Sailing to the Stars – from ice to ashes (Rhett C. Bruno)

Ahoy there me mateys!  I discovered this novel when the author asked me if I was interested in readin' this one in exchange for me honest musings.  The premise sounded fascinating and so I said yes.  Those of me crew that have been reading me log these last several days have seen that I had …

Sailing to the Stars – six wakes (Mur Lafferty)

Ahoy there me mateys!  So me crew has been recommending this one.  It is a sci-fi with murder mystery and philosophical bents.  Six crew members run a generation ship that is supposed to take a 400 year journey to a new planet.  All six of them have criminal backgrounds and if they run this mission …

Sailing to the Stars – star’s end (Cassandra Rose Clarke)

Ahoy there me mateys!  I have previously enjoyed this author's writing (it involved pirates!  Arrr!) so when I saw she had a sci-fi novel out, I snagged it.  Unfortunately while I still love her writing style and ideas, the novel was not a complete success. I went into the story mostly blind.  All I knew …

Sailing to the Stars – belt three (John Ayliff)

Ahoy there mateys!  This novel is a sci-fi standalone that I saw recommended somewhere long ago.  It features a space pirate (Arrrrr!) so I picked up a copy recently as it fit me mood. I found this to be a highly enjoyable read. It is set in a time frame where Earth and other planets …

Sailing to the Stars – the exile waiting (Vonda N. McIntyre)

Ahoy there mateys!  I was first introduced to this author when I read her Nebula award-winning novel, the moon and the sun.  That one is set in the court of Louis XIV and deals with sea monsters.  Awesome.  Read long ago, that novel always made me want to read her other works. This novel was …

Sailing to the Stars – planetfall (Emma Newman)

Ahoy there mateys!  Me last review was of this author's novel brother's ruin which was extremely enjoyable but an oh so very very different fantasy read.  I loved that one immensely which made me immediately pick up this recently purchased novel.  I am extremely glad I did. This sci-fi novel is the story of a …

Sailing to the Stars – empress of a thousand skies (Rhoda Belleza)

Ahoy there me mateys!  While this book was partly enjoyable, I am not sure that I would read the next in the series.  For starters, the blurb basically misleads the reader . . . The story is supposed to be about a girl named Rhee who is the last survivor of her imperial bloodline.  She …

Sailing to the Stars – starflight (Melissa Landers)

Ahoy there me mateys! starflight (Melissa Landers) This was a fun little space romp with romance.  I loved the main character of Solara.  The love interest, Doran, was the perfect jerk guy who comes around to be not so bad.  The eccentric crew is fun.  The ship’s mascot rocks.  The plot did not lead me …

Sailing to the Stars – illuminae (Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff)

Ahoy there me mateys! illuminae (Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff) I couldn’t sleep so I starting reading this in my bunk at 8 Bells (4:00 a.m. for you landlubbers) until I felt tired enough to go back and catch a little bit more shut eye until I had to be on deck. So this novel …

Sailing to the Stars – inherit the stars (Tessa Elwood)

Ahoy there mateys! inherit the stars (Tessa Elwood) This is a debut novel which is currently planned as a duology. It was a random pick of mine based on the title and the fact that it has been a while since I have read a space related book, so I thought it was time for …
