Je viens de finir #InTheShadowOfTheShip, le dernier roman court de @aliettedb
Ça parle d'un habitat spatial sentient qui protège (dans le confort) ses passagers d'un monde ravagé par la guerre au prix du sacrifice de leurs enfants. Mais en vrai ça parle de famille abusive, de consentement volé, de se reconstruire grâce à de nouvelles relations saines.

Le premier roman de @aliettedb est enfin réédité en Français !

#ServiteurDesEnfers est à la fois une enquête et la plongée dans un univers de fantaisie Aztèque où les sacrifices de sang ont des effets magiques palpables et où les dieux eux aussi sont mortels.

Vivement que ses romans plus récents (dans l'univers de #Xuya) soient eux aussi édités en français #Mnemos

A quick run through the 11 books I read in March: https://delta-pavonis.blogspot.com/2024/04/books-in-march-2024.html

Two great SF novels this month; ‘A Fire Born of Exile’ by @aliettedb (beautifully written) and ‘Machine Vendetta’ by Alastair Reynolds (cleverly draws together elements of the previous two books to a finale).

#xuya #revelationspace

I also enjoyed the two Emily St.John Mandel novels I read, one of which was soft-SF. Finally, Kevin Wignall's ‘The First Death of Winter’ was a modern take on Agatha Christie.

17. Un média que vous souhaitez plagier. Avec quel système ?

Je veux prendre l'univers #Xuya de @aliettedb (empire spatial vietnamien et vaisseaux spatiaux conscients ayant des liens familiaux avec les humains) et avoir des enquêtes judiciaires tout en maintenant l'équilibre d'une société confucianiste ; dans l'espace. Bien sûr avec le système #MagistratsEtManigances de Benjamin Macbeth Kouppi et @Rdhuissier qui fait déjà tout ça, mais dans la Chine de la dynastie Tang.

17. A piece of media you want to plagiarize. What system would you use for it?

I want to take @aliettedb's #Xuya universe (Vietnamese space empire and sentient spaceships with family ties to humans) and have murder mysteries tied to Confucianist societal issues ; in space. Of course with Benjamin Macbeth Kouppi and @Rdhuissier 's #MagistratsEtManigances system that does all that out of the box but in historical Tang dynasty China.
