Action Science Fiction books are basically action/adventure novels that take place within a futuristic setting. They often overlap with Sci-Fi romance, Space Opera, and other sci-fi subgenres. Below you can find my latest posts related to Action Science Fiction.
Read if you like action movies and fast-moving plots!
Can subtlety punch you in the face? Yes. Yes it can. If you don’t believe me, pick up a copy of Dungeon Crawler Carl and get to reading. You will be blasted with gratuitous violence, obscenely offensive caricatures and darkly crass humour, all in service of a deeply relatable bigger-picture narrative about what it feels … Read more
Have you ever known you’d love a book based on the dedication alone? That was my first impression going into Beth Revis’s 2024 romantic space heist Full Speed to a Crash Landing. “This book is dedicated to spite, my greatest muse and motivator.” Apparently, me and Beth share the same muse! The moment I read … Read more

This 2023 apocalyptic romance expertly balances action, spice, and emotional depth to produce a pacey, edge-of-your seat read. If you’re a sci-fi … Read more
There are some books that I absolutely love, but they’re only enjoyable as one-time-reads. Then there are those books and series that I turn to again and again and never get bored, even though I know exactly what’s going to happen. Sometimes, it’s a character who’s become like a friend I’ll always enjoy spending time … Read more
You guys know how much I love Jennifer Estep’s Galactic Bonds series. I’ve enjoyed every step of Vesper and Kyrion’s journey from enemies to lovers to fugitives fleeing an evil emperor who wants to steal their psychic powers. If you’ve been following my reviews of this series, you might be surprised that my love of … Read more
Fallen Angels is the second book in Anna Mocikat’s dark and sexy cyberpunk action series Behind Blue Eyes. I read the first book last year, and I’ve been excited to get back to Nephilim’s story. If you love kickass FMC’s, dark sci-fi, and series with a major romance subplot, read on. You’re definitely going to … Read more
I listened to this one on audio while I was road tripping around Oregon, USA this October. Along with Ruby Dixon’s Space Vampire, it’s another one on my list of “Halloweeny” sci-fi books that I’d hoped to review before October 31st. But even though I’m a day late with this one, Of Monsters and Mainframes … Read more
Other Worlds is a 2025 collaboration between indie authors Ben Logsdon, Erica Rue, R.Lynn Hanks, Calanthe Colt, Amber Toro, Ilias Siametis, Amy Marie Ayres and Alana Faye Wilson.
