181. The Quantum Garden, Derek Kunsken


Sequel to The Quantum Magician, which is all about a heist.

Physics warning: consciousness is treated as both a fully physical process arising in complex systems and also a special superposition collapse inducer.

Suffers from middle book syndrome: you are expected to know who all these people are and how they are related to each other and what happened in book one, and an awful lot of stuff happens, but the whole book can be summarized in one paragraph in a history book.

As read as part of the sequence, though, I think it's quite good.

182. Shout of Honor, Sharon Lee and Steven Miller

Set deep in the Liaden universe, a story about characters who we'll probably never see again -- but will make a big difference in the main plot.

Liaden: 24 novels and counting, none of them interchangeable episodes. Not to everyone's taste, but it is to mine.
