Finder is a science fiction novel by Suzanne Palmer.
From Hugo Award-winning debut author Suzanne Palmer comes an action-packed sci-fi caper starring Fergus Ferguson, interstellar repo man and professional finder.
Fergus Ferguson has been called a lot of names: thief, con artist, repo man. He prefers the term finder.
His latest job should be simple. Find the spacecraft Venetia's Sword and steal it back from Arum Gilger, ex-nobleman turned power-hungry trade boss. He'll slip in, decode the ship's compromised AI security, and get out of town, Sword in hand.
Fergus locates both Gilger and the ship in the farthest corner of human-inhabited space, a gas-giant-harvesting colony called Cernee. But Fergus' arrival at the colony is anything but simple. A cable car explosion launches Cernee into civil war, and Fergus must ally with Gilger's enemies to navigate a field of space mines and a small army of hostile mercenaries. What was supposed to be a routine job evolves into negotiating a power struggle between factions. Even worse, Fergus has become increasingly--and inconveniently--invested in the lives of the locals.
It doesn't help that a dangerous alien species thought mythical prove unsettlingly real, and their ominous triangle ships keep following Fergus around.
Foolhardy. Eccentric. Reckless. Whatever he's called, Fergus will need all the help he can get to take back the Sword and maybe save Cernee from destruction in the process.
I absolutely adored Next Year in Havana and am super excited to share information about the follow-up book, When We Left Cuba, out today! The cover is beautiful. I will have a review later this week, but in the mean time, enjoy the cover and the blurb :)
In 1960s Florida, a young Cuban
exile will risk her life–and heart–to take back her country in this
exhilarating historical novel from the author of Next Year in Havana, a
Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick.
Beautiful. Daring. Deadly.
The Cuban Revolution took everything from sugar
heiress Beatriz Perez–her family, her people, her country. Recruited by the
CIA to infiltrate Fidel Castro’s inner circle and pulled into the dangerous
world of espionage, Beatriz is consumed by her quest for revenge and her desire
to reclaim the life she lost.
As the Cold War swells like a hurricane over the
shores of the Florida Strait, Beatriz is caught between the clash of Cuban
American politics and the perils of a forbidden affair with a powerful man
driven by ambitions of his own. When the ever-changing tides of history
threaten everything she has fought for, she must make a choice between her past
and future–but the wrong move could cost Beatriz everything–not just the
island she loves, but also the man who has stolen her heart…

I skipped posting an update last weekend because I finally managed to spend some time down at the beach. 💙🌴🍹☀️🌊 The weather was wonderful on Saturday. On Sunday it turned really cold and rainy. I was just as happy to stay inside and read, though! Today's update is going to look extra heavy because I'm including the week before as well.
