The Rosie Project: A Novel

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion is Number 2 on our list of the best Science Fiction Kindle books and is book written by a favorite bestselling international writer.

Life After War

At number 4 is “Life after War: Books 1-3” by Angela White is a bargain as you get 3 books for the price of one. Some of you may remember, back in the 70’s the many post apocalypse adventure series like the “Out of Ashes” series by Writers like William W.

At 820 pages it is a long read but worth the time and effort.

Ender’s Game: 1 (The Ender Quintet)

It was later expanded into a full-length novel and now a major motion picture and the first book in a 5 book series.

Reaching to number 9 so far is “The Atlantis Plague” by A.G. Riddle the second novel in the Alatis series. The Great Pandemic is spreading 1 billion are dead. Some are evolving into Atlanteans while other are devolving into bestial creatures that have become the new predators.

Kate Warner from The first novel is back and she races against time as humanity faces extinction and the Immari wait to let the superior Alantean breed take over while the rest of the world dies. Kate must travel the world and discover a cure and in the process, she discovers that evolution and history we know is wrong and the truth is far stranger than she could ever imagine. This book is more complicated than the first and takes a bit of thinking to wrap your brain around. But, it is a thrilling adventure from start to finish.

Mind’s Eye

Richards and starts with a man awakening in a dumpster and is receiving telepathic messages, which starts a whirlwind thriller that delves into the power of the human mind and the vast potential for good and evil that lies therein. This is a book you will skip meals and give up sleep for.

An Honorable mention at Number 13 “Ark Royal” by Christopher G. Nuttall. I include this one as I am a sucker for the Space Aircraft carrier and related stories. Something about Rule Britannia in space that I enjoy whether it be the Seaford saga or the Helmsman series. Take:
• One obsolete Space carrier
• A drunken captain and
• The dregs of the space service
• An invincible Enemy
