Black comedy wrapped in body horror
I love body horror. I always have. And I like Jeff Strand. He's funny and articulate, and his stories pack a hell of a punch. Benjamin's Parasite is no different. Benjamin, an unassuming English teacher, is infected by a parasite that both ravages his body and makes him want to do Bad Things. He's kidnapped by Julie, a beautiful but inept bounty hunter, as they're tracked across the country by people who want the specimen back.

Imagine Nick Cutter's "The Troop" if it was written by Simon Pegg. This is a really fun read, and I recommend it to anyone who isn't too squeamish and loves a good horror comedy.

Not your Grandma’s sci-fi novel
The tech future has made the biggest game in the world a red vs blue expirence akin to esports and March Madness. The world of the game is highly realized, the augmented reality in real life serves as an addictivly immersive expirence. The young billionaire who created the program has layers upon layers that our heroine, Emika, peels back as she gets to know him. She is a hacker, a coder, a bounty hunter, and an all around badass, whose past is difficult but precious to her once her life gets turned upside down and she joins the annual Warcross tournament.
A great, fast paced read.

Basically, this is Star Wars, done right, taking it back to its Western roots with The Mandalorian of the title a bounty hunter hired to capture or kill ("I can take you in hot … or I can take you in cold") a package: a package that proves to be more than he was expecting (and that becomes an internet sensation).

With each episode roughly 30 minutes or so, it never really outstays its welcome, including - during the course of it's 8 episode run - a welcome visit to what must be the most travelled to 'planet that is furthest from the bright centre of the galaxy' aka Tattoinne!
