This thread is for nominations for READER category for August 2020.

READER books need to be
* currently in print in either hardback or paperback (or both). Requiring a special order from a store or website counts, but not if the book is only available used.
* currently available in multiple ebook formats, from multiple vendors
* Space Opera, which means a spaceship has to be involved in the story somewhere.
* If it is part of a series, it needs to be suitable to being read without having read other books in the series.
* Please no blatantly erotic books, as some of our members are not full adults yet.

RULES:
* you may nominate one book on this thread.
* you may second as many nominations as you like on this thread.
* it is okay to nominate the same book on more than one nomination thread, as long as it meets the criteria
* books we already have on our bookshelf will be disqualified
* If a book you nominate or second is selected, you are expected to post at least one comment about it on the thread about the book.
* In about two weeks I will draw a book randomly, with each second being one raffle ticket for the book. That is, a book with three seconds (so four of us want it) will get three chances in the pool.

It is likely helpful if you know something about a book that has been nominated if you mention it in this thread, whether it is for or against the book.

Audrey | 515 comments I am nominating Suicide Run by Nathan Lowell. We have read a couple of other books by this author, including the first book of this particular series Milk Run and I really enjoyed his stories.

Al "Tank" (alkalar) | 45 comments Last Train from Earth Holy Christian Empire 2206 by Al Philipson I nominate Last Train from Earth: Holy Christian Empire 2206 by Al Philipson. First book in series. No cliff hanger. Complete in itself. Available in ebook everywhere and paperback at Amazon.

Hint: I spotted the ebook free this month at Smashwords. Part of their big promotion.

I love the entire series and this is one of the best.
