Last night I finished a book I read for a reason that did not give me particularly high expectations: the author is a friend of my wife. I knew knew that she (the author) liked Babylon 5, so at least she had good taste.
To my surprise, I found myself really enjoying it. There are a couple of places where the writing is clunky but the characters were interesting and the story was engaging. I’m very much looking forward to the sequel (due this year).
If you enjoy low-stakes science fiction mysteries, I can thoroughly recommend Artificial Selection by Marianne Pickles. I will try to avoid spoilers, but if you hate people putting machine learning in totally inappropriate places, there is a two-page rant about 3/4 of the way through that you’ll enjoy (I did!).
