Ice Planet BarbariansRuby Dixon · 2015Heat not statedAliens

Our own high spice roundup describes it as committing fully to high heat, which is our editorial view rather than a publisher statement.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Next Read Picker work?

Pick a trope, a heat level, and whether you want aliens or human only leads.

The list updates the moment you choose.

Open any book for its details, then save it to your private shelf.

Where do the book details come from?

Some entries are sourced from publicly available publisher, author, or retailer listings, and each one says which.

Publishers rarely state a door label at all, so where we give a heat level and no listing does, it is our editorial estimate and is labelled as one.

Where a heat level is not stated anywhere, the book is marked accordingly.

None of it comes from our own reading.

Is my saved reading list private?

Yes.

Books you save go to a private to-be-read shelf stored on your own device.

There is no account and no sign in required to use the picker or to save books.

Is The Starfall Accord included in the picker?

Yes.

The Starfall Accord is included and marked Ours because we publish it.

It uses the same trope, heat, and aliens filters as every other book, so it only appears when it matches what you picked.
