Bon jeu! J'ai écrit un petit récension sur intfiction.org.
- Meurtre dans la Station Spatiale by MaximeJr
In the not too distant future, a biotechnologically enhanced judicial registrar puts the protagonist, a newly appointed detective, tot the test by asking his opinion about a notable case in the early beginnings of spatial jurisdiction. While on the ride up to the space station in a space elevator (!coolest thing ever!). Better than softly droning musak, if I may say so…
Through his implants, the registrar can provide all reports in evidence in the case. Careful, meticulous combing through these documents is necessary to form an opinion. In the end, inform the registrar of your judgment.
I liked this. A but dry, but that’s true to the subject matter. Thought-provoking too, with different national space agencies involved, raising questions about jurisdiction in space, power struggles and conflicting interests in space.
A straight-up murder mystery … in space.
