I finished Stellar Instinct by @jnevair.bsky.social last night. If you're looking for a popcorn flick of a space romp, Stellar Instinct has you covered! Very light, very action-focused--bathos cancels out the tension. Strong family feel to it. 💙📚 #sciencefiction #scifi

Book cover of Stellar Instinct by Jonathan Nevair. A Spy-Fi Space Adventure. A realistic illustration shows a woman positioned diagonally across the cover wearing an action-y outfit. She has long brown hair and is holding a laser gun in each hand. Behind her, one half of the background is blue with several spaceships zooming past. The other half is yellow, with a futuristic city skyline of tall buildings and a large planet or moon.

Above: a black and orange book cover for "No Land for Heroes by Cal Black" with the title framed by an orange dragon and tomahawk style axe. On the black part is a steam locomotive approaching the viewer. Next to the cover is a blurb:"When she robs the wrong man, Deputy Mildred Berry must decide how much of her violent past she can face, if she can face it at all."
