Salvage Crew by Yudhanjaya Wijeratne
O.R.S.: This book is about the adventures of a former human/now ship AI, which, along with his crew, is charged with salvaging a ship on a strange planet with mysterious ends. It is largely first-person from the AI’s perspective. In my first read, I could really feel the author’s enthusiasm for ideas, a kind ofContinue reading “Salvage Crew by Yudhanjaya Wijeratne”

It is told through two perspectives. I feel like the reviewers of M John Harrison don’t quite know what to do with him, don’t quite alwaysContinue reading “M John Harrison, Sunken Lands Begin to Rise Again”
Quantum Space by Douglas Phillips
ORS: American government scientists race to figure out the disappearance of a joint Soviet-US space capsule–and stumble upon a quantum physics conundrum. It is told across largely two characters. I have such a soft spot for self published science nerdy near-future sci-fi. (See The Martian, which is probably the exemplar of this category.) Is theContinue reading “Quantum Space by Douglas Phillips”
