“EU VIVO” by Brandon Collier is a gripping sci-fi tale of a space navigator’s challenging return to a transformed Earth, where he confronts personal loss, the complexities of human-droid relationships, and a quest for self-discovery. Collier masterfully blends futuristic technology with deep human emotion, making it a compelling read for fans of speculative fiction.

This was fun to read. What I liked most was the interaction between the crew. I can see this being a series on the sci-fi channel as they go on multiple adventures.

Long Live the Night is a novel about slaves and pirates, struggles for survival, and adventure. It is recommended reading for those interested in stories of pirates, politics, and kings.

From swashbuckling fights involving leader Prince Ade from the Gold Coast to a treasure hunt that tests loyalty and alliances alike, Brandon Collier crafts a tale that embraces both nautical and landside adventures.

The characters are often “like ships in the sea with nowhere to go” as an island economy changes, international relationships and special interests are tested, and new alliances are forged, from Nassau to Spain and beyond.

Many have Ade to thank for their changes in fortune. Others curse his name. Rodrigo and his sister Selima are among those whose lives were changed for the better, having grown up very poor on the streets of Marbella, Spain. Rodrigo was a thief who often got caught until he changed his life, first by working at a local inn catering to sailors and then by becoming a cook for a ship tasked with bringing slaves to the new world, as ordered by King Philip the Fifth.  Each of his decisions changes his life and that of his sister. Each leads them into a world far different than street life in Europe.
