I know I’ve asked y’all for a lot of recommendations and I have a mountain of books to get through in my room as well as a stack of like 30 books in my hallway to get through immediately (currently reading Revelation from Star Wars legends series).
As a fan of sci-fi and murder mystery/cop drama has anyone ever read a book that combines the two? I read A Scanner Darkly last year which is set in the future but any cop stories or detective stories that take place in a space colony or far future as well? Thanks.
I'm sure there's some cyberpunk-type books that merge the sci-fi and detective genres. I can't think of any specifics though.
I also read that book that William Shatner had ghostwritten for him to slap his name on years ago: Tek War, or something like that. I don't necessarily recommend it because I read it when I was much younger but I seem to recall part of the story was unraveling who killed his wife and using cyber implant technology to do it.
I have some Tekwar books but haven’t read any yet. I also have an anthology series called “Sideways in Time” and every story is a mystery that takes place in a parallel earth. I’ll check out cyberpunk stuff to see. I really haven’t read much but I’m sure I’d enjoy that genre along with steampunk.
Shadowrun is my favorite tabletop setting, and I know there is a whole line of pulpy novels out there. Many of them are probably mysteries.
Thanks, will check it out.
