My original summer reading list was done as a cover gallery. Let’s see what it looks like reimagined as thumbnails accompanied by the book’s title, author, and brief description.
Aurora
Kim Stanley Robinson
Aurora is Kim Stanley Robinson’s novel about the crew of a generational starship finally arriving at their destination … and dealing with what they find there. It’s the first Robinson book I read since I finished his Mars trilogy about a decade ago.
The Courts of Chaos
Roger Zelazny
The Courts of Chaos is the final book in Roger Zelazny’s first Chronicles of Amber series. The series involves the scheming of the royal family of Amber — the one true city in the one true world, of which the rest of the universe (including Earth) is but a shadow.
Seveneves
Neal Stephenson
The book opens with the destruction of the moon by an unknown “Agent”, and humanity’s desperate attempt to escape the impending lunar apocalypse. The action then skips to the future, where humanity’s survivors — now scattered through interstellar space — decide to return to their ancient and ruined home.
