The Void - Dark sci-fi space opera.
The Okkarren:
Strange broad and squat creatures with radial symmetry. Widely regarded to be superb engineers and a spiritual people who view their chief god as an engineer.
Friendly with the Republic, though they are difficult to negotiate with diplomatically due to their unwavering dedication to the truth.
After finally catching up on reviews I had 8 books to share in my newsletter yesterday. Actually more, because 2 of those were series 😁

Conn Teel is the arch-villain of The Void. Immortal by use of the Incarnate technology, he rules over an empire with the venal vindictiveness of the Roman emperors.
But, whilst still on his first body, he helped build the first orbital habitats, helping mankind escape the poison Earth.
Conn Teel is a villain, sure, but he is a villain that did indeed save humanity from itself.

The Void - Dark sci-fi space opera.
The Naled:
Far more intelligent, emotional and individual than humanity thinks. No queen, no hive mind, and adaptable DNA, they are not a technological species, but a biomechanical one.
Whatever obstacle is thrown in their way, there is a Naled subspecies dedicated to overcoming it. They even fly through the void inside their own spaceborne kin.
The Void - Dark sci-fi space opera.
The Makeen:
The embodiment of the term 'eco-warrior', these saurian conservationists are as savage as their appearance suggests. And yet, in many ways they are more cultured and caring than humanity is.
Since the inception of the Republic, they have started to view humans in a better light, and are working with them to restore planetary environments.

The Void - Dark sci-fi space opera.
The Kollomeen:
Ephemeral and fragile, no species appreciates life more than the Kollomeen and, as such, they make perfect peacemakers, acting as diplomats to the universe.
Strangely, they have an exceptionally strong bond with the violent, hedonistic Ju'Jinkai, bonding through a shared sense of humour and their love of art.
Last call to preorder with a 20% off discount! NEXT OF KIN is a sci-fi retelling of the biblical story of Ruth. #scifibooks #scifi #spacewestern #scifiromance #debut2023 #newbooks
The Void - Dark sci-fi space opera.
The Ju'Jinkai:
Evolved from aquatic predators, they hail from a planet where existence is a struggle, and premature death is common. As a result, it has made them a hedonistic and violent culture.
Terrifying as these creatures may be, they also possess a rich sense of humour and appreciate their allies, being close allies with the pacifist Kollomeen.
The Void - Dark sci-fi space opera.
The Fillim:
Spindly insectoids with a bizarre appearance, the Fillim are one of the elder species. They are sociable and immensely intelligent, and even share elements of humour with humanity.
The first to accept that the Republic might represent humanity turning a corner, they are investing heavily in their support of a more progressive society.
I'm reading Children of Time (about halfway through?) and so far it's brilliant, so I picked up the rest of the trilogy today :). Humans accidentally uplift a civilisation of Jumping Spiders as part of a terraforming project, what could possibly go wrong? :) #scifi
I'd say "warning: not for arachnophobes" but considering I am one it's not traumatising me too much - at least the author picked the cute ones :). I just view the spiders as an alien race really, but they're really well done! Definitely worth picking up, I'd say. #scifi #scifibooks
After finishing the 9th book in Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache cozy Quebec murder mystery series, it was time to get back to my roots… #SCIFI!!!
First up before re-re-reading the Murderbot series from @marthawells is The Terraformers by @annaleen 💕💕💕
Only 4% in but off to a super interesting good start!
The most sympathetic of the 'villains' in The Void, Yiu Quon is someone who started out with noble intentions, but was eventually corrupted by too many compromises and political reality.
Despite his advancing years and cynical perspective, he still holds out hope that the end will justify the means. But how does one judge such a man? By intent, action, or consequence?
Happy (Black) Friday! If you aren't interested in big price tag products or you're tired of chasing the oh-so-many discounts, but you wouldn't mind grabbing a few fantasy and science fiction books, check out this indie sale. All books are 0.99 or free.

The Void - Dark sci-fi space opera.
The Eyrians:
One of the elder species of the universe, and godlike next to humanity. They also see themselves as shepherds for the younger species.
Their intent is to guide, but they also believe in strict discipline, and they punish those species that violate their edicts. The only real problem with this is that their rules are not always understood.
The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula Le Guin is considered a sci-fi classic for a reason. It invites readers to a thought experiment: what would a genderless society be like? At the same time, it explores spirituality, politics, human relationships, social norms, friendship, patriotism and other issues, that are all intertwined. It's an intellectual work that allowed me to look at our culture from a different perspective.

Things are looking bleak for Joe in Part 6 of Null Vector, a sci-fi noir thriller. https://davidmkelly.com/null-vector06/ #scifi #scifibooks #books #free #readerscommunity
The Void - Dark sci-fi space opera.
The Dantikar:
Cosmic capitalists with strong familial bonds and feudal system.
But it is not their sole defining trait, as they also have well-defined family bonds, and a deep and complex spiritual mythos.
Of all the species humanity has encountered, it is the Dantikar that are the closest in nature save for one aspect: they are not as aggressive.
TEASER!
NEXT OF KIN
#scifi #scifibooks #spacewestern #scifiromance #debutauthor #debut2023
The Void - Dark sci-fi space opera.
The Cadir:
Xenophobic does not do this species justice as a descriptor. Their fanaticism drives them into periodic wars with their hated enemy, humanity. The conflict usually ends up being halted by the Eyrians once it gets too heated.
Evolved from a mollusc-like creature, they are slower but surprisingly resilient, and also far smarter than initial appearances may suggest.

Namor Skenn is a character I wanted to subvert some expectations, and also to explore just how dehumanising it can be to have one's emotions suppressed.
He's spent most of his life with some emotions suppressed, and others left intact. Fear was left intact, on the basis that it helped keep him alive.
Skenn inadvertently sets himself on a path towards redemption, but the sins of his past may prove too much for him.
The Strong Women, Strange Worlds Holiday Extravaganza is coming up! I’ll be participating in the 4pm “Whose Scene is it Anyway” by reading a couple of quick excerpts from my #SciFi #Nutcracker retelling, STEEL TREE.

The Void - Dark sci-fi space opera.
Everett Creed:
In a universe where dictators hoard all the best criminal hustles, and mercilessly persecute those who seek to make their fortunes through morally dubious means, Everett sees an advantage in aligning with the resistance fighters who oppose Conn Teel.
But his reputation for dismembering those who cross him make him a hazardous potential ally.

I enjoyed #PierceBrown 's 6th book in the #RedRising series, #Lightbringer .
Minor annoyance, his tendency to [not very] discreetly hide Monty Python, Big Lebowski, etc references in lighter parts. Totally destroys the immersion.
But fun series. I thought this was going to be the last book, but I guess at least one more will be coming up.
The Void - Dark sci-fi space opera.
Leric Corsanis
The pragmatic foil to Daedaric Varr's idealism and one of the four leaders of a resistance against the Teel Corporation.
Respects Daedaric enormously, but they do butt heads frequently as Leric is more accepting of the moral grey area.
Smarter than his burly frame might suggest, and gifted with a superlative tactical mindset.
https://www.ratchman.com/characters/character-profile-leric-corsanis
The Void - Dark sci-fi space opera.
Daedaric Varr:
Terrorist or freedom fighter depending on your allegiance. Highly principled individual desperately trying to mount some opposition to Conn Teel and his dynasty.
The realities of conducting a guerrilla resistance are the cause of constant torment to this idealistic individual, and the weight of collateral casualties sits heavily on his shoulders.

Mira Candor:
Feared sapient acquisition specialist. The definition of criminal can be a little hazy, depending on the territory, but Mira doesn't care. Whatever brings the credits in.
A former slave, Mira has developed a burning hatred for the trade. If you're a slaver, and you're wanted, it's always dead, never alive.

Loren Roth:
Spy and information broker operating within the criminal underworld, she is a woman with a horrific past who is trying to piece herself together again. More than happy to exploit the criminal community for her own gain.
Known to have some form of relationship with the notorious bounty-hunter Mira Candor, though details are unknown.

The Void - Dark sci-fi space opera.
Kang Si-Woo:
Pirate Queen of the Dokkaebi and equally charming, principled and devil-may-care. She is a scoundrel by nature, and a leader by circumstance.
But when a renegade Aleph Corporation fleet enters her slice of Wild Space, an opportunity presents itself to broaden her horizons that she could have scarcely conceived.
https://www.ratchman.com/characters/character-profile-kang-siwoo
Marcus Bezalian, self-professed genius tech entrepreneur, is the most business-focused of the corporate leaders in The Void.
But, like the society he founded, it is a false façade. He's as oppressive and despotic as the other rulers, but his narcissism has him believing his own propaganda.
He may view the universe as a transactional ruleset, but it is a weak justification for his own avarice.

So... The Calculating Stars. This book has won multiple awards, and is popular with readers. The opening scene pulled me right in — it was so urgent, fast-paced and cool. But then the pacing turned glacial. The incessant sexism, which was very accurate, because the story is set in the 50s, grew tiring & frustrating, and the main couple's relationship felt stale. I found that the book wasn't for me. Have you read it? https://alinaleonova.net/blog/the-calculating-stars

Shi Yin:
Working for the Yeung Corporation, she is a small and quiet woman who blends into a crowd. She is an expert gunslinger and brawler. But what makes her dangerous is her lack of restraint.
The brutality of her childhood has forged her into a merciless adult with scant respect for human life, but she does have her limits.

Meet the kassilar! A mythical animal from my book #WildFlowersElectricBeasts that makes music with its entire body! 🥰 Here you can see the pipes under its wings, the strings around its tail, and the holes in its head — all are meant to make music 🎶 But not everything is visible, there are more musical organs all over its body. It makes music effortlessly while dancing or flying or just moving around. This is the animal Balika (one of the main characters) bonds with.

Have you read Ursula Le Guin's "The Word For World Is Forest"? Just the title itself drew me to this story, and I really loved it. It might be uncomplicated in it's portrayal of good vs. evil, and some readers criticize it for the lack of subtlety. But does everything have to be subtle? Is it necessary to portray the violence of colonialism with nuance and balance? Does it always serve the purpose of the story?

The Void - Dark sci-fi space opera.
Viktor Heller:
Genial and good-humoured, Viktor struggles with ill-health. Yet it would be foolish to underestimate this old man, as he never lost his ruthlessness or awareness.
His family are split down the middle as a result of his darker personality traits, and yet he does genuinely love them. The tragedy is that he is the one driving them away.

An ancient life-form has been hiding on Earth. A creature that defies human understanding of biology, chemistry, and physics. Something capable of destroying entire biomes and making all life extinct.
The Black series chronicles the creature’s discovery, those caught in its maelstrom, and their efforts to both understand it as well as destroy it.

This is a #BookReview of another Ann Leckie's novel, Provenance, set in the Imperial Radch universe, but exploring other cultures. It has good world-building & character development, and plays with various themes: prison break, family drama, heist, political intrigue, weird aliens. Not sure why I liked it less than the trilogy because it sounds really good 😁 Maybe it was the pacing that seemed slow despite various events and subjects 🤔 https://alinaleonova.net/blog/provenance

Today, I'm sharing a #BookReview of Ann Leckie's Ancillary trilogy. Even though it's a space opera, it focuses more on the personal and local. It's quite heavy on wold-building and exposition related to culture and manners. It explores some interesting themes, like personhood, dehumanizing the enemy, class and cultural differences, and (the meaninglessness of) gender. It's not subtle in exposing colonization & subjugation. What do you think? https://alinaleonova.net/blog/imperial-radch-ancillary-trilogy

The Void
Science fiction drama set in the 42nd century following the power games between the human empires that have flourished since humanity took to the stars.
All but one of the human empires are ruled over by venal misanthropes with little regard, if any, for their people. All that matters are power, and profit.
They have been locked into a cold war for millennia, but that is finally starting to thaw.
I've just posted a sneak peek of the first chapter of my upcoming novel #WildFlowersElectricBeasts 🙌 Check it out! https://alinaleonova.net/blog/extinguished-fire

Cleaning out my hard drive and found this gif I made of @annaleen doing a #science experiment on io9 years ago. @io9
I'm reading Annalee's #ScienceFiction book, "The Future of Another Timeline" It's very relevant today--especially in this timeline. I just did a search & as of September 14, 2023 abortion is banned in 17 states.
I'm thinking I should have grown a goatee, but I'm still hopeful @charliejane

I'm enjoing SILO, but in a different way to the books. But perhaps the most under-celebrated part of it is it's credits sequence. Here's why (major spoilers!):

They are the largest minority in the world. They have no rights. They are told how to think, how to worship, and how to socialize.
They are children.
Some will grow up and repeat the pattern.
Some will break from the vicious cycle and use their voices whether it be in the present or in the far, far future.
How to Make Friends with Teenage Anarchists is a collection of young adult stories spanning many genres that will make you think twice about children and join their rebellion.

“OMG, you’re a writer, really?” Well, I’d like to think so – monetizing a creative hobby has real ‘late stage capitalist dystopia’ vibes but, whatever. I’ve got bills to pay and cats to feed. Here’s more about my stupid scifi stories:
