I've been a fan of Mary Shelley ever since I read Frankenstein, but this was the first time I read her novel The Last Man. I was blown away by this eighteenth century novel which imagines life in the twenty-first century. To me, it really cemented Shelley as the writer who really invented science fiction as we know it.

On the surface, Don Braden's novel Beyond Mystique is good, classic space opera. However, lurking in the pages is an exploration of what makes humans special and what capacities we possess that will allow us to reach the stars.
