Sci-Fi Romance Kindle Novels

Love knows no boundaries or different gravitational pulls. Sci-fi romance is still a relatively new category which can make it difficult to find well-written and original plot lines. There are plenty of great love stories in science fiction literature. Amazon Kindle is the most convenient way to access the endless library of literature on the internet and read it anywhere and anytime. From classics like the romantic relationship of Paul and Chani in Dune to an alien's last hope to restore his species in Captured, there is a story for every fan of sci-fi romance Kindle novels.

The story of Dune is to science fiction what The Lord of the Rings is to fantasy. This Hugo and Nebula Award winner might not seem like a science fiction romance Kindle novel, but it tells the sweeping tale of a desert planet called Arrakis, the focus of an intricate power struggle in a byzantine interstellar empire. Arrakis is the sole source of Melange, the "spice of spices." Melange is necessary for interstellar travel and grants psychic powers and longevity, so whoever controls it wields great influence (much like oil in today's society, which almost certainly the real world influence behind Frank Herbert's Dune. However, the love story between Paul Muad’dib and Chani is what makes Dune a science fiction romance contender. She shows up in his dreams before he ever meets her, she protects him as his bodyguard, and they profess their love with lines that wouldn’t look out of place in any romance novel. Heck, when Paul must marry a princess for political reasons and make Chani a concubine, he gives Chani a beautiful promise that he’ll never love the princess, and only ever have eyes for Chani.

So many sci-fi romance kindle novels are about waiting faithfully for a love interest to return. Joe Haldeman gave us a science fiction classic where a woman waits for her lover to return from war in The Forever War, even though the physics of space travel means she must wait for centuries. Deep in space, humans discover the fearsome Taurans after a transport ship is destroyed. To combat the threat, humanity sends in the United Nations Exploratory Force—a highly trained unit built for revenge. Conscripted into the service, physics student William Mandella fights for his planet against the alien force light years away. However, because of the relative passage of time when one travels at incredibly high speed, the Earth he returns to after his two-year experience has progressed decades and is foreign to him in disturbing ways. Not only is this a love story, but is one of the best sci-fi military books ever written, perfectly capturing the alienation that servicemen and women experience even now upon returning home from battle.
