Jan. 16th, 2020 07:59 pmFirst off we have Places in the Darkness by Chris Brookmyre.
someone on the Traveller RPG mailing list recommended it and on a whim, I checked and found that not only did the library have the ebook, but it was available. I checked it out and thoroughly enjoyed it.
It's a murder mystery on a space station, but there's a *lot* more going on. The station is well described and definitely "lived in:. I can't say a lot more without spoilers (well, it's possible, but I'm bad at that sort of thing).
The second is On a Sunbeam. It's a webcomic and also a book. I'm reading the webcomic and it's great.
It's fairly far future SWF, and doesn't explain much of anything. You just pick up details as it goes along. It's done well, and while I have a *huge* list of questions about the universe, they don't interfere with enjoyimng the story.
It's the tale of a girl, Mia, and much of it is flashbacks to her time in a boarding school. The rest starts after she graduates and starts working with a crew that restores/repurposes buildings. Only these buildings are floating in space. One of the many things that aren't explained, but just *are*.
There's a strong romance element, but I like it.
