When someone says that a book in a series is standalone, it's not. It never is and never will be. I've fallen for that too many times. Never again. Sorry.
Oh, Jon, Jon! Five years on and the memory is evergreen, at least for me.

#17.6 in the In Death series! I've never fully recovered from the shock.

Kidding aside, there's no reason not to let the voting resolve any issues, if issues there be. Don't vote for it if you don't want to read it. I'm going to have a tough time this month since SF isn't my genre, to put it mildly. I'm more likely to read something with real people in a recognizable world than I am the type of book with little green men with antennae.
