Searching for Intelligent Science Fiction with Strong Female Leads Film based (or inspired by) Kelley Eskridge's Solitaire. I highly recommend! Yeah, I know, it’s been awhile. But no one noticed because since I forbade third-party sharing, including scraping my blog to train AI, it gets no notice. At least that’s my theory. For the record, this blog and all my writing are 100 percent by me, a human.
