2023 book 176

 Rachel Neumeier’s Invictus: Captive

This is the kind of sci-fi book that is my JAM. It involves a guy from one group of people being rescued from a big space accident by a group of people that aren’t exactly his enemies, but there is a tense political situation. Except everyone has ulterior motives (this is clear to the reader and the information is doled out at a good pace), so there’s almost a spy games sort of feeling to things. Neumeier is doing one of my favorite things she does here, where there’s a sort of cross-cultural clash, but everyone is trying to make things better. This is the first of a duology and the sequel is out next month, and I am very excited to see where this story goes next. A.
