A welcoming place where readers share their love of speculative fiction through a lively conversation about a pre-read title. Register online, in person, or by phone at 330.836.1081.

This is a group for speculative fiction fans (science fiction/fantasy) who want to read and discuss genre literature. Each month we'll discuss 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.

The book for November is "The Cruel Stars (The Cruel Stars #1)" by John Birmingham

"In this epic sci-fi adventure for fans of The Expanse and Battlestar Galactica, five intrepid heroes must unite to save civilization after a long-dormant enemy awakens and strikes a devastating blow.

This jarring, engrossing story of a species-wide fight for survival is recommended for all science fiction readers."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
