I would like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read and honestly review an advanced reader’s copy of this book.

Future’s Edge is my first experience with Gareth L. Powell’s writing, and I’m sure it won’t be my last. He excels at sci-fi, and I tore through this book faster than the speed of light!

Set after the destruction of Earth by alien forces, humanity is left scattered among the stars. Ursula, our protagonist, barely escapes—thanks to the help of her not-really-ex-husband, Jack. She’s a very compelling character, grappling with the trauma of losing her homeworld and the homesickness that follows. On top of that, she must also face the painful reality that Jack, the man she once loved, is now married to the AI of his warship.

The emotional depth of Future’s Edge makes it more than just a thrilling space adventure. Powell crafts a story that’s both action-packed and deeply human, exploring loss, resilience, and the complexities of love. If you’re a sci-fi fan, this is a must-read!
