Century Rain Alastair Reynolds
I read it based on the strength of Revelation Space novel. I think there was some interview with the author that I read where he mentioned this is one of his favorite pieces. The fact that it is a standalone book really sold me so I was excited to try it out! It did not disappoint, very cool premise and book. I LOVE the mixture of the noir hard-boiled old-timey detective and a futuristic human society. The love story is CLASSIC pulp fiction. It just hits and is so goofy and adorable. Truly enjoyed it. Def worth hitting it again at a uture point.
