Today’s choice of outstanding sci-fi is S. A. Asthana’s “The Final Wars Begin” (https://t.co/ldasEYCrSE). Final Wars is the best choice we can think of at the moment, an amazing title, and if we’re going to pay tribute to outstanding titles in all the realms of speculative fiction, we are convinced this title earned its place on top of our list for today. With a brief read, we discover a plot we conclude is exceedingly ingenious in its literary virtues. If your taste in books is as good as ours, you need to appreciate how readers react. In the words of one reader, “This one was special. How about this for a setup? In a post-post apocalyptic world, a French orphan from a dank ghetto has grown into an elite military warrior. He stands up against his military society to sacrifice his career and cast off his comforts, then becomes an outlaw and fugitive. He means well, but doing the right thing doesn’t work out the way he hoped. Not that all hope is gone…” If you are persuaded, you might as well continue one small step further and search for a copy of the book yourself. If not, keep following until we discover the next big science fiction author of our time. Like you, we are waiting. And we know it will happen soon.
