Sci Fi Spot

Anyone read the Department of Temporal Investigations (Star Trek) series? Well done? Worth checking out?#startrek #scifi

So in a lot of space military sci-fi, whenever there's an invading force of some kind, they often advance slowly into "human space", starting at the edges/borders and moving inward. Does this actually make sense in a universe with things like slippage and hyperspace travel?

Just finished Mercy of Gods. It's the first book of a trilogy about a science research group who are amongst a group of humains who are abducted by powerful aliens. It was written by the author of The Expanse. How are they going to survive and eventually fight back against the omnipotent aliens? What are your thoughts for those of you who finished the book?

What features would you put on a small covert strike ship designed for up to 12 special forces soldiers to carry out covert missions quickly?

I just heard about this and it seems really good and right up my alley. Anyone else planning to read it when it comes out next month? It is around 900 pages though.

Anyone read this? Thoughts on it? Personally I LOVED it.

Zombie apocalypse is happening. You're a survivor. Motorized vehicles wont work for long. Roads will very likely be horribly jammed. Where do you go? What tools, equipment, supplies do you bring with you?

Thoughts on the upcoming addition to the Hunger Games series: Sunrise on the Reaping?

Does anyone have any really good reading ambience videos or playlists? Please share!! I am currently reading Ready Player One and I’m struggling to find the appropriate ambience/playlist that isn’t distracting

Is there any Romance in the book Vita Nostra? (I haven’t read it yet)Please don’t judge me for asking I know how it sounds

I just finished this one. The art is, of course, exceptional. (As you would expect from a Stan Lee project and Marvel artists.) The story seems to be building toward something pretty awesome. Unfortunately, it's a 1st volume. So there isn't much fleshed out detail. It's apparently Stan Lee's final project. So I have no idea if it will be continued. For any Marvel fans, something happens near the end that all of you should appreciate. I WOULD recommend, if I knew it was continuing.

Has anyone read this book yet? I know it’s based off a podcast. Everyone says it’s for fans of Blake Crouch and Ready Player One, also getting some Matrix vibes (characters noticing that a building that has two windows now has three). Any thoughts, because reviews on Goodreads sound promising!

Not A Huge Fan Of Sci-Fi and decided to try out Red Rising by Pierce Brown because a lot of people said it was really good. I’m about an hour in and having a hard time. It’s one of those books where you walk into the world and have to “pretend” to know everything about it and as you gradually make progress, you learn more. It’s slow paced and hard to read. Any suggestions on if it’s worth reading? Or if it gets better?

Is it worth it to finish this series? Sometime earlier this year I started this series and read the first book. I liked it pretty well but never read the rest of the series. Is it good enough to finish?

So I'm a few chapters into this. So far, I have mixed feelings about it. The worldbuilding So far is pretty interesting. The m.c. is solid from the little that I've gotten. The problems I'm seeing are - 1: Lots of name dropping. Lots of characters who, so far, don't seem to have much to do with the story, all in a very short period of time. Apart from the m.c., I'm having a really hard time discerning who's who. 2: The narrative style is very odd. It bounces around a lot, seemingly at random...

Has anyone else read this book because I loved it but can’t find anyone else you has read it

I was thinking about super aggressive races in sci-fi. Could an aggressive, conflict-based culture ever advance technologically? I'm thinking of the Klingons from Star Trek, the Krogan from Mass Effect, etc... Would such a species have the ability to build an interstellar empire?

I think you would be a great addition to this group. https://likewise.com/groupinvites/new_readers_A5OiICxtTM/byuser/winnie_pinninni
