Oh, didn't realise GregP had chosen it. I found it a bit twee, prefer my space operas a bit darker - Iain M Banks style ;-)

But I have got another one of her books on Kindle to try. It's either a stand alone one or from a different series as I wasn't really invested in the characters from our one.

I’ve got another short space opera by a very well respected hard sci fi author in mind for my next chozz.

You can’t not select me forever*

*well you can under some three strikes rule - I also chose the really bad thriller that me and McG thought was so bad it was good but most people thought was just bad. And the creepy Japanese one with the bloke that collected batteries. And the dystopian sci fi one about sleep deprivation.
