Book cover of Stellar Instinct by Jonathan Nevair. A Spy-Fi Space Adventure. A realistic illustration shows a woman positioned diagonally across the cover wearing an action-y outfit. She has long brown hair and is holding a laser gun in each hand. Behind her, one half of the background is blue with several spaceships zooming past. The other half is yellow, with a futuristic city skyline of tall buildings and a large planet or moon.

I finished Stellar Instinct by @jnevair.bsky.social last night. If you're looking for a popcorn flick of a space romp, Stellar Instinct has you covered! Very light, very action-focused--bathos cancels out the tension. Strong family feel to it. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š #sciencefiction #scifi

One of my personal purchases from the indie sale: Goodbye to the Sun by @jnevair.bsky.social! Positive reviews praise a great space opera. Negative reviews slam a liberal agenda. I think I've found a winner! Plus, @jamreads.com recommended it!
