I have a request for fellow sci-fi buffs. Back in 2015, I checked a book out of the local library, which was apparently the first of a series, begun post-2010, in which an American guy witnesses a UFO crash on a lonely road, ends up amidst a firefight and saves a woman who proves to be the empress of an interstellar empire. Of course, they fall in love and he joins her in space and has to try to protest her as a revolution breaks out.
I liked the book a lot, but couldn't find subsequent issues listed. It looked like the author had shifted to electronic publishing only from that point. I wasn't willing to start doing e-books at that point, so I let it drop.
I'm now looking for something new to read, but have been unable to find the book/series in question. Unfortunately, I can't remember the author or title (I'm getting older, ya know). I have also moved, so I can't go back to the library to see if I can find the one I checked out. I think the author's last name started with an M.
Anyway, if one of my fellow freepers could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
“Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley.
Thanks that was fast!
Too bad there isn’t a hardback omnibus of those novels.
Have you found the title yet you’ve been wanting?
No. Haven’t taken a great deal of time at the Wikipedia link posted, which carries a list of sci-fi novels for the past umpteen years. I’m terribly hopeful. Thanks.
