The Ark by Patrick S. Tomlinson
4.0
The mystery SF mix was a satisfying blend. I loved that it was set on a cleverly designed generation ship with loads of worldbuilding details incorporated naturally into the story. The sports hero angle was in the description but I was pleasantly surprised by turns into art, cuisine, and other areas. It made the more usual police, politics, and labs seem more interesting too.
It’s a fast paced read and has quite a few compelling characters. There were a few too many, um, “dude” descriptions of women/sex for me to not eye roll it a couple of times, but it wasn’t like they were particularly offensive or even out of place. So, there you go.
Cool SF. Solid mystery and thrills with satisfying surprises. I recommend it.
