Exit Strategy (2018) – Martha Wells
I love the Murderbot Diaries, I find them entertaining, fun, and funny as hell. Martha Wells has created a character and universe that I love revisiting. And with the size of the diary entries, none of the books so far have been much longer than a novella. This story circles back to check in on…
Stargate: Universe (2010) – Faith, and Human
Dennis McGrath wrote Faith, which debuted on 16 April, 2010. Young (Louis Ferreira) seems to be back in charge, but there is still a lot of animosity over the military and civilian conflict. Morale seems to be low, as repairs on the Destiny seem to be taking forever. When there’s an unexpected drop out of…
Stargate: Universe (2009) – Life, and Justice
Carl Binder wrote Life, which debuted on 20 November, 2009 and has the crew discovering something new aboard the Destiny, a neural interface, i.e. a very familiar looking chair.

Stargate: Universe (2009) – Earth, and Time
Martin Gero pens the teleplay for Earth from a story developed alongside series creators Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper.

Stargate: Atlantis (2006) – Irresistible, and Sateda
McKay (David Hewlett) is organizing the harvesting of stargates so they can make an intergalactic bridge that will allow transit from Earth to Atlantis in thirty minutes instead of three weeks. But the latest planet they’ve arrived on seems a little… interesting. Lots of lovely women, and a bit of a cult. Irresistible debuted on…
The Last Astronaut (2019) – David Wellington
Whatever 1I/2017 Oumuamua and now 3I/Atlas are, they fired my imagination. These intersolar voyagers are cloaked in mystery and possibilities. David Wellington’s novel, The Last Astronaut, takes that idea and runs with it giving us a cross of Crichton, Clarke and Lovecraft. A combination of science and wonder with unnerving horror. Sally Jansen was the…
Alien: Out of the Shadows (2014) – Tim Lebbon
It’s been a long time since I picked up an Alien novel. I dug the Alien 3 novel based on the original script by William Gibson, and before that I read Alan Dean Foster’s adaptation of Aliens bach when it first came out. But I was eager to dig into the universe again, I was…
