Speculative Fiction Worth Reading: The Paleontologist #BookReview #suspense #thriller #booklovers #bookrecommendations

Book Review, Science Fiction Books, Speculative Fiction / M Pax / October 29, 2024

The Paleontologist by Luke Dumas called to me like a siren… Dinosaurs. Can… not… re… sist.

The novel boasts a fun and engaging plot with dinosaurs running amok in a museum—yes, you read that right. This is just one of the intriguing mysteries in this fast-paced story. The other revolves around Simon, whose sister mysteriously disappeared inside the same museum when they were children. Simon has never gotten over her disappearance and feels a compelling urge to find her, eventually taking a job at the museum that holds so much tragedy for him.

The novel kept me guessing, especially regarding the nature of the dinosaurs, which is a significant part of the mystery. And I’m perfectly fine with mystery and weirdness, both of which are abundant in this story.

If you enjoy suspense, monsters, mysteries, and paleontology, this book is for you. I had a blast reading it. While it didn’t make me scream or gasp like Relic did, it was suspenseful enough to keep me thoroughly entertained. The Paleontologist ranks among the best of the dinosaur novels in my opinion—and I’ve read a lot of dino-centric fiction.

Science Fiction Worth Reading: The Only Harmless Great Thing #BookReview #Bookrecommendations #booklovers #scifi #sciencefiction

Book Review, Science Fiction Books / M Pax / October 8, 2024

Here’s another great sci-fi story centered around elephants!

The Only Harmless Great Thing by Brooke Bolander is a mesmerizing long short story that skillfully weaves together the tragic historical events of Topsy the elephant’s execution and the Radium Girls, with a captivating future sci-fi twist. The narrative unfolds through four distinct points of view: a future scientist negotiating with the elephants, Topsy the elephant, a dying Radium Girl, and the Mother of Mothers (elephants).

Bolander’s ability to blend history with speculative fiction is nothing short of remarkable. I was thoroughly engrossed in the way these seemingly disparate elements were intertwined to create a powerful and cohesive story. The inclusion of sci-fi elements with elephants was an unexpected delight, especially after enjoying similar themes in The Tusks of Extinction.

The story’s unique perspectives and poignant themes left a lasting impression on me. The interplay of historical and futuristic narratives highlights the enduring impact of human actions and the deep, often tragic connections between species. Loved, loved, loved this story.
