Best science fiction books of 2020
2020 was quite a year, and many of us escaped from it all from time to time by burying our heads in a book. Here is a selection of the best science fiction books of 2020 as chosen by the shipmates aboard starship J.J, Green. – excluding my own books! Some are old classics, some are new releases. I hope you find something here you like or something to recommend to a friend.
New space fantasy series success!
What a brilliant start to the year it’s been aboard the starship. The Valiant, book one in my new space fantasy series, Star Legend, made number one new release in the Metaphysical Fiction, Metaphysical Science Fiction, and Space Fleet Science Fiction categories on Amazon! And it’s all down to the shipmates. If you downloaded a copy, thank you so much. If you haven’t met this series yet, you can read a snippet here.
New release: The Valiant!
What am I blathering on about? The Valiant, book one in Star Legend, has gone live! This series is an exciting blend of space opera, military science fiction, and fantasy. If you like Star Wars, Dune or TV series like Firefly, I think you’ll love it.
Your exclusive shipmates’ Christmas gift
I hope you’re enjoying this seasonal time of year. As a special thank you for being a loyal shipmate, you can download an exclusive Carrie Hatchett Christmas free collection below. Please note, this includes a NEW novella at the end of the book, though the collection cover is the same as previous years’.
Carrie Hatchett Christmas story
It’s nearly Christmas, which means it’s time for Carrie Hatchett to have another adventure. If you haven’t met Carrie yet, she’s like a female Doctor Who with fewer brains and one, very big, heart.
Saturday Snippet: Star Legend, The Valiant Part Three
It’s Saturday! Which means it’s time for another Saturday Snippet. This week, it’s the third installement of The Valiant, the first book of my latest space fantasy series Star Legend.
Reader competition winners
Woohoo! It's fun giving out prizes. This time, the winners of last week's humorous sci fi competition (picked from a hat) are Linda Liem, Royalblue Scot (great name) and Andy Bunn. Please send in your postal addresses to receive your signed copy of Mission...
Saturday Snippet: Star Legend, The Valiant Part 2
The Valiant goes live in less than two weeks! This is the first book in my new space fantasy, Star Legend, which melds space opera with British mythology. For a taste of what’s to come, read this week’s snippet and meet one of the main characters, Taylan Ellis. Taylan joined up as a new recruit to the Royal Marines to try to win back her homeland, the Britannic Isles.
Signed paperback giveaway
Much as I would love to send each and every shipmate a pressie all of their own, unfortunately, your captain hasn’t achieved the status or funds of Stephen King – yet 🙂 . Instead, I’d like to offer you the opportunity to win a signed paperback of book one in my Carrie Hatchett, Space Adventurer series, Mission Improbable. I have three to send anywhere in the world (see the pic at the bottom of the bulletin).
Saturday Snippet: The Valiant Part 1
My new space fantasy series, Star Legend, begins just after Christmas 2020 with book one, The Valiant. It’s a mashup of British mythology and space opera, which I hope you’ll love. I’ll be publishing snippets every Saturday until the book goes live.
Out of this world science fiction
Now that the weeks are counting down to The Valiant’s release, I’ll be publishing snippets from the book every Saturday on my website, and I’ll put a link in the bulletins too.
News on the ship’s cat & sci fi offers
