Beschreibung
A “ridiculously fun” series debut “with a well-thought-out space opera setting and lots of fancy reveals”—from a Hugo Award winner (Charlie Jane Anders, author of All the Birds in the Sky).
A ragtag space crew discovers alien technology that could change the fate of humanity—or awaken an ancient evil that could destroy all life in the galaxy.
The shady crew of the White Raven run freight and salvage at the fringes of our solar system. They discover the wreck of a centuries-old exploration vessel floating light years away from its intended destination and revive its sole occupant, who wakes with news of First Alien Contact. When the crew informs her that humanity has alien allies already, she reveals that these are very different extra-terrestrials—and the gifts they bestowed on her could kill all humanity, or take it out to the most distant stars.

The captain of the "ragtag crew of humans and posthumans" starts this novel by being very proud about not actively staring at the breasts of the displaced, traumatised survivor of a wreck, who has just been rescued. It's fine though, because said survivor also immediately noticed how the captain looks great. What follows is a fairly standard space opera script, in which a big bad evil will eventually have to be defeated ... i guess. And the evil is very non-ambiguously evil. Anyway, the above scene wasn't actually what annoyed me most about this book: the characters are so fucking profoundly uncurious that it's painful. No one asks ANY of the interesting questions, which leads to very mediocre world-building and a simmering annoyance with loads of the interactions early on. Characters are also *really* good at assuming things with zero of the background info they never asked about. Anyway, do not reccommend for being uncurious, trite and icky.
