I don’t get much time these days to read anything substantive. I subscribe to 3 print and two e-science fiction magazines, which give me great pleasure. They say the Golden Age of Science Fiction is 11, and that’s about right for me! Hooked ever since."
Ah.... Me to
Caves of steel, Issac Asimov . And I was also hooked
Like many I have read a certain type then got bored and switched genres.
Sci fi - horror - war - history - action.. But my first choice is always sci fi
Anyone with a small interest in the genre, might like
WOOL Trilogy.
Post disaster ( nuclear war).
Lots of old fashioned personal interactions, Central characters pretty interesting, nice take on how society might evolve if we had to hide beneath surface for extended periods
Premise is original and does make you think
" what if"
Decent read, I bought the one (kindle ) on recommendation of reviews. (was an online book released chapter by chapter as writer literally finished each section)
Liked enough to buy the trilogy .
Two others I have read and then read again recently.
The end of the world running club.
More typical disaster scenario, guys let the wives and family leave in rescue helicopter, then are forced to make their own way from Scotland to the south coast in a most disjointed UK.
I liked it for the human take, and the running made me want to take it up, helped with the T2D DX coming quickly on its heels not long after I read it.
And
The Stone man.
More a novel for inside a sci fi compendium
But enjoyable none the less.
Alien artifact appears on earth
No seemingly real danger... Until it moves on a projected path... With one goal .. Leaving devastation in its wake.
Seems very English in how it flows from the page
Ending didn't quite pan out as I expected, but the sense of dread and inevitability was nicely portayed.
Honourable mention must go to
the Martian.
Highly technically accurate apparently.
Mission lands on Mars.. Gets aborted
Others leave surface believing colleague is dead
But he's only stunned
His remarkable attempts to keep himself Alive in the face of a world doing it's best to kill him.
Made into a major movie.
