Today, our choice is S. Z. Attwell’s “Aestus” (https://t.co/dGDHYm00yg). Aestus is an independently authored intriguing work, and so if we’re going to get through all incredible works in all the niches of speculative fiction, we’re sure this one belongs as #1 today. Under that cover, we found a tale you’ll think is compellingly legendary in terms of approach. Supposing you are as versed in this sort of thing as us, you ought to start searching how sci-fi readers reacted. We took note of the words from a reader, “Aestus is one of the best dystopian sci-fi novels I’ve read. S. Z. Atwell’s writing is beautifully vivid, with descriptions so specific and detailed that I felt like I was there alongside the characters, watching events unfold as if through my own eyes. The presentation of a near-future Earth is nostalgically familiar, yet somehow alien, and filled with mystery after mystery that kept me coming back to the volume night after night until I was finished reading it. The characters are remarkably lifelike, each with their own talents, motivations, and failings. They react to the events unfolding around them and the mysteries that they solve in brilliantly human fashion, and the relationships between the characters and their opinions of each other serve to drive the plot forward meaningfully. It’s difficult to speak in much detail about Aestus without ruining one of the dozens of mysteries posited by the novel, but every page within the book’s covers is worth reading. Aestus has been the best fiction book I’ve read this year, and I’d strongly recommend it to anyone, even those not fans of the genre.” If you’ve been kind enough to read our lovingly crafted review, you should continue one small step further and search for your own copy. If we haven’t persuaded you yet, keep an eye open for more news. As an idea, keep following until we discover the next epic science fiction author of the generation. Like you, we know that we’re getting close!
