Carrie Vaughn’s latest Young Adult novel is set in near-future society that has been devastated by disease and super-storms. Enid, a young investigator, is brought to a rural town to investigate the death of a handy man named Sero. The community has a lot of secrets that Enid slowly unravels. I’ve enjoyed Carrie Vaughn’s work, especially Martians Abroad (you can read my review here). If you’re in the mood for a clever SF mystery, give Bannerless a try. GRADE: B+
Maybe I’ll give it a go. The library has it. Never was interested in her writings. She wrote all those Kitty books which I avoided like the plague.
Saw Blade Runner 2049. My favorite movie this year. If Roger Deakins does not win a Oscar for his cinematography there is no justice-he has been nominated 13 times w/o a win.
Steve, BLADE RUNNER 2049 is at the top of my SEE REAL SOON list. If it’s your favorite movie of 2017, that’s high praise!
George, I look to you every year to find a Christmas Gift for my niece, and so far ahe’s loved all your recommendations.
Dan, I liked Carrie Vaughn’s MARTIANS ABROAD more than BANNERLESS. But the strong female characters should appeal to your niece.
I liked MARTIANS ABROAD so may try this one too.
Jeff, I’m hoping Carrie Vaughn writes a sequel to MARTIANS ABROAD.
OK, the library had two ebook copies available so I downloaded one to the Kindle. I can read it on the road.
Jeff, BANNERLESS is a quick read. I’ll bet you solve the crime in a jiffy!
the road?
Rick, I think Jeff is referring to the road to the BOUCHERCON in Toronto.
Right, we’re driving to Toronto, Rick. We leave Sunday morning. We’ll be in Toronto Tuesday through Sunday.
Rick, Diane and I will drive to Toronto on Wednesday and depart on Sunday.
I hope you all have fun! I’m jealous. Sob. Pout. Sigh.
Rick, we’re looking forward to seeing Maggie, Bill, Jeff & Jackie, Patti and Phil, and Thom. And, I’m looking forward to lots of FREE BOOKS!
Wish eveybody a lot of fun and action at Bouchercon!
Haven’t been to a con for a long time – in Germany these are usually “Sercons” i e serious conventions with a lot of important talks, not so much fun …
So I stopped going there a long time ago, don’t even know if we still have them …
Wolf, I rarely go to cons anymore, but I make an exception for BOUCHERCON. Plus, Toronto is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Buffalo!
