Why read it?
1 author picked Home as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because it has a strong female lead character. These are rare in entertainment in general, and especially in sci-fi books, besides a few notable exceptions. It’s one of the reasons I decided to feature a woman as the protagonist in my book.
The novel also features a plot about humans living throughout space and how dangerous space might become when that happens. Like my own, it was self-published.
From Danny's list on unlikely heroes facing existential threats.
