Proxima by Stephen Baxter ($7.20)
Mankind’s future in this galaxy could be all but infinite.
There are hundreds of billions of red dwarf stars, lasting trillions of years—and their planets can be habitable for humans. Such is the world of Proxima Centauri. And its promise could mean the never-ending existence of humanity.
But first it must be colonized, and no one wants to be a settler. There is no glamor that accompanies it, nor is there the ease of becoming a citizen of an already-tamed world. There is only hardship…loneliness…emptiness, even as war brews in the solar system.
But that’s where Yuri comes in. Because sometimes exploration isn’t voluntary. It must be coerced.
Since my daughter is obsessed with outer space right now, this looks like a book we could read together. I also have a soft spot for the unlikely hero.
The Fold: A Novel by Peter Clines ($10.18)
The folks in Mike Erikson’s small New England town would say he’s just your average, everyday guy. And that’s exactly how Mike likes it. Sure, the life he’s chosen isn’t much of a challenge to someone with his unique gifts, but he’s content with his quiet and peaceful existence.
That is, until an old friend presents him with an irresistible mystery, one that Mike is uniquely qualified to solve: far out in the California desert, a team of DARPA scientists has invented a device they affectionately call the Albuquerque Door. Using a cryptic computer equation and magnetic fields to “fold” dimensions, it shrinks distances so that a traveler can travel hundreds of feet with a single step.
The invention promises to make mankind’s dreams of teleportation a reality. And, the scientists insist, traveling through the Door is completely safe.
Yet evidence is mounting that this miraculous machine isn’t quite what it seems—and that its creators are harboring a dangerous secret.
As his investigations draw him deeper into the puzzle, Mike begins to fear there’s only one answer that makes sense. And if he’s right, it may only be a matter of time before the project destroys…everything.
A cunningly inventive mystery featuring a hero worthy of Sherlock Holmes and a terrifying final twist you’ll never see coming, The Fold is that rarest of things: a genuinely page-turning science-fiction thriller. Step inside its pages and learn why author Peter Clines has already won legions of loyal fans.
It’s like Doctor Who and Sherlock met and wrote a book together… it’s going to be amazing. Also, I really have a thing for the New England setting. I don’t think I have been more excited for a book in this subscription box before, I’m going to need a long weekend or seriously late nights in order to finish this one in record time.
Prior to BookCase.Club, I was a dabbler in the Sci-Fi world but now I am a full blown fanatic. I love that these books are generally clean and all the authors so far have been new to me. With such a great subscription, it’s impossible to get stagnant on one author. I also like that this particular genre can be shared with both my daughter and husband for a few more conversation points around the dinner table.
