What is Dahak’s opinion of Inherit the Stars?

Please don’t use the term “sci-fi.” It’s SO condescending and we are not children.

Inherit the Stars does have sequels if I remember correctly. Terrific book.

Enjoy your videos. Please make more. Consistency will pay off. We need more science fiction channels!

im thinking of doing a books bongs and munchies channel thoughts?

Try lifeprobe and Procyons promise by Michael McCullom

Ben Bova; hmmmmmm. Bought his book Voyages II in 1988, just read this week. First two thirds-interesting, last third-garbage. Never buy another one.

Just bought Sea of Rust thanks to this video. It sounds interesting, Ill read it after I finish Neil Asher's Polity series.

Inherit the Stars is included for free with an Audible membership right now for those who like audiobooks!

Hi Kyle, good premise, great list. I have actually read "Inherit The Stars" (plus books 2 & 3) and "Saturn" (I have read maybe 15 books from Ben Bova's from Grand Tour series and enjoyed them all - I rank them 3-4 stars on my Good reads profile, all easy and enjoyable reads). I will check out the ones I have not read from your list and maybe add them to my TBR, especially FORTUNES PAWN, I really enjoy a strong female protagonist - so missing from much classic SF of which I have read a ton of in the last 50 years. 😁

Your beer looks like piss, so I guess it's quite close to make love in a canoe... ;D

Thank you so much for your recommendations! Also, thank you for providing a picture of each book for us to look and check the covers. I love that !!! Many many TH-camrs hold books in their hands and try to talk with their hands at the same time…it is super frustrating because we who watch the videos love to see all the details in the books covers….I don’t understand why people don’t pay attention to this….anyway….love your videos!! Great background!!! …and cheers 🍻

Very nice video! This channel needs more recognition

No human-eating aliens? You need at least one Kyle.

I read Inherit the Stars when it came out and loved it. Fantastic novel.

The Sub-Human series by David Simpson! Loved them!

‘The Man who folded himself’ by David Gerrold is a fantastic book. What is not mentioned is he ends up dealing with multiples of himself, which made different decisions.

5 starts is a good rank, it is better than 4 stars and much better than 3 starts, then again it is less than 6 stars and much less than 7 stars

Yo dude! Really dig your videos.

The Martian/The Road are iving proof that SF is turned into children shit!!

Your videos are really good man. If you start going through your library making more videos, I am sure you would get a decent following. Sitting in your kick ass library swigging beer and casually talking about cool books in a clear non-pretentious manner is pretty much what I have been looking for in a scifi review channel. I know nothing about you but I feel like you would have been a great guy to play D&D with back in the day. 😄🤙Subscribed.

SF died 'bout 30 yrs ago......bcame like politics/music .....populist ...if appeals to6/15 yrs olds , being sooo many millions of people within that range , doesn't need to be so good to amass huge numbers in sales.....kind like Michael Jackson's music/disco!!

Impressive video quality. Thanks for the recommendations

👍

Pleaseee, make more videos! You help shine light on long-forgotten authors that, unfortunately, don’t seem to be as “relevant” to my generation of readers. All because they aren’t shoved in our faces on Amazon. As someone who prefers to explore some lesser known authors, I thank you for feeding my mind, helping satisfy my curiosity, and opening my eyes to more options out there than just “best sellers.” More, please.

If you enjoyed return man, perhaps try David Brin's The Postman

Loved "Inherit". There are so many but a few that are rarely mentioned (but deserve to be honored): Queen of Spades = Greg Bear (his best), Accelerando (Stross), Brother Termite (ANthony), Blind Sight (Watts) and Solis (Attananis)

I'm always on the lookout for more sci fi and most videos on youtube either deal with the "classics" or novels to start with. This video is exactly what I hope people would do more - I haven't heard of any of the books listed here and am looking forward to reading them. Thank you!

Horaay for _The Man Who Folded Himself_ Just describe the book as the ultimate time travel novel wherein every notion and consequences is explored including that one night when . . .

Nice "fringe" presentation - good to have a place to look that doesn't all count on mainstream books 😎

Anything written by Adam Roberts is woefully underrated. I've read two of his: On, and Stone, both incredibly clever, inventive, and unexpected. Highly recommended.

Leinenkugel's! You've upgraded your beer game! There's still so many great craft wheat beers out there you should try.

I'm sorry you went with Blue Moon and mentioned it's your favorite wheat beers. This makes me question everything you've said. lol. Recommendations: Wiehenstephaner, Paulaner, Franziskaner, Bell's Oberon (summer seasonal), or Allagash White. Get out there, there are plenty of great wheat beers. (thanks for the book recommendations)

Gotta say... *anything* by J. P. Hogan is 100% awesome. Wish he wrote more!

Are these Amazon ratings? Google ratings? Goodreads ratings?

You realize Kyle, That most people, most, dont know what their doing. Sometimes you just have to step off that cliff. And get that shit..done. Cheers! Jeff

I like to read and enjoy science fiction books also. I also like to listen to audio books on you tube. I love short stories, of any genre, including sci-fi. My fave sci -fi writers are Stephen King, Ursula K Le Guin, Philip K Dick, HG Wells, Dan O'Bannon, Tim Schooch, Joey Vimsante, Jules Verne, Arthur C Clarke, Bob Gale, and George Orwell.

Nice first video! I will have to check these out.

Ever read Friday by Heinlein? I'm wondering how it holds up, sexist wise.

Was super bummed when I saw your original video and found out you had like 2-3 videos instead of 200-300 reviews of book suggestions lol love your style of reviewing

Fortune's Pawn is just stealing from the Expanse. There is way too many books coming out just like this one.

great video thank you!

Thank you for your suggestions. Some of them really grabbed my attention. I recommend Ra by Qntm.

I'd put Sea of Rust on a list of my favourite sci-fi books. It's excellent. Return Man sounds interesting.

Hey Kyle. Angela here. I too have a Booktube channel. I loved the last 2 books you mentioned. Might check them out. Thanks for the video. Your library looks awesome and super- comfy! Looking forward to more from you. 😊

Kyle fantastic 👏glad i found you

You ever read The Ice People by Rene Barjavel? Got the same kind of premise of finding people that they carbon date and they predate the known existence of humans. Though I feel like it could have been better but I really loved it. They assume that humans are just much older so the idea of humans coming from elsewhere probably would suit me more. Also Ben Bova is fantastic, a true household name in our home. Glad to hear his name on booktube.

I love videos like this. Added a couple of books to my TBR. Seems like everybody's always talking about the same handful of books. Not enough science fiction booktubers in my opinion.

~ Always up for lesser known works. As a rookie booktuber I also like your clear delivery & qualifiers for what fits your definition of science fiction. Keep it going. ~

Another great vid👍 I would definitely like to see another vid sometime maybe covering some other genres, like vampire,werewolf or other monstery books. If you happen to be into those type of books.
