Action and Adventure in Space

When the standard dose of action and adventure just isn’t enough to get your heart pumping and your blood flowing, why not take it to space? Here are three action adventure novels set in space that are sure to satisfy and thrill every bit as much as they entertain.

The Warrior’s Apprentice by Lois McMaster Bujold. Part of a series following the saga of Miles Vorkosigan, a disabled military man whose intellect more than makes up for his disabilities, The Warrior’s Apprentice is a particularly action-packed installment that thrills with every page, and a shining example of why the Vorkosigan Saga has earned Bujold multiple Hugo awards.

Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey. Once labelled “as close as you’ll get to a Hollywood blockbuster in book form” by io9, Corey’s tale of space adventure offers a little bit of everything, from mystery to romance, with a whole lot of thrills in between. Oh, and did we mention vomit zombies?

Use of Weapons by Iain M. Banks. The third novel in the critically acclaimed Culture Series, Use of Weapons offers all the thrills we’ve come to expect from Banks, but this time in the form of a biography of a man called Cheradenine Zakalwe. Nominated for multiple awards and topping many fan favorite lists, it’s well worth the read.

Our Deep Rooted Need for Adventure

It’s easy to fall into routine. We are, after all, creatures of comfort. Wake up, get ready for work, got to work, come home from work, relax on the couch with Netflix, lather, rinse, repeat. Perhaps there’s the occasional trip to the gym our outing with friends, maybe even a vacation thrown in every once in a while for good measure.

Somewhere along the way, however, we lost something. Somewhere along the way we dropped the sense of wonder that came from childhood dreams of grand adventures, adventures where we’re heroes on a quest, out to explore or out to save the day. These days we content ourselves to live vicariously through our social media feeds and travel blogs, rather than go out and have experiences of our own.

We’ve become a generation of consumers. Not consumers in the material sense that our parents were, as more and more of us are adopting minimalist lifestyles, but consumers of content. On-demand streaming services give us our fix whenever we want it, and ebooks have made the written word more accessible than ever. This is not a bad thing, but it’s time to do something better with it.

Rather than consume our content and let it haunt our dreams with adventures we can never hope to live through, it’s time to let that content inspire us! It’s time to make ourselves the heroes we watch, read about, and indeed dream about. It’s time to satisfy our deep rooted need for adventure. Let’s go out and make it happen!
