An OK scifi thriller. Nothing amazing, nothing completely deal breaking. A lot of reminiscing about the past and complaining about the present, but somehow without an emotional connection one would expect from hearing a protagonist suffering. Almost all of the action happens in the last 20% of the book, the previous portion is a slow burn investigation that doesn't uncover much that isn't already obvious from the get-go.

Excellent space murder mystery with a queer disabled protagonist. AI shenanigans, corporate espionage, as well as general fuckery ensue. Pretty good read, and the audiobook is good as well

Feels very Murderbot-esque (in the best way!). Loved it.
