Today, our choice of sci-fi is J. Darris Mitchell’s “Fireflies and Cosmos” (https://t.co/h5HNLZjij3). Fireflies is an exhilarating fictional work, and in our never-ending tributes to incredible works in all the galaxies of the fantastic, we’re not going to pass including this one on top of our list for today. For certain, we discover a yarn that is strikingly ingenious in its emotional content. If you have time for anything today, you’ve got to appreciate how sci-fi readers react. In the words of an obviously enthused reader, “A sci-fi story about a scientific crew and their mission to explore and categorize seeded planets. Part Star Trek, part Starship Trooper, and part Margaret Atwood and Henry David Thoreau’s writing- all in a bite-size format. J Darris has great knowledge about the natural world and incorporates some of his biological background to write scifi about terraforming and astrobiology. The plants and animals that the author has created are novel and interesting. So is the overarching mystery and background story of the original planetary seeders and the Corporations. There’s even a bit of romantic spice to mix things up. I enjoyed reading about the universe that the author has created and cannot wait to read the next series and see where the crew of the Artemis ends up next!” If you made it through this sincere tribute, you might as well continue one small step further and get a copy of the book yourself. If not, stay tuned until we discover the next epic science fiction author of the generation. We all hope it will happen soon.
