A welcoming place where readers share their love of speculative fiction through a lively conversation about a pre-read title. The book for March's discussion is "Salvation Day" by Kali Wallace.
This is a group for speculative fiction fans (science fiction/fantasy) who would 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.
The book for March's discussion is "Salvation Day" by Kali Wallace.
"They thought the ship would be their salvation.
Zahra knew every detail of the plan. House of Wisdom, a massive exploration vessel, had been abandoned by the government of Earth a decade earlier, when a deadly virus broke out and killed everyone on board in a matter of hours. But now it could belong to her people if they were bold enough to take it. All they needed to do was kidnap Jaswinder Bhattacharya—the sole survivor of the tragedy, and the last person whose genetic signature would allow entry to the spaceship.
But what Zahra and her crew could not know was what waited for them on the ship—a terrifying secret buried by the government. A threat to all of humanity that lay sleeping alongside the orbiting dead.
And then they woke it up."
