'd encourage more use of an editor.

A great beginning to a series
To put it simply: A great story with interesting (if sometimes a tiny bit too simple) characters.
The sci-fi progress within the story is awesome! I didn't expect this to become at all what it did, and enjoyed the journey there, so I shall not spoil at all.
I found the ending to be rather sudden and inelegant, but it does leave me wanting more and impatient for the next instalment.
The only thing I actively disliked about this story was when the narrator did the Australian womans voice.
As an Australian myself, her voice was ridiculous.
She sounded more like a he (as opposed to the other female characters who if not introduced as female I would have guessed so in moments), and her particular accent was hardly the kind of regional accent I would expect of a woman who would go through the kind of training/career needed to become the captain of a ship.
More like a woman who is somewhat closer to being a bogan (trailer trash, white trash, other somewhat derisive comparisons to a lower socioeconomic class and uncultured person), and I certainly don't mean to use those terms offensively, but I'm sure people will understand what I mean.
Her portrayal really threw me and is the only reason the "Performance" gets a 4 not a 5.

The performance- wow!
The voice performer of this story was outstanding. I couldn’t believe it was only one person until I checked the title information. He brought all the diverse characters to life and enhanced the narrative. Wonderful work.
