M'rella I don't remember Chronicles of Ylandre being sci-fi. It was a high fantasy with a bit of modern plumbing. I might be mistaken.


message 2: by Ezi (new)

Ezi Chinny Does Dark Space by Lisa Henry count?

There wasn't any magic in it or paranormal activity, was it? Telepathy and some other mental abilities is part of sci-fi :(


message 4: by SheReadsALot (new)

SheReadsALot I haven't read it (yet) but I'm pretty sure Barren fits. Magic users in a post apocalyptic setting

Thank you for the addition! :D


message 6: by SheReadsALot (last edited Oct 13, 2015 08:55PM) (new)

SheReadsALot No problem. :D

I found 2 more books - they were anthologies 1 or more stories from each fit that you're looking for. Dominant Tendencies, Tall, Dark, and Wriggly

ETA: Your thoughts on this one? From the Ashes

LOL just checked out your tags!

Yes, all three look great! :D


message 8: by M'rella (new)

M'rella PS Can you confirm Chronicles of Ylandre for me? I thought it was just a high fantasy. Don't remember any spaceships or advanced technology.

I haven't read it but from reviews there was modern plumbing, teleportation and devoid any females in a fantasy/mystical setting.


message 10: by M'rella (new)

M'rella I know all about that plumbing. There was a lot of it *snorts* described in painstaking details. The whole chapter that you can consider a plumbing manual.
I had to DNF at 40%, so - not sure about the rest :(

I thought the explanation that the planet had been colonized and the single sex was due to a bit of judicious interbreeding with the natives pulled in the sci-fi element for me. They've lost the advanced tech since.


message 12: by Alishea (last edited Oct 13, 2015 11:04PM) (new)

Alishea I question Strange Charm. I don't recall any fantasy elements.

For Inherent Gifts, the "gifts" are due to genetic mutations rather than paranormal sources. (Like Dark Space)


message 13: by Pamela Su (last edited Oct 14, 2015 12:17AM) (new)

Pamela Su The Ylandre series is pure fantasy to me. It wouldn't count as sci-fi.

Edit: There's not enough hints of "sci-fi" to justify it being sci fi. Despite the throwaway explanation of genetic breeding in the beginning... There's just not enough sci-fi presence.


message 14: by Pamela Su (new)

Pamela Su This is so hard to vote for. :/ It's not easy to identify the crossovers.


message 15: by Tamara (new)

Tamara Claimings, Tails, and Other Alien Artifacts has no fantasy elements as far as I remember :/


message 16: by Karen (new)

Karen I think L.A. Witt's books:
A Chip in His Shoulder (Falling Sky, #1) by L.A. Witt and Something New Under the Sun (Falling Sky, #2) by L.A. Witt
both qualify they've got cybernetically modified vampires in a futuristic setting.


message 17: by M'rella (new)

M'rella Whoever cleaned up the list - THANK YOU SO MUCH!

*passes cookies along*

Leni ..Sandman does not appear to be an M/M book.
