reviewed Messenger Corps by J. N. Chaney (Messenger Corps, #1)

J. N. Chaney, Terry Maggert, Glen Seguin: Messenger Corps (AudiobookFormat, 2024, Podium Audio)

After four centuries of peace, the Cygnus Realm is rotting from within. Decadent and obsessed …

Not bad #HFY style tale. Roughly that level of quality as well.

Messenger Corps is the first novel of a series by the same name. Seems to be a sequal series to called Messenger which take place roughly 400 years before this book. It's a #HFY type formula story featuring AI, mecha and a bit of political intrigue. If you like to rip books apart for every little plot hole and inconsistency, this is probably not for you, but it's a fun tale in spite of that.

Ursula K. Le Guin: The Left Hand of Darkness (EBook, 2000, Penguin Publishing Group)

**50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION—WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY DAVID MITCHELL AND A NEW AFTERWORD BY CHARLIE …

This is probably one of the least scifi scifi books I've listened to in a while. A little had to follow while I'm doing other things. May need to relegate this book to my commutes. Really good so far though.
