The Best Sci-Fi Romance Novels
What is special about the blend of sci fi and romance? I think one reason they blend so well is that you can showcase relationships that are either not in existence yet in our current world, or very unusual, and put them in a context where they’re completely normal. For me, that’s the great strength of sci fi.

Your happiest memory is their deadliest weapon. This is Prophet. It knows when you were happiest. It gives life to your fondest memories and uses them to destroy you. But who has created it? And what do they want? An all-American diner appears overnight in a remote British field. It's brightly lit, warm and inviting but it has no power, no water, no connection to the real world. It's like a memory made flesh - a nostalgic flight of fancy.
