On this day our choice of outstanding sci-fi is J. Darris Mitchell’s “Fireflies and Cosmos” (https://t.co/h5HNLZjij3). Fireflies is a truly amazing work of fiction, so if we’re going to get through all amazing works in all the niches of the fantastic, we’re sure this one belongs on our lists. For certain, we reveal a story we must admit to be surely legendary in narrative. If your taste in books is as good as ours, your attention is needed. Please, at least appreciate how readers took it. According to 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!” Well, now we’re done you ought to go one small step further and get a copy of the book yourself. Otherwise, keep following until we discover the next Asimov or Clarke. We all can only hope it’ll happen eventually.
