Fresh Fiction Review

SPECULATIVE SKY
Clare Dargin

Reviewed by Chris Jones
Posted December 9, 2010

Romance Paranormal

Clare Dargin is a science fiction, fantasy, and romance writer. She has a love for these genres and the military, all of which she weaves together very well.

In SPECULATIVE SKY, Astrophysicist April Mullen takes a chance and leaves her home for an assignment on a science colony far away from Earth. April's job is to monitor the stars at night and to record her findings. When she arrives, she notices that her new home is a little different. Though there is evidence of life out there, they don't want her to either acknowledge it or do anything with this discovery. April finds this troubling and thus begins her tale.

I found this story to be very engaging and read right through it. Clare Dargin has a distinctive voice that comes through in her writing. If you enjoy science fiction, fantasy, and a determined heroine this is the book to read. Throw in a touch of Alice in Wonderland, and you are set.

SUMMARY

Astrophysicist April Mullen has just been hired to monitor the deepest reaches of outer space.  In this small outpost filled with scientists, she notices something amiss.  Though the idea of searching for extra-terrestrial contact is permitted the practice of doing so is not encouraged. 

Not satisfied with the status quo, April decides to forgo the warnings of her superiors to make contact with the inhabitants of that speculative sky.
