Monday, September 21
6:00pm - 7:00pm

Step into the unknown — join our speculative fiction book club for bold ideas, wild worlds, and unforgettable journeys! This month's title is "Rabbits" by Terry Miles.

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.

"Rabbits" by Terry Miles

"A fast-paced SF conspiracy thriller set in the world of the popular podcast of the same name. "What do you know about the game?" It's an underground, alternate-reality game with an unlimited number of players and a rumored "Circle" of anonymous winners. The game has seen ten iterations since 1959, with an 11th about to go live. But something is wrong." - NoveList Plus.
