James Patrick Kelly recommends
The First Bright Thing (2023)
J R Dawson
"J.R. Dawson bids you step under the Big Top to witness one of the most fantastic circuses in genre history. The time-travelling stars of this show band together to form a unique family with Rin, the Ringmaster, at center stage in this vividly imagined world. The First Bright Thing shines!"
Station Eternity (2022)
(Midsolar Murders, book 1)
Mur Lafferty
"Mur Lafferty proves once again that she has the rare talent to blend and bend the sister genres of mystery and science fiction. She gathers her cast of characters, both humans and exuberantly-imagined aliens, onto a sentient space station whose identity problems may cause the deaths of all aboard. Meet resourceful and mordant sleuth Mallory, already cursed with being a serial witness to murder, who's in a race to solve the mystery of Station Eternity and avert an interstellar fiasco. Smart and sassy, here's the book that will blast you to orbit."
