I wouldn\u2019t say science fiction novels are on-trend now: humanity is accustomed to impressive breakthroughs in technology; the way SpaceX’s toilet works entertains mere mortals much more than the way SpaceX’ flies.<\/p>\n
However, this old good genre keeps alive.<\/p>\n
Today I want to tell you about relatively new sci-fi books – The Second Species Trilogy by Jane O’Reilly.<\/p>\n
O’Reilly started writing as an adult – her youngest child was eleven months old by that time.<\/p>\n
Before the young woman decided to try her hands in SF literature, she had been writing contemporary and erotic romances.<\/p>\n
Here are a few names of her books – Dirty Talk, Guilty Pleasure, Indecent Proposal. They have good ratings on Amazon, 4 or 5 stars.<\/p>\n
The action of the first book, Blue Shift<\/em>, takes place in 2187. Earth is cold and almost dead.<\/p>\n The whole planet is going to completely freeze; people are looking for a place to settle.<\/p>\n Jinnifer Blue is a pilot. Jin’s body has been modified so that she could connect to her ship.<\/p>\n The girl’s mother works for the government which refuses to take responsibility for all people on Earth and helps only the rich.\u00a0 She tends to behave like a tyrant and Jinnifer doesn’t get along with her…<\/p>\n As you see, the background conflict is complicated enough: social problems intertwine with personal ones. There will be many other interesting conflicts throughout the course of the following novels, Deep Blue<\/em> And Blue Planet<\/em>, as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n The trilogy is heavy on romance. The relationships between Jin and a space pirate, Dax, seem to be believable: the author has experience of writing about feelings.<\/p>\n However, some scenes of sex in these books are strange – for example, having sex with a pleasure droid. Another thing I didn’t like is that the author repeatedly uses the motif of rape to attract her readers’ attention.<\/p>\n Despite the certain little imperfections, the series is definitely worth reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I wouldn\u2019t say science fiction novels are on-trend now: humanity is accustomed to impressive breakthroughs in technology; the way SpaceX’s toilet works entertains mere mortals much more than the way…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
