I'm looking for the title of a book that was published maybe 50 years ago. All I remember about it (except that I really enjoyed it and want to read it again) is that it ends with the protagonists in a space ship watching the universe collapse and being reborn. Anyone know the author/name?

Looking for a book

As part of an effort to review more books I enjoy, I wrote this up for Stellar Heir. Sci-fi doesn't seem to be as popular lately, but I love space opera and adventure, and this felt like Mass Effect (a video game series I loved) so it was perfect.

Stellar Heir by Scott Killian

5/5 Stars! Like I said, I love Mass Effect (the first 3 games, not including the ending) and I'm so glad I read this. Stellar Heir is a space opera story about Jael, the captain of the Zigzagunda (say that 3 times fast) and I love the team he puts together. He finds an artifacts that gives him visions (just like with Shepard) but the story takes a much different twist.

Jael used to be a warrior monk, so the fight scenes are awesome in more ways than just with guns. Also, the author has said that his younger life he was part of a super religious community, and later left, and I think the main character has a little bit of that in him. I found that really fascinating.

However, the book really shines in character interactions and moment, and while there's tons of action, I definitely loved seeing the team. I highly recommend to anyone who loves space opera.

Hi - I'm looking for a new(ish) series of stand alone book that has a 'high-tech James Bond' type protagonist. I really liked Altered Carbon (book 1) and Neal Asher's Gridlinked / Agent Cormac books, though those are now 20 year sold. Anything similar but more recent? Cheers!

SciFi action adventure similar to Altered Carbon and Gridlinked from the last 10 years?

Was it a book you were required to read in school? Were you older and just wanted to pick up a little something different? Have you always been a fan and a book or series stands out over others. I'll begin -  Fahrenheit 451 as required reading in high school, but I consumed Sci-fi movies prior enjoying books. Please share yours.

I am doing a project for university where I hope to look at highways, roads and cars as a significant symbol in future scapes. More specifically, how the future of the film challenges the idea that they represent absolute freedom, an extension of the self, a tool of self governance etc. Think blade runner 2049, Fith Element, Brazil, The Road. Any recommendations and why would be really appreciated!

Sci-fi novels or films with highways, roads and cars as a central symbol

Hello!  I was wondering if anyone reading this can help me identify the name of two sci-fi stories I read as a child. These are likely very old stories, before the 90s for sure.

One story is about the sun getting too close to earth. People are installing air conditioners and dreaming of being too cold but in reality the earth is getting roasted by the sun.

The other story is of a family living on a planet (earth?) where it is so cold they must venture outside of their cave to collect solidified oxygen so they can warm it up by their fire to breath. They had loads blankets to help keep to cold out of their cave and spare buckets of solidified oxygen as back up.

  
Thank you!
