Book cover of All Systems Red

Arthur Geis Author Of The Rocket Scientist

From my list on smart sci-fi for thinking readers.

Why am I passionate about this?

I grew up when the space race was starting, and I became fascinated by all things regarding the planets, rockets, and the cosmos. For several years, I lived in the Houston area and spent hours and hours at the Johnson Space Center, where the history and future of space exploration are on display. The books on my list represent a major theme in my writing, which is futuristic in concept and asks the question: what we would do if our planet became uninhabitable. The answer provides the canvas to explore the advantages of technology, but most importantly, the determination of the human spirit.

Arthur Geis Why Arthur loves this book

I love books that are clever, imaginative, and portray a particular person or character as the main theme. This book does it for me.

The character is a murderer robot, but I came to like him and his weird but insightful perspective. I could see his world through his eyes. I felt sorry for him by the end of the book and was rooting for him. That was great.

I always like a bit of technology thrown in, but not have it be the main story or too complicated that it gets in the way of the characters. The writing was especially good, and I found myself turning page after page, engrossed in the story.

Sybil Johnson Why Sybil loves this book

I like to read historical mysteries partly because I enjoy learning about the past. Post World War II Paris comes to life for me in this book featuring American ex-pat Tabitha Knight. With the help of her friend, a young Julia Child (yes, that Julia Child), Tabitha investigates the poisoning of a chef at Le Cordon Bleu where Julia is studying.

This book is a great blend of history, mystery and Paris's culinary world. It took me to the catacombs of Paris and revealed a bit about the city's wartime past.
