Ren Hutchings' Under Fortunate Stars
This was a fun sci-fi story about two spaceships that encounter each other after losing power in a weird area of outer space—one is a corporate ship that does science stuff, the other is a ramshackle ship with a ragtag crew… except that ramshackle ship and its crew are famous for having brought peace to the galaxy a hundred and fifty years earlier. But … things aren’t quite lining up with the official version of history. It’s pretty obvious how this is going to play out, but the journey there is mostly entertaining. There are a lot of flashbacks, some more effective than others, and a late romance that I wasn’t at all invested in. Otherwise I did enjoy this. B+.
