"This Is How It Ends starts off kind of like a typical young adult romance, with 15-year-old Billy Gunn and his best friend Rory Wilder spending their last days of summer together on a camping trip dreading having to go back to school. It’s an especially noteworthy trip for Billy, as he comes out to Rory, who he’s had a crush on since the two first met in 8th grade. Despite Rory being a conservative Baptist, Billy’s revelation isn’t exactly disastrous, which is pretty much the best you can expect in rural Mississippi. But still the world ends, just not metaphorically. And this is when the story veers from traditional romance."

For this week's book at Queer Sci-Fi, I review Shaun Young's debut sci-fi novel, Castor.

"In the distant future, humans will make it beyond the solar system, but some will wish they hadn’t. Poor 16-year-old James Fisher survived an unimaginably brutal war on Earth, only to end up being shipped off in stasis to Castor, a colonized planet many light years away, and then had his organs ripped out and replaced so that he could survive on a hostile planet as a virtual slave to a plantation owner. Oh the life of a Half-Adapt war refugee."
