I’m on a science fiction kick in my reading of late, resulting in a science fiction kick in my reviewing. Most recently, I listened to Endeavour by Ralph Kern as an Audible audiobook. It was a fun story that’s worth checking out, whether you get the audiobook or the e-book.

Before you do, though: the language. Yeah, the author likes his profanity. There are some F-bombs.

On the other hand, there’s relatively little explicit sex, mostly just hints about characters sneaking off together.

The usual speed bumps aside, though, this is a fun yarn about space travel and exploration. The author intends to propose an answer to science’s famous “Fermi paradox.” Paraphrased, that paradox is something like, the universe is huge enough that there almost have to be other intelligent species out there. So why don’t we hear them? Where are they? This novel has a proposed answer, and unless you’re a super-seasoned sci-fi reader, there’s a good chance you haven’t encountered it before.

If you like tales of space exploration, and you can stomach some strong language, check out Endeavour by Ralph Kern
