9. Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells

Sun Dec 22, 2024, 08:39 PM

Sunday

I'm up to book six and Martha Wells is my new favorite sci-fi author. She's won a Hugo and a Nebula for these stories of a rogue security unit serving humans in outer space. Strong story lines, convincing technical details and a righteous but deadly protagonist who, freed of human controls, details his travails with wit and irony. Great fun; highly recommended.

I also just started Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. I'm 70 pages in and haven't quite decided what to make of it.
