This database lists sci-fi novels (debuts, standalones, and first in series) that have been traditionally published in the last five years. You can filter it by subgenre, age category, and/or publication year, then look at tags that have similarities to your novel.

​

Note that many novels fall under more than one genre; for example, a book could be both a literary horror and a near-future time travel story. Instead of duplicating the titles under both genres, I chose the genre that I thought best matched the book’s summary, and then I added the other genre as a tag. See this article for a description of currently popular subgenres and their tropes: "Ten Sci-Fi Subgenres You Should Know."
