Why did Gary love this book?
I find stimulation, knowledge and entertainment in a wide range of reading material, from crime fiction to true crime, horror and westerns and science fiction.
This tale of a space ship named Providence and its four-member crew battling a new alien species ranks among my science fiction favorites, alongside Justin Cronin’s Passage trilogy and the Wool books now being serialized on Apple TV as Silo. Published in 2020 by veteran SciFi author Max Barry, it recounts a future voyage into deep space to scout the new species after first contact 17 years before.
Besides non-stop action and in-depth character development for each member of the crew, Barry also provides a greedy corporate villain with a secret agenda using an AI to actually control the ship.
Following characters as they face survival challenges and solve problems offers the kind of inspirational reading experience that lingers long after I finish a book.…
