Recently finished "Not A Good Fit At this Time" by Adam Hulse and had a blast with it. Check out my Goodreads review for details but fans of horror, science fiction, and dark fantasy should absolutely give it a read!
In a race for domination, the Continental Alliance's ambition leads to the uninhibited exploitation of planet Solstice-5. As they construct unstoppable autonomous factories, the Alliance's insatiable quest for power leaves behind a forsaken workforce in a world spiraling out of control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cntb3wcZdTw
"All the same, I agree with my reviewer that I don’t write hard science fiction. Maybe I write easy science fiction. Or maybe the hard stuff’s inside, hidden — like bones, as opposed to an exoskeleton.…"
#JustFinished The Splinter in the Sky, by Kemi Ashing-Giwa
It was good. It wasn't enthralling. I liked the story well enough. I liked the characters, though I felt they weren't that deep. It just didn't grab me all that well. And I found the Great Reveal to have been obvious. It wasn't marked YA, but I felt it should have been.

Searching for a new series to watch. Prefer #SciFi - as long as it's not really horror, or zombies, or werewolves & vampires, or superheroes masquerading as scifi.
But decent action or fantasy stuff will work. preferably with multiple seasons to binge while waiting for new content to recover post strikes.
Recently enjoyed: Person of Interest. The Lazarus Project. Reservation Dogs. The Winter King. The Wheel of Time. Ahsoka. See. Foundation. The Peripheral. Moonhaven. The Expanse. His Dark Materials.
The seventeenth chapter of my hard sci-fi space opera is released! The crew escapes the glubb-enn crossfire, and enters a system property of the Yectkogg corporate empire. The consequences of seeking help from rabid capitalists ensue.
This really is the last of this spurt of releases. We are going back to weekly releases (on Saturdays). The spam is over. Sorry yall for hammering the hashtags.

Gdy za parę tygodni będę podsumowywał mój czytelniczy rok 2023, to czuję, że "Płomień" będzie walczył tam o laury w dwóch kategoriach - fantastyki (lub science-fiction) i zakończenia. Nie dziwię się, że ta powieść dostała najważniejszą polską nagrodę fantastyczną w 2022 roku, bo jest naprawdę dobra, a autorka, niczym wytrawna bokserka, wyczekuje czytelnika, zasypując go różnymi pytaniami w finale. Nie powiem, musiałem się trochę otrząsnąć.
@older I read The Mimicking of Known Successes a couple months ago and then passed it on to my wife. I enjoyed the noir feel and the novel take on humans resettling elsewhere in the solar system. As a nice bonus, the central but understated romance was perfect for my non-aro ace sensibilities.
