Hard SF discussion

Hello avid science fiction and fantasy readers. My name is Bradley Nordell and I’m both a reader and author. I just published my first book called “The Second Sky: And Other Stories.” For those of you who enjoy both hard-sci-fi, far future, and stories that take you to other worlds, realities (even a black hole), Twilight Zone or Black Mirror, will enjoy this book. If you like Bradbury’s Martian Chronicles, Stories of your life & Others by Ted Chiang, and I, Robot by Asimov, then The Second Sky might be your new favorite book.

Here’s the synopsis of the book:

From stories about teleportation and an apocalypse on Mars to Twilight Zone-esque stories about parallel realms, dreamlike technological perceptions, and new worlds, The Second Sky and Other Stories is a far-future work that explores the depth of human nature, love, grief, existential threats, and a visionary look at the earth, the solar systems, and humankind’s pursuit for survival.

In “The Reaper Men,” a man walks the highways of the dead to bring the data that could just save a pandemic-stricken world.

In “Somewhere in a Dark Star,” the crew of the Osiris starship must figure out a way to escape a black hole.

In “The Last Days of a Martian Flower,” a brother and sister try to tell the inhabitants of Mars that a planet is dying, despite the reluctance and conspiracy to keep them there.

In “Second Sky,” mother and husband try to figure out what to do as an alien space shift arrives on the earth. Through their grief over losing their daughter, they are face-to-face once more with the second sky of truth.

Across many genres, stories, and points of view, Nordell takes us through the far future from horror to hard science fiction in these twenty-one stories, exploring the reality beyond the one we experience every day. Here we see the horizon of the other place, the future beyond landscapes familiar to us, and the place beyond the realm of known and into the second sky.

You can find The Second Sky on Amazon and B&N

Hello fellow author! Great job on your first book. Hey I noticed your synopsis says 'alien space shift' that's probably 'ship' right? Looks like it's that way on Amazon too.

Very cool. I might be up for it. Would you consider possibly a review swap?
