Thanks for the review. Jeff Brown did the cover art -- I love his work. And you pronounced my name right 🙂

Would you ever consider doing a video summary of Forgetting Moon and Blackest Heart? I keep meaning to get to the last book in the series, but I feel like I have forgotten important elements of the plot/lore. I think it would be a lot of fun to hear you tell your own story as well as see what you consider the most important parts of the books!

I know it's your policy to only review books you've enjoyed, Brian, but why not grace us with the Top 10 of books you didn't. That would be interesting.

I JUST picked this book up myself and I've been LOVING IT!! I'm so glad you liked it too!! I found it so fresh and addicting... thank you for posting about it

I'm currently reading Pillars again and I can't get over just how amazing this book is and how quick the hook is.

Best channel in the cosmos

I ordered this book because of your review, Brian.

Sounds really interesting - on the TBR it goes. I already read "The Misfit Soldier" by Michael Mammay some time ago (it was recommended by the YT Channel "Lee Reads") and that was very good too - a heist story taking place during a space war... something like Old Man's War meets Oceans Eleven.

I just read Scott Westerfeld's obscure Evolution's Darling. I think he was in love with Samuel Delany at the time.

I've read all of Mammay's books. They are very enjoyable. Try the others.

[epiphoney]

Sometimes I wish these books had diagrams for us older people with tired imaginations.

i notice you have not reviewed any Adrian Tchaikovsky. the Children of Time trilogy is a huge sprawling opera concerning ark ships and uplift terraforming.

So I also love the generation ship/colony ship sub-genre (and just learned that it exists). Can anyone recommend a few other great generation ship novels?
