Book recommendations, please!
Some recent anchors to help:
The Fifth Season: This is fantastic, and heavier than what I want right now.
A Closed And Common Orbit: This entire series is what I'm looking for. It shnes with values, and the universe is ultimately moral. Though, it could stand a bit more to justify the finances. Preferably in space.
So.
I guess I'm looking for low-conflict, high-character pieces taking place in a universe that challenges our protagonist(s), who ultimately work to make a better galaxy.
Preferably in space.

ReplyDeletePratchett.
ReplyDeleteUrsula is assuredly too difficult for what I'm looking for.
ReplyDeleteSpace Opera is a great idea, Sean Leventhal!
Ringworld and Pratchett are both already well known to me.
The Big Sigma series is very light-hearted and heavily character driven sci-fi.
