@cwm @cassolotl Do you have an idea of what you're looking for in a read right now?

TBP - Political thriller sci fi, has some explicit violence derived from real past events. This book MADE me read it til.it was finished. Is part of a trilogy.

SC- is a bit like a john carpenter film, lots of maximum 80s sci tropes (but fairly self aware-ly approached). There are some unpleasant relationship ideas in it that I didn't clock until the second read. Vast, and great concepts
