Hello Folks,   Hope you all are having a good start to your new year.   It’s just about time for another meeting of the Science Fiction club, the first one of 2026.   It’s another Bring Your Own Book meeting. We decided to do that, rather than have a group read over the holidays. Besides, we’ll now have five weeks until the next meeting on February 12, so the length of the book will not be an issue.   So hope you guys will be thinking about what we might want to read as a group this month.

Reading Time: 15 hours, 4 minutes Read by: Shelton, Jessie Subject: Science Fiction “Deep space holds secrets… and one astronomer for NASA has found a big one. But it’s not what she thinks. Dr. Melody Adams, a physicist and the Gemini North Observatory, was studying Pluto in the telescope data and it struck her as odd. The numbers didn’t make sense. Could there be an extraterrestrial object in our solar system? She followed protocol. The scientific community didn’t believe her. And before she knew what happened, her career was over. The day that changed Melody’s life was like any other over the previous two years. She’d found she had a gift for writing and her career as an author had almost healed the pain of losing her job. When the Secret Service rang her bell, everything changed. Something was nearing Saturn… and it was slowing down. Had she been right about the object? You’ll love this hard science fiction novel because Melody is about to find out that everything she knew about space and time was wrong.”– From publisher. Strong language and some violence.

Hey Guys,   It’s bring your own book for this meeting, but please also bring any ideas you may have for our group read for November. We have five weeks this time, so don’t worry about length.
