Step into the unknown—join our speculative fiction book club for bold ideas, wild worlds, and unforgettable journeys! This month's title is "In the Lives of Puppets" by TJ Klune.

This is a group for speculative fiction fans (science fiction/fantasy) who like to read and discuss genre literature. Each month we'll have a discussion about a book, either a new release or an older book (but ideally something that most people haven't read yet), that we've read before meeting.

"In the Lives of Puppets" by TJ Klune

"When an unwitting act of betrayal leads to the capture of his android Gio, who once hunted humans, Victor Lawson and his assembled family must journey across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to the City of Electric Dreams to rescue Gio from decommission, or worse, reprogramming." - NoveList Plus.
