Leviathan Wakes by James Corey
Noir, space opera, rogue corporate interests and a power play between Earth, Mars and outer planets.
Embassytown by China Miéville
As a concept, I like Embassytown. As a novel, I found it disappointing.
The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu
First: Survival is the primary need of civilization. Second: Civilization continually grows and expands, but the total matter in the universe remains constant.
Company Town by Madeline Ashby
How to defeat a threat from the future in a time of augmented people? Enlist a non-hackable, organic human with a penchant for violence and martial arts.
Dust by Hugh Howey
The final novel of the Silo Series makes up for the lackluster second novel, Shift.
