Airedale

Gritty, relentless, uniquely West Yorkshire and above all, realistic. Come for the plot, stay for the intense detail, well-drawn characters and well-thought-out political backdrop.
Perihelion Summer
Recommended by
sohkamyung
An interesting tale of immediate survival in the face of catastrophic climate change. Compared to his previous stories, there isn't as much 'hard science' involved here, but surviving the changes would involve making tough decisions about how they can prepare and save themselves from the oncoming global crises.
The Fury of Blacky Jaguar
Recommended by
sakina
Noir-with-a-vengeance, this story drags you round downtown NYC, giving you tonnes of action, gratuitous violence and guns, in return for a 2-hour read. Tightly written, well described, and leaves you breathless.
Fermi's Wake: For the Trees
Recommended by
kevin
My absolute favourite Fermi book so far!
For the Trees is a stunning, heartbreaking, mind-blowing novella that should be winning awards everywhere.
Chris shows the heights his writing can reach with this story. Peeling back layers as the true nature of both story strands unfold.
Read this today!
A Taste of Honey
Recommended by
kevin
The beauty of the prose is only matched by the imagination behind the world-building. This novella, while short, breaks my heart, reforms it, and breaks it once more.
While the writing itself might not be to everyone's tastes, you cannot deny its beauty. Each sentence is carved and crafted, each paragraph moulded into art.
Reading Kai Ashante Wilson's work is an experience not to be missed.

The Voyages of Cinrak the Dapper
Recommended by
kevin
A. J. Fitzwater has written a beautiful, hopeful, light-filled and joyous book!
This mosaic title filled with anthropomorphic rodents, sea creatures, mer folk and... cats, will more than make you smile. With a swashbuckling capybara pirate captain and chinchilla kraken-communicating ship's mate adventuring with their pure hearts to... bearded islands...? You'll never want this adventure to end!
Evolution

Absolutely superb. Gutting, terrifying, and hopeful.
The Last Words of Madeleine Anderson
Recommended by
kevin
The Last Words of Madeleine Anderson by Helen Kitson is a post-modern tale of friendship and fate, where the truth is only a simulacrum of itself. It's probably literary, but it's far more accessible than that suggests.
This is a truly accessible modern classic that should be winning all the awards.
It's tense while cozy. It's suspenseful while relaxed.
And it's very, very good.
