1 author picked Shards of Earth as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Shards of Earth is a rip-roaring science fiction adventure story full of the things I love.
A rag-tag space salvage crew trying to survive and maybe profit against a backdrop of war and invasion finds themselves at the very center of events with the fate of humanity in the balance. There are vast, inscrutable alien death machines wrecking whole planets for reasons nobody can figure out. It even has weird human societies and weirder extraterrestrials.
It's a great space opera with vivid
characters, amazing but plausible technology, and a grand scope.
