Snow on Mars, by Pablo Tébar

book-snow-on-mars

Since Malthus and his theory of overpopulation, with the consequent scarcity of resources, the colonization of new planets is always a horizon that, for now, has only been addressed by Science Fiction.

Twenty, by Manel Loureiro

book-twenty

In the morbid taste for fear and terror as entertainment, stories about catastrophes or apocalypse appear with a special omen point about an end that seems achievable at all times, either tomorrow at the hands of an insane leader, within a century with the ...

The Island, by Asa Avdic

book-the-island-asa-avdic

I like that kind of fantasy or science fiction story that puts the characters in extreme situations. If a futuristic environment surrounds everything, even better, dystopia is served. Anna Francis is the bait of this plot. She was supposed to participate in tryouts to ...

Everything that is science fiction mixed with a good plot in a thriller style, has won me over before starting. As a sample serve this recent reading. If the story also focuses on recognizable environments, honey on flakes. Spain in 2065 is largely a kind of wasteland ...

The Gate of Darkness, by Glenn Cooper

book-the-door-of-darkness

The supposed setting from which this novel started, commercially presented as "a world populated by the most abject characters in history" caught my attention. Because when it comes to writing about abject characters, one already has their experience. What the book The Door of Darkness does is ...

Among the noise of our routine, between the frenetic pace of life, alienation and the creators of opinion who think about us, it is always good to find books such as The Possibility of an Island, a work that, although part of an absolutely Science Fiction environment , opens our minds ...

Fire by Joe Hill

book-fire-joe-hill

I think I looked at this book with the notion of finding some plot in the style Stephen King. But the shots are not there, nothing to see. The proposal of the book Fire by Joe Hill has a meeting point with the novel I am a legend by Richard Matheson. A scientific plot ...
