Finished Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman, book 2 of Dungeon Crawler Carl.

spoiler for book 2I thought Bea will show up in the second book, though it looks like she is actually dead now. Carl has a point if she was still alive some show will have found her by now.

It looks like they are going to do something in future books and split up Carl and Donut. Not a fan of this in most books, so let's see how it goes.

Started Sword of Destiny by Andrzej Sapkowski. Book 2 of The Witcher series. This is the second short story collection, after which comes the 5 book novel series. I read the series quite a while ago, but never finished all the novels, so re-reading the earlier books to finally complete the series.

What about all of you? What have you all been reading or listening to lately?

In my opinion Andy Weir isn't that hard sci-fi, which is ok because I don't like hard sci-fi that much. Most people here seem to agree that the Bobiverse series by Dennis E Taylor is similar in tone and maybe even settings.

Thank you for your recommendations! What would you consider hard sci-fi?

[-] zout@fedia.io 2 points 1 day ago

For me hard sci-fi are writers like Adrian Tchaikovsky or Ken MacLeod. Lot's of people love the "Children of time" series by Tchaikovsky, but when reading the first book it was too much world building too little story for me. On the other hand, I did like his book "Service Model".

Plus one for the Bob, fun series, and good science, but with a casual tone for sure.
