Hello,
I’ve been trying to keep my anxiety and negativity in check and have been looking for short novels that lean toward positive feelings. Something like “Star Trek The Next Generation”: inspiring, encouraging; even though there are difficulties we learn, adapt and make mistakes. But at the end we’ll make it and we’ll get out of it better than we got into it. 😅
Possibly sci-fi or scientific, or adventure (eg the Hornblower saga)
(Sorry couldn’t find a better way to describe it 😅)
Thank you for any suggestion!
As Mastema said, Becky Chambers. Her Wayfarers series (first book being A Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet) is sublime. I can’t recommend it enough
Thank you, kind poster!
You’re most welcome! Let me know what you think!
Midshipman’s Hope. It’ s Hornblower in space.
That sounds cool! Thank you so much!
Also, Startide Rising by David Brin is “Uplifting”. It’s about the first interstellar starship captained by a dolphin, with a dolphin and human crew.
They make a momentous discovery which puts them on the run from formidable alien fleets with the fate of all Earthlings hanging in the balance.
Oh wow, that’s certainly intriguing. Thank you!
I enjoyed Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldtree. It’s about a retired adventuring orc who decides to open a coffee shop instead of murdering people
I’ve signed up for that at my local library. Thank you! It’s the kind of thing that I may be looking for!
Maybe the book in which the Dune story was created, the Frank Herbert’s book.
Oh?
