Halyna hadn’t expected a show; she’d slunk in after dinner for a sunset sulk, eyes on the horizon. When she’d arrived, the lounge had been quiet, but now the room was full.

Our Ten Favorite Sci-Fi Reads of 2022

To celebrate Science Fiction Day, which is today on January 2nd, 2022, we asked DPP contributors to recommend us their favorite science fiction that they read in 2022! And we got some really awesome answers… (all spelling/grammar is sic the original recommender 😀 )

The Red Scholar’s Wake by Aliette de Bodard. D. V. Morse’s recommendation: “lesbian pirates in space with lots of Vietnamese culture throughout. And so much more I want to say that I keep deleting because spoilers.”

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. Cap’s recommendation: “a ‘motley crew/found family on a perilous journey’ story that centers queer, poly, and otherwise non-traditional characters and relationships. Book 1 of a Hugo-winning series, female author.”

The Testing (The Testing Trilogy) by Joelle Charbonneau. Annabeth Lynch’s recommendation: “I absolutely loved it and I never see people talk about it. It’s distopian sci-fi.”

Threadbare (Storm Fronts Series) by Elle E. Ire. boneturtle’s recommendation: “an action-packed futuristic scifi story featuring ruthless mercenary and cyborg Vick, whom no one (including herself) believes is human, and her lover and handler Kelly, the only person who trusts her implicitly. A simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking lesbian romance that confronts the nature of love and humanity, and what it means to be the hero when you feel like the villain.”

Firebreak by Nicole Kornher-Stace. Adrian Harley’s recommendation: “one of my favorite books I read this year. It’s got a fun adventure setup about a VR gamer who starts discovering the truth behind the star NPCs of the VR game, PLUS the most chillingly plausible dystopia I’ve ever read, bar none, PLUS an aro/ace protagonist and a central platonic relationship.”

The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal. Dei Walker’s recommendation: “it’s The Thin Man in SPAAAACE with a heroine with chronic pain, a really deftly handled non-gender-binary selection of characters, and queer.”

Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell. alec’s recommendation (without comment).

Scythe by Neal Shusterman. nottesilhouette’s recommendation: “the whole series has queer characters in it though the first book is really focused on like 5 people that are all kinda straight. and I am queer, and I like it.”

Global Examination by Mu Su Li. Nina Waters’s recommendation: “queer semi-dystopian vaguely sci-fi manhua shenanigans!”

The Martian by Andy Weir. Rascal Hartley’s recommendation: “not queer, but definitely one of my absolute favorite reads.”

What were YOUR favorite science fiction reads of 2022? We’d love to hear about them!

New Erotica Release: “Clerical Error” by Dei Walker

Dei Walker joins Duck Prints Press for her first publication with us, this f/f, flirty, delicious first-time-together story in a fantasy setting!

Title: Clerical Error

Author: Dei Walker

Genre: Fantasy

Rating: Erotica

Relationship: employer/employee relationship (no consent issues), f/f

Character Features: clumsy, in a religious order, lesbian, mercenary, soldier

Tags: attraction at first sight, cunnilingus, first kiss, flirting, getting together, past tense, pov alternating third person limited

Teaser:

“This is not how I envisioned escorting a cleric going.” The moss and vines covering the weathered stone of the temple swallowed Lilya’s voice. One of her hands dropped to rest on the hilt of her sword, seeking reassurance from the presence of the familiar weapon. Her other hand held a torch aloft; she’d thought it redundant given all the holes in the temple roof, but she’d brought it anyway. Light streamed in through the cracks and gaps, but inside was dim enough to prove her cautiousness right—the torch was necessary. The smell of pitch and tar filled her nose, replacing the heady smell of flowers that had suffused the temple before she lit the torch. Looking around, she tried to find her charge.

Again.

Length: 13 pages/4,397 words
