Fritz Leiber "Gather, Darkness!" (1950)
Really, really fantastic.
Finished "Red Planet Blues" by Robert J. Sawyer (2013), very nice also.
It was at first (its firsts 10 chapters) a novel called "Identity Theft", that as the publisher mentions on the back-ending greetings, won the UPC spanish prize of "Ciencia Ficción", which also is the more rich into the sci-fi, within its 6000 euros.
A provisional title would have been "The Great Martian Fossil Rush", then changed as for the editor's choices/suggestions.
There is a part onto the 3/4 where the scene is accompanied by mentioning this song:
Now reading "You Sexy Thing" by Cat Rambo (2021), which starts on a kitchen/cooking behaviour, and has a reminder of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Seems also a nice, well written reading.
Ps: sorry again, instead of quoting I did edited the last messages, deleting a part thought.
Omg
