    Note: Reviews are listed alphabetically by author’s last name. Livesuit James S.A. Corey (The Captive’s War novella) While the first full-length novel in this new series was well-written and had a fascinating premise, none of the point-of-view characters particularly grabbed me.

    Note: Reviews are listed alphabetically by author’s last name.

    When I posted my schedule for this event last week, I was shocked to realize that it had been five years since I last attended Capclave in person, between conflicting commitments and other “unprecedented events.” Since I live between Baltimore and Washington DC, I consider this con my other “home” convention, and I was delighted…
