Station Eternity

Finalist of the Manly Wade Wellman Award. Goodreads Finalist. From peaceful small villages to claustrophobic urban landscapes — wherever Mallory Viridian finds herself, she inevitably gets embroiled in murder cases that only she can solve. But remaining a charming amateur detective, with death trailing behind, is only possible on the pages of a classic detective novel; in reality, you become a permanent suspect and social outcast. Therefore, when Mallory has the opportunity to hide on a reasonable space station, she grabs this chance. The murders will stop if her only company consists of alien beings. And at first, it is so — a calm atmosphere and no murders. But when the station decides to invite a new delegation of Earthlings, Mallory realizes that her period of peace in this unusual life has come to an end. Immediately after the arrival of the first Earth shuttle, the station finds itself in danger, as both aliens and humans begin to perish. Finding herself in the center of an extraterrestrial investigation and wondering why this is happening to her again, Mallory must solve the crime as quickly as possible, or the list of victims will soon include everyone on board… “A wonderful novel.

Kingfisher, Hugo and Nebula Award winner “Very captivating reading with...
