The Earth Concurrence by Julia Huni

 

I was privileged to read this one just before its official publication, I think it is the best of her stories yet, and that is saying quite a bit!

Julia has several series going, and it was the Space Janitor collection that I discovered first. Those are funny, intriguing, and enjoyable: cozy mysteries in space, with a spunky young woman as heroine. 

The Earth Concurrence appears at first to be more of the same, situated in the same time and space, with a spunky young woman in the leading role. Like Triana, the nominal Space Janitor, Siti comes from a privileged background, and like Triana, she has only one parent.  But this story is more serious and more thoughtful. Of course, there are interesting characters and goofy situations, and some adventurous action.

This is the first part of a series, too, and I can hardly wait for more.

2020 Seven years since my last book post! I can't catch up on all I've read!

 Obviously, I read a lot, all the time; I just gave up writing book reviews. But Marg from my book club suggested we tell others what we have been reading, and I also was asked to write online reviews for authors I know. So, I will try to catch up on some of my most recent discoveries.

Expect to see reviews soon of The Testaments by Margaret Atwood (Audible), Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese (Audible), Driftwood by Tony Head (ebook), various books by Julia Huni (science fiction cosy mysteries and adventures, ebooks). A giant volume of Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea books, more mysteries, including Louise Penny's Inspector Gamache series.
