If you're in the mood for an early-Pratchett-style, somewhat goofy comedic fantasy that's heavy on the laughs and light on depth, then Chasing the Moon by A. Lee Martinez is a great choice.

This novel pulls off something extraordinary: it is written in the style of a 19th century novel, but set in the 22nd century, AND somehow manages to deal with issues that are relevant today.

...while it's not perfect, Debris is a strong, exciting debut that took me by surprise with its unique setting, interesting main character, and powerful "fight your way back to the top" narrative.

It has fascinating, well-rounded characters who will remain with you for a long time. It has gorgeous, understated prose.

The Clockwork Rocket is probably the hardest hard science fiction novel I've ever read, but it also has a surprising amount of heart.

I wanted to love it, because its concept is so damn cool, but in the end I had to admit that it simply didn't work for me.

It's rare when a book is more or less exactly what you hoped it would be, but Planesrunner is just that. I had a blast with this novel...

Despite running along well-established patterns, this is another enjoyable novel by one of the genre's most reliable and prolific authors.
