Description

Space: Above and Beyond was one of the most ambitious military sci-fi shows of the 1990s—and that ambition may also have helped get it cancelled after just one season. In this retrospective, I explore what made the series remarkable, where it struggled, and why it deserved more. 🚀🚀My new sci-fi book, Tao Solandis, is out now! 📖 Links to all the ways you can order - https://linktr.ee/scifiodyssey Check out these Tao Solandis reviews: "EVERYTHING SCIENCE FICTION CAN AND SHOULD BE." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐" A DEEP AND ENGAGING READ THAT LEFT ME PONDERING..." ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "EACH STORY IS ORIGINAL, UNIQUE, AND UTTERLY COMPELLING... A TRULY 5 STAR READ." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #scifi #sciencefiction #reading 0:00 - Intro 1:40 - Top Gun in Space 4:54 - The War Behind the War 8:05 - When the Series Became Excellent 9:45 - The Cracks Begin to Show 11:35 - Tell Our Moms We Done Our Best 🚀 Check out my other sci-fi novels below 😊 DELPHINE DESCENDS 📖 - (Amazon link) https://shortlink.uk/P59l After losing her family and freedom at the hands of the Imperial Network, Kathreen is sent to a brutal life of servitude, until a chance twist of fate grants her the identity of a powerful senator's heiress. Determined to destroy the the system that shattered her life, she vows to rise through their ranks-but to defeat them, she risks becoming a monster greater than any of them. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Delphine Descends completely shattered my expectations! ... I could hardly put the book down." - Goodreads BLACK MILK 📖 - (Amazon link) https://shortlink.uk/MHpv Prometheus can resurrect his wife, but at the cost of Earth's destruction-a choice that will unravel the fabric of time and doom humanity to a desperate fight for survival. Black Milk weaves a gripping tale of five lives, bound across aeons, as they battle a relentless post-human entity, with the fate of the universe hanging on Prometheus's ability to confront his own grief. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I would highly recommend this book to any one who is a sci-fi fan…and even those who are not just to show how great this genre can be." - Goodreads ___________________________________________________________________ MY STUFFhttps://linktr.ee/scifiodyssey ____________________________________________________________________ IMAGE USE The images in my videos are a mix of licensed stock photos, videos, and AI generated artwork. However, occasionally I will use images found online. I always seek to properly credit artists and offer a link back to their amazing work but sometimes it's hard to find the original source of the work. If I've used an image you own and I haven't credited you, please feel free to get in touch as I am always more than happy to do so. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
