I've wanted to create this thread for years, and for some reason I never did.
I'm sure a lot of you big geeks read actual books - paper or not. I love my little Kindle and I consider myself a bit of a bookworm so this is the thread for book reviews, recommendations and anything related.
To start, I finished the Rho Agenda trilogy by Richard Phillips a couple of weeks ago and I simply cannot recommend it enough. Absolutely and utterly brilliant sci-fi books that kept me awake turning page after page all night. It follows the story of three teenagers who secretly discover the titular Second ship, an extra-terrestrial vessel called this way because a few years before another ship landed on earth (The Rho ship). From here things turn into a wild race of government secrets, espionage, the three teenagers having to juggle the constantly evolving special powers the ship has given them, while going through college, getting into trouble and trying to save the world at the same time.
If you like non-space-opera sci-fi with a great human feel and very out of this world ideas, this is a great trilogy, starting with The Second Ship. Wow wow wow.
More to follow.
