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.
