The Salvation Sequence by Peter F. Hamilton.

Salvation 
Salvation Lost 
The Saints of Salvation 
👍👍👍👍 

 Not as good as the Commonwealth saga but an amazing story which I binged like a maniac (thanks to the 🎄 holidays!) A story of alien invasion. Interesting science fiction concepts and gripping plots. I liked the aliens a lot! and as usual with Hamilton this growing sensation of starting small but gradually becoming bigger and bigger to interstellar and galactic scopes, travelling hundreds of light years through wormholes with the story developing across thousands of years.

The Invisible Frontier by Benoit Peeters and François Schuiten.

Beautiful art, unforgettable story. I love the fantastic world of the Obscure Cities series. I hope #IDW keeps publishing these books because I want more.

Way Station by Clifford Simak.

Super duper Good!! 

Much more than science fiction and very well written. 👍 This is not a sophisticated, technology-focused story. Most of the story takes place inside the station with Enoch reflecting about the past and future or talking to alien visitors. There is some action outside but not much. I'd say this is a character-driven novel but also a philosophical one exploring the role of humanity in the cosmos, longevity, immortality, civilization and progress. Great read.

The Case of Charles Dexter Ward by H.P. Lovecraft.

Enjoyable and dark. It delves into Lovecraft's insane world of monstrous things. It starts with Charles Ward's disappearance from a mental asylum and then back a few months with his family physician starting an investigation on Ward's secret activities.
