Goldilocks

Despite increasing restrictions on the freedoms of women on Earth, Valerie Black is spearheading the first all-female mission to a planet in the Goldilocks Zone, where conditions are just right for human habitation. It’s humanity’s last hope for survival, and Naomi, Valerie’s surrogate daughter and the ship’s botanist, has been waiting her whole life for an opportunity like this – to step out of Valerie’s shadow and really make a difference. But when things start going wrong on the ship, Naomi starts to suspect that someone on board is concealing a terrible secret – and realises time for life on Earth may be running out faster than they feared . . .

As a piece of near future speculative fiction, this story absolutely knocks it out of the park, but I was not fully expecting the story to pick up on some of the personal tragedies that my immediately family have suffered through, so there were times that it was a real struggle to get through. The lack of diversity in the characters was an odd choice, but as I said, the story was done well enough that those rough edges were easily ignored.

Out Today: “Star Trek: Lower Decks – Warp Your Own Way”

Out today: “Star Trek: Lower Decks – Warp Your Own Way“, by Ryan North.

Mariner just wants to have a normal day, but no matter what side of the bed she wakes up on, the world is ending. Literally. If she has coffee, Borg attack! If she has raktajino, cue the Romulan boarding party! And in each scenario, Mariner and her friends end up dead, sometimes the ship is destroyed—and the day starts all over again.

But by exploring the different paths, you, the reader, can discover things that Mariner can’t. There are inconsistencies that don’t make sense—putting aside the fact that Mariner’s choice of drink each morning shouldn’t affect which alien races attack the ship, other facts of her world seem to change too. Something is definitely off. It’s up to you to discover!
