Random quote: "A lot of the people who read a bestselling novel, for example, do not read much other fiction. By contrast, the audience for an obscure novel is largely composed of people who read a lot. That means the least popular books are judged by people who have the highest standards, while the most popular are judged by people who literally do not know any better. " -- The Economist

Hi Naomi,

For Quantum (Captain Chase #1) by Patricia Cornwell, have you read it yet? Can you confirm the Sci-Fi elements?
The synopses I've read aren't clear. They make it sound like an Espionage/Techno-Thriller.


I haven't read it yet, though it is in my priority to-read list thanks to Amazon First Reads. :-)

I've had another look at the synopsis for it and I think you may be right - it may not be sci-fi enough to count as actual sci-fi, but at the same time I'd say it's at least as sci-fi as (for example) Gibson's Blue Ant trilogy, which I notice is in the database.

If you don't think it belongs in the WWE database that's your call and I won't argue - I accept it's one of those grey area situations.

Thanks

Naomi

It's on my list to add; to me, anything about a "top-secret space mission by NASA" is science fiction. If Slinkyboy doesn't add it, I'll try to get to it in the next few days along with a few others which are on my to-do list.

Having said that, while the synopsis sounds as though the book is right in my wheelhouse, the 2.94 average of 741 ratings on GoodReads is, sadly, not encouraging.

Set 2 all in EXCEPT Death Goddess Dance. It's book 3, and none of them are in, nor is the author, who is a psudonom for James Tuck, who also isn't in. I've run out of time to add two authors and three books right now as I have to leave for work.

Hi,
can you please add Primeval and Other Times by Olga Tokarczuk?

And maybe her Flights as well? I haven't read this one yet, so I can't confirm how speculative it is, but Isfdb has it, so probably?
Thank you!
