Space Opera Fans discussion

This thread is for nominations for READER category for December 2023.

READER books need to be
* currently in print in either hardback or paperback (or both). Requiring a special order from a store or website counts, but not if the book is only available used.
* currently available in multiple ebook formats, from multiple vendors
* Space Opera, which means a spaceship has to be involved in the story somewhere.
* If it is part of a series, it needs to be suitable to being read without having read other books in the series.
* Please no blatantly erotic books, as some of our members are not full adults yet.

RULES:
* you may nominate one book on this thread.
* you may second as many nominations as you like on this thread.
* it is okay to nominate the same book on more than one nomination thread, as long as it meets the criteria
* books we already have on our bookshelf will be disqualified if they were added less than two years ago
* If a book you nominate or second is selected, you are expected to post at least one comment about it on the thread about the book.
* On the 22nd I will draw a book randomly, with each second being one raffle ticket for the book. That is, a book with three seconds (so four of us want it) will get three chances in the pool.

It is likely helpful if you know something about a book that has been nominated if you mention it in this thread, whether it is for or against the book.

Still no nominations? Would anyone like to nominate the latest Murderbot book? Or should I nominate the sequel to Trading in Danger?

I'll nominate System Collapse which is #7 in the Murderbot Diaries. I'm already reading it, but it's slower getting started than I expected.

I second System Collapse

Nominations will close on the 22nd. Unless some other book is nominated and seconded, our December pick will be System Collapse by Martha Wells.

I’ll second System Collapse as well.

Nominations are now closed. Our pick is System Collapse.
