The Kansas City SF&F Literati were holding their November book discussion when this post went live. If you read The Clown Service but couldn't attend the meeting, you might enjoy the after-meeting online summaries and comments they post on their Facebook page.
And there's no time like the present to plan for their next meeting!
Since their regular Fourth Monday of December always falls during the height of the winter holidays, the group takes a month off, but that just gives you more time to read and enjoy the January selection, a sweeping space opera. Order or reserve your copy now!
Seeds of Earth
By Michael Cobley
Overview
from Barnes & Noble:
The first intelligent species to encounter mankind attacked without warning. Merciless. Relentless. Unstoppable. With little hope of halting the invasion, Earth's last roll of the dice was to dispatch three colony ships, seeds of Earth, to different parts of the galaxy. The human race would live on ... somewhere.
150 years later, the planet Darien hosts a thriving human settlement, which enjoys a peaceful relationship with an indigenous race, the scholarly Uvovo. But there are secrets buried on Darien's forest moon. Secrets that go back to an apocalyptic battle fought between ancient races at the dawn of galactic civilization. Unknown to its colonists, Darien is about to become the focus of an intergalactic power struggle where the true stakes are beyond their comprehension. And what choices will the Uvovo make when their true nature is revealed and the skies grow dark with the enemy?
