Being a huge Sci Fi and Fantasy fiction fan I thought I would create a list of the best debut books by new writers. Most of these are published as paperback novels as well as Kindle Editions online at Amazon.

Not only did I love these books the authors also got great reviews from publications that spot award winning titles. Other readers on Amazon also gave these books 4 or 5 stars.

Song of Scarabaeus by Sara Creasy

Takes place in a universe where biocyph technology allows the re-engineering of entire planets using thought alone. The lead character Edie is a master of this science and is being forced to use her knowledge by the government, against her will. When she is kidnapped a wild fascinating adventure develops.

I discovered this book because the author used my instrumental track “Rapid Arc” in her trailer (below). Then I was fortunate enough to read the novel and I completely loved the depth and detail of the visionary scientific imagery. In fact, the book inspired me to write this post!
