About this deal

Perhaps. But they actually have not even left the solar system, and won’t be leaving anytime soon. They are in what is considered interstellar space, but the boundary of our solar system is beyond the outer edge of the Oort Cloud, a collection of small objects that are still under the influence of the sun’s gravity.

Imperious attempted to bite off the knight’s hand. When that failed, he snatched the leather cylinder away from him. Artifact Lambda can be found by completing Entangled at Nishina Research Station on the planet Freya III.

And Artifact Space is nothing if not a naval novel in space—unless we want to get more specific and call it a Merchant Marines novel in space. It stars Marca Nbaro, barely escaped from an exploitative orphanage onto the Greatship Athens , an enormous ship that serves to facilitate trade between the human sphere and a distant and poorly understood alien culture. But something is destroying Greatships, and if the crew of the Athens can’t figure out how to stop it, they may be next. Become as strong as stone, rooting yourself in place and increasing your resistance to all damages greatly. This is a new all-time favorite! A wonderfully upbeat military space opera in the tradition of Horatio Hornblower and Honor Harrington, but updated and perfect for modern readers. It's as if someone had looked at my list of favorite things and thought "okay, how about I put ALL of them in a single novel"?

He sees only a fat man in a leather greatcoat slouched wearily upon a mule, Estevar thought, someone too slow to present a genuine threat. Someone he can bully as he pleases.Enter the world of Marca Nbara as she flees the Orphanage to become a junior officer aboard the massive, hundreds of years old, Greatship, Athens. She may have just combined all the dangers of her former life, with all the perils of the new . . .” Cease, you avaricious beast,’ Estevar growled, yanking the crushed tube from between the mule’s teeth. ‘Save your appetite for the abbey, where we shall shortly be feasted as befits visiting dignitaries.’ There is data on the orbit of this object for which there is no other explanation” than that it is the product of intelligent others,” he has said. “The approach I take to the subject is purely scientific and evidence-based.” Finished Artifact Space, and it can be said that Miles Cameron does not just write fantasy well, or just historical fiction, or sci-fi, but can write all three with equal aplomb. From the beginning Christian/Miles Cameron brings his distinctive style to the table, yet slightly moulds it to fit well with his setting and characters.

Arcana Imperii Series by Miles Cameron - Goodreads

Another Long War novel? Unexpected and very welcome. I now have to debate whether or not to change criteria for selecting "best read of the year, 2022". Long War was a shoe-in for that. But, I intended to award that honor to a series only if it is complete. Oh well, rules are made to be broken, as they say. Age of Bronze is another series I'm quite taken with. Fun times ahead, reading-wise at any rate.Adrienne Martini has been reading or writing about science fiction for decades and has had two non-fiction, non-genre books published by Simon and Schuster. She lives in Upstate New York with one husband, two kids, and one corgi. She also runs a lot. Tyrant’s Throne Falcio has one chance to restore the rule of law in Tristia, but will can pay the price?

The departing spacecraft is Voyager 2, which launched in 1977 and has traveled spaceward some 11 billion miles. It has now officially left the heliosphere, the protective bubble of particles and magnetic fields created by the sun. In this it follows Voyager I – which left our solar system in 2012 — and managers of the two craft have reason to think they can travel until they cross the half-century mark. Anyway, the story line skips and jitters about but is easy to follow. Just be prepared for abrupt changes in dialogue or sudden scene shifting. Marca struggles to control her angry and suspicion of everyone, but we slowly see a confident and skilled woman appear. With their vast cargo holds and a crew that could fill a city, the Greatships are the lifeblood of human occupied space, transporting an unimaginable volume - and value - of goods from City, the greatest human orbital, all the way to Tradepoint at the other, to trade for xenoglas with an unknowable alien species.

No known asteroid or comet from our solar system varies so widely in brightness, with such a large ratio between length and width. The most elongated objects we have seen to date are no more than three times longer than they are wide. Just... all my favorite things. I realize that this is not going to be everybody's cup of tea - it falls squarely into the sub-genre of military SF (they are not a true military though, but an armed merchant fleet), so expect to learn exactly how everything works (you can skip the explanations and jargon if that's not your thing, but I loved it). Another aspect that may not be for everyone: the book focuses on a group of really good, admirable people who are excellent at their jobs (although everyone still messes up and makes mistakes: they're not Mary Sues). This kind of environment is wonderfully healing for Marca Nbaro - who's grown up in orphanage hell with a very different sort of people - and I loved all the genuine friendship and loving, optimistic atmosphere. But if you're the kind of person who usually hates that and who prefers dark, villainous protagonists: this is not going to be the book for you!
