2 Books Like How Six Saved the Frogs

I loved the discussions of free will, individuality and humanity here. What makes us human? If we are so changed that we become unrecognizable on the outside, are we still human in any way that counts? And if your personality is transferred into something or someone else, are you still, well, you?

The story draws you into this fascinating world and its myriad cross-currents, culminating in the event foreshadowed by the title. I won’t say any more lest I spoil things, but suffice it to say that the ending is both momentous and immensely satisfying, offering multiple resolutions and character redemptions.

This series is as good a piece of science fiction as I have read in ages, a story I literally did not want to put down, although one has to make allowances for food breaks and the occasional couple hours of sleep. This is a fantastic, towering work of… show more.

There are nail-biting space walk scenes, terrifying battles, and some good-old-fashioned negotiating with the person they left for dead on a previous mission, from who they now need for supplies. The whole story exudes a Firefly (or Star Wars) vibe.

A story with older characters shouldn’t seem so daring. It’s refreshing seeing these women, whom society wants to relegate to the sideines, rediscover who they are and kick some ass. Just goes to show that you don’t have to be a hopped up, macho space marine to clean someone’s clock.

A fantastic read, a thoroughly delightful romp through space with an all-female main cast that blends crazy action scenes with deep reflection on what it means to grow older. This isn’t your parents’ Golden Girls.

I just hope they come back again for more.
