Station Eternity by Mur Lafferty is the first in the Midsolar Murders series, and is out this week!Amanda and I both really liked Station Eternity, so we were very excited to ask a bunch of questions!We talk about the absence of grief in the aftermath of murder in some mystery series, how aliens in Lafferty’s world perceive humans (spoiler: wet) and how a sentient ship is both creepy and comforting.Worry not, this is a spoiler-free conversation, and I hope it makes you curious about this book, too.So. Would you want to be kidnapped or escorted off the planet by aliens?…Music: purple-planet.com Join our Patreon for complete mayhem, shenanigans, and more! Hosted on Acast.
