The Metro video game series was a huge success. Is it worth reading Dmitry Glukhovsky's novel that inspired it all?

The Martian by Andy Weir is one of the most fun, un-put-downable sci-fi adventure stories out there. Plus, it's really in a league of it's own, poop-taters wise.

Arkady and Boris Strugatsky's sci-fi masterpiece is driven by one man - Red Schuhart, one of the greatest characters ever written into science fiction. He's a stalker, one of the few people with enough grit and wits to survive trips into the Zone, the eerie region left behind after aliens visited Earth.

Peter Watts is the award winning author of Blindsight; Echopraxia; Starfish, and many more - but we focused the conversation on our favorite of his books - Blindsight!

Spin by Robert Charles Wilson has a wonderfully big, bad sci-fi problem to overcome, powerful, inscrutable aliens, and a wonderful human story to tie it all together!
