Seanan McGuire’s “Spores” in particular can still make me shudder (I swear, that woman will never run out of ways to end us all). Full of horror and that “of course we’ll be fine” brand of false hope, The End is Nigh does a standout job of setting up future installments (featured in The End is Now and The End Has Come) or, for those standalone tales, leaving you with a feeling of well-placed dread. All of the stories in this collection focus on, not surprisingly, world-ending scenarios. The End is Nigh (Apocalypse Triptych Book 1) by Tananarive Due, Ken Liu, Seanan McGuire, and othersįinally, with this first book of the Apocalypse Triptych, we have authors of color represented with the stories “The Gods Will Not Be Chained” by Ken Liu and “Removal Order” by Tananarive Due (still not enough, Amazon). There are five books in the series-plenty to keep you entertained for the rest of the summer. Now Julius has 30 days to wander a future cityscape ripped right out of Blade Runner and prove he’s worthy of his clan name (and scaly alternate form). That is, until his matriarch decides she’s done with his milquetoast behavior and locks him in human form. Julius, the titular “nice dragon,” is the runt of his clan and stays alive mostly by staying out of the way. ![]() If you prefer your genre fiction with a few more scales and magic, but still want sci-fi, Aaron’s Heartstrikers series is a great place to start. It’s a gripping story that ends far from where it began and moves so fast, you’ll be loathe to put your ereader down for even a second (when I first read it, I kept reading at work on my iPhone). The current Omnibus Edition adds motion illustrations that can be viewed on your Kindle Fire (or other tablet). Howey has not rested on his laurels since he first self-published Wool and he’s continued to upgrade his breakout hit. Wool Omnibus Edition by Hugh HoweyĮven if you’ve already read Wool, even if you think there’s nothing new to glean from this claustrophobic, cautionary tale that’s part Fallout, part Westworld, you should add this book to your pull list. Side note, if you’ve already read Invasive, Chuck’s awesome “cornpunk” series that starts with Under an Empyrean Sky is also available on Kindle Unlimited. There’s genetic engineering, questionably aligned billionaires, secret island hideaways, and, oh yes, an ant-fueled, world-ending apocalypse. Wendig’s popcorn-thriller Invasive has everything that you need to fill that tiny little void in your soul. Anyone who still thinks every band needs a keytar player needs to check this one out.ĭid you just get out of Ant-Man and The Wasp and say to yourself “Gee, I wish there was more formian fiction in the world?” Well you’re in luck my ant-obsessed friend. It’s a great read and Sophie Cambell’s art does an amazing job of updating the look but still retaining that neon-soaked glam-rock feel. It’s got all the drama you remember, from sabotage by the Misfits to relationships between, well, I won’t spoil it because that’s half the fun. The always amazing Kelly Thompson pens this reboot of the ’80s series in which meek singer Jerrica discovers her father’s life work, the aforementioned Synergy, which transforms her into the superstar Jem. To them, I would argue that the title character uses a sentient holographic computer to overcome her shyness. Some may argue with me that Jem is not truly outrageous enough to head up a list of sci-fi and fantasy titles.
