The Craft of Writing Science Fiction that Sells by Ben Bova, best-selling author and six-time Hugo Award winner for Best Editor. (This is one of the books your ol' Critter Captain learned from himself, and I highly recommend it.) (Also via Amazon)
The Sigil Trilogy
If you're looking for an amazing, WOW! science fiction story, check out THE SIGIL TRILOGY. This is — literally — one of the best science fiction novels I've ever read.

Loved this book!
Excellent prose. A murder mystery and psychological thriller that will keep you guessing.
I loved Silvia Villalobos' Stranger or Friend! An excellent literary mystery that, for me, put it above your typical suspense/mystery.
Great story with mystery, love, and starting over aspects.
Silvia did an excellent job of crafting the suspense while leading me down an unknown path. I usually can guess who the 'bad guy' is, but NOT in this case.
It's a book that spooks you and every character seems a suspect
An intriguing tale with some interesting twists ...
Excellent pace, description, tension, writing - - a sure winner
Really had me hanging on to every word! Excellent writing!
It kept me on the edge of my seat.
The story's momentum is non-stop, and her puzzling out the the why's and how's stays interesting throughout.
Stranger or Friend is a fascinating story in beautiful prose.
One of the best books I've read in 2015.
It kept me reading more than many books I've read in some time.
I'm looking forward to reading the next book by this author.
