KILLING DRAGONS: Order of the Dolphin, Book One by Kristie Clark – Environmental Thrillers, Navy SEAL Dolphins Sci-fi, Human-Animal Communications Thrillers
A smart, science fiction thriller that will have readers looking twice at dolphins – and scanning the waters for something far more menacing. Highly recommended.
A DIVINE WIND by Norman M. Jacobs MD, MS – Technothrillers, Literature and Fiction, Environmental Thrillers
An intelligent techno-thriller that won’t leave you even after the final page is read. Highly recommended!
ORPHAN DREAMER: Little Peach Lies, She Laughs Last, and The Missing Arrowhead (Books 1, 3, 9) by J Nell Brown – Black & African American Sci-fi, Black & African American 90-minute Sci-fi & Fantasy Short Reads, Teen & Young Adult Time Travel
Rich, well-told Sci-fi Shorts about strong women who yearn to be understood and accepted for who they are. Highly recommended.
TO BE ENLIGHTENED by Alan J. Steinberg, MD – Metaphysical Science Fiction, Magic Realism, Metaphysical and Visionary
Set aside time for this eastern philosophical science fiction meant for audiences who yearn to be enlightened.
REVIVAL (Gaia Origin, Book 2) by Dan McWhorter – Colonization Sci-fi, Genetic Engineering Sci-fi, Artificial Intelligence Sci-fi
A fresh look at the scary and exhilarating role AI may play in our future. Speculative Sci-fi at its best. Highly recommended.

The 2020 CYGNUS Book Awards for Science Fiction – the Long List – CIBAs
The first announcements of the 2020 Chanticleer International Book Awards division judging rounds! Join us as the excitement builds for the 2020 CYGNUS Book Awards for Science Fiction.
INSYNNIUM by Tim Cole – Science Fiction, Dark Humor, Time Travel
Appropriate to a novel about time travel, there is considerable time-shifting from chapter to chapter that will require readers to stay on their toes as they work through this 500-page novel. And like any skilled author who plants clues neatly in the text – clues that are keys to resolving the overarching mysteries in the book - Cole does the same. What can we say? Here’s an impressive novel by a major new talent, and one we highly recommend keeping an eye on.
ASCENSION – KELAHYA UNBOUND by V. & D. Povall – Space Opera, Science Fiction, Epic Fantasy
Welcome to a brave new world with weird and wonderful beings, unique destinations, strong characters, and a good feel for life at the top of a galactic empire with a remarkable level of detail, very much in the spirit of Isaac Asimov’s famed Foundation trilogy. The first Space Opera from the creative-duo of V & D Povall, and one that's sure to be a hit. Highly recommended!
