Not another project

[james_davis_nicoll]

2025 prometheus award best novel finalists:


Alliance Unbound, by C.J Cherryh and Jane S. Fancher (DAW)
In the Belly of the Whale, by Michael Flynn (CAEZIK SF & Fantasy)
Cancelled: The Shape of Things to Come, by Danny King (Annie Mosse Press)
Beggar’s Sky, by Wil McCarthy (Baen Books)
Mania, by Lionel Shriver (HarperCollins Publishers)

Back in 2017, I reviewed a cross-section of the finalists. I am not going to in this case even though I do like a good generation ship novel and I have fond memories of McCarthy's books. The Cherryh/Fancher falls under a different project, and I am not reading another Shriver for free.

Thanks for alerting me that the next Hinder Stars book finally got published, I want to check it out. While I find most of Cherryh's work from this century tedious, and the one solo Fancher book I've read was worse, I was pleasantly surprised by Alliance Rising.
