This is another story of survival in a near future dystopia. There is the expected darkness here but also, at times, an odd soft-focus. Still, an engaging tale.

Investigation of Lorca’s Murder
4 stars
This deep dive into the death of Lorca was researched and written when some of those involved were still alive for the author to interview. Worth tracking down a copy for anyone interested in Lorca or the Spanish Civil War.

Typical of recent Scalzi. Absurd and entertaining with a dose of social commentary.

Connections and Memory
5 stars
Part memoir and part rumination, in Question 7 Flannagan improbably connects family history, H.G. Wells, colonialism, the bombing of Hiroshima and more. A fascinating read.
