A Song for Rust-City | Simina Lungu

Pickpick

Simina Lungu has crafted a distant-future sci-fi noir set on Earth at a time when humanity has colonized other planets and aliens have made contact. The story starts with a missing celebrity singer. As the team of investigators delve into her disappearance, it quickly unravels a conspiracy involving a well-known alien and the city‘s most powerful citizens, who are determined to push humanity towards a carefully constructed future. (1/2)

BillBlume The team is targeted by enemies within and without, and it doesn‘t take long before they‘re the ones on the run. It‘s an intricately, well-woven adventure. As always, narrator Amber McCulloch delivers a phenomenal performance with a large cast of characters. I think this story is perfect for anyone who enjoys “Bladerunner” and the political debate over mutantkind in “X-Men.” (2/2) (edited) 4d
