RELATED: The Best Sci-Fi Games Of All Time So, it's no surprise that sci-fi horror is a pretty common genre. If you're not dealing with aliens, you're navigating through vast emptiness, isolation from society, and being cramped in spaceships - creating the perfect recipe for a nightmare. Waugh, and Martin H.Let's face it, space is terrifying. ![]() John ONeill on Vintage Detectives: Supernatural Sleuths, Sci-Fi Private Eye, and Isaac Asimov’s Detectives, edited by Gardner Dozois, Sheila Williams, Charles G.John MacMaster on 5 More Things I Think I Think: March, 2023.Todd Mason on Vintage Detectives: Supernatural Sleuths, Sci-Fi Private Eye, and Isaac Asimov’s Detectives, edited by Gardner Dozois, Sheila Williams, Charles G.Tarryn on Flood of AI-Written Fiction Shuts Down Clarkesworld Submissions.Healy – December, 1952 (1951) – Literary Art and Illustration on Vintage Treasures: New Tales of Space and Time, edited by Raymond J.

If you’ve read and enjoyed this series, do me a favor and write an online review. ![]() The third, Gravity of a Distant Sun, will not have a hardcover release it arrives in trade paperback on February 18. Barbary Station had a healthy 32 reviews when it was released in 2017 Mutiny at Vesta had only two, a disaster in publishing terms. Unfortunately, if Amazon reviews are anything to go by, it doesn’t seem to have found an audience. The Shieldrunner Pirates trilogy is the kind adventurous space opera I really enjoy. If Barbary Station was a variant on the gothic novel in space (complete with a haunted house in the form of a space station), Mutiny at Vesta is a nested, layered series of capers in which Adda and Iridian work with limited resources and the pressure of time and other people’s competing priorities to pull off the damn-near impossible… Stearns writes measured, tense, and intense space opera, filled with a diverse selection of believable characters. Mutiny at Vesta arrived in 2018, and in her Tor.com review, Liz Bourke wrote: Kirkus called it “Super cool… It mixes unpredictable mysteries, a murderous AI, space battles, an awesome and fashionable Pirate Leader… a blend of Die Hard and The Illuminae Files.” We covered it enthusiastically in 2017. Stearns’s science fiction debut Barbary Station, the opening novel in the Shieldrunner Pirates trilogy, featured two engineers who hijack a spaceship to join a band of space pirates, only to discover the pirates are hiding from a malevolent AI.
