Falling Up (The Flying Crooked series Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.7 out of 5 stars (4)

The Flying Crooked Series - bringing back a sense of discovery and wonder to science fiction!

After our human crew persuaded the far-advanced native Keps to allow human genomes to be spliced into native bacteria a new threat arrives. It’s not organic, it’s not on the planet, but it shreds planets. Alien AI have been offended…

“The characters, action and drama on the mind-boggling planet our humans are stranded on makes it one of the most original sci-fi stories I've read in a long while.” Peter Wilhelmsen, fantasy writer.

Chris Rimell, author of Untold History: “As always you do a lovely job of describing the worlds and filling them with colour and aromas.”

Martin Lamberti: International clown. “Just as the Cabbage White’s flight is unpredictable, so the quirky beginnings in Geoff’s newest release. I’m looking forward to the continuation of the crooked flights of the series.”

    As bizarre as the title suggests. What a sequel to "Suppose We"!
  • Eamonn Murphy
    4.0 out of 5 stars Good old fashioned sense of wonder SF
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 12, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Falling Up is the sequel to Suppose We in which a group of four human explorers looking for planets to colonize land on Kepler 20-h and meet the natives. In Falling Up they have established relations with the Keps but are threatened by a highly developed AI species. Nelder is very inventive with new wonders popping up every chapter and he creates characters you care about who are also the positive problem solvers of Golden Age SF. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
