September Signature Feature: Hidden Sunlight by Stellar
Well, after a longer haitus than usual, we're back! This is a long, long story by an author many of us have enjoyed for years. Have you read this classic story? It's a go to favorite of mine when I'm looking for that apocalyptic style OMG WHAAAAT story, even though I know exactly what's going to happen, I still love it. Give it a try, especially if you love a LONG read!
Length: 175,313
Description: Facing a life-changing medical procedure, 14 year old Shay approaches it with the same detachment, confusion and dread that has haunted his emotions for as long as he can recall. Yet what follows instead is something that he could not have anticipated in his craziest dreams, and everything he knows is about to change forever.
A reader said: Although I read this story years ago, a recent note by the author compelled me to leave this review, so here goes.
Content on GA, like most human endeavors, follows a Pareto distribution: only 20% of it is worth reading at all, only 20% of that is any good any only 20% of that is truly art. Hidden Sunlight falls into that last category.
This book isn’t a great story by GA standards - it’s a great story by any standards. It ought to be published and read widely.
From the first chapter until the nail-biting conclusion, the adventures of Shay and those he meets on Aspira draw you in. The world-building is first-rate, the science believable (I’m a physicist by training and my disbelief was suspended) and the characters made me care about them. I read this while it was being posted, with sometimes long gaps that only heightened my anticipation.
If you like science fiction at all, you’re doing yourself a disservice if you don’t stop what you’re doing and start reading this book right now. Stellar’s three books are all in my GA top 10 and I’ve been reading this site for 15 years. ~ Bill Corley
