I can’t believe I haven’t read Baldwin before now. The writing is quite visceral and I’m so glad I finally picked up his writing.

I love science fiction, but I’ve been branching out more into fantasy, mystery, and even some romance. It’s always fun to explore unfamiliar genres!

Daniel Strokis reviewed Space Station Ice-3 by Bruce Coville
A quirky little story
3 stars
I found this book for under $1 and figured I’d give it a try. It’s a short, kind of goofy story about a child solving a mystery in space. I wouldn’t say you need to go out of your way to find this book, but if you can find it for very cheap then it’s worth the short amount of time it takes to read.
