Acerca de esta escucha

Amateur detective Mallory Viridian’s talent for solving murders ruined her life on Earth and drove her to live on an alien space station, but her problems still follow her in this witty, self-aware novel that puts a speculative spin on murder mysteries, from the Hugo-nominated author of Six Wakes.

From idyllic small towns to claustrophobic urban landscapes, Mallory Viridian is constantly embroiled in murder cases that only she has the insight to solve. But outside of a classic mystery novel, being surrounded by death doesn’t make you a charming amateur detective, it makes you a suspect and a social pariah. So when Mallory gets the opportunity to take refuge on a sentient space station, she thinks she has the solution. Surely the murders will stop if her only company is alien beings. At first her new existence is peacefully quiet…and markedly devoid of homicide.

But when the station agrees to allow additional human guests, Mallory knows the break from her peculiar reality is over. After the first Earth shuttle arrives, and aliens and humans alike begin to die, the station is thrown into peril. Stuck smack-dab in the middle of an extraterrestrial whodunit, and wondering how in the world this keeps happening to her anyway, Mallory has to solve the crime—and fast—or the list of victims could grow to include everyone on board….

Reseñas de la Crítica

“What a glorious romp. Murder, sentient space stations, and banter. It had everything I wanted.” (Mary Robinette Kowal, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of The Calculating Stars)

“A science fiction mystery has to nail both the science fiction and the mystery, and this book passes both tests with flying colors. As bingeable and satisfying as your favorite murder show. I couldn't put it down.” (Sarah Pinsker, Nebula Award-winning author of A Song For A New Day and We Are Satellites)

“Lafferty's characters stomp off the page, kicking ass and taking names as they do. If Jessica Fletcher ended up on Babylon Five, you still wouldn't get anywhere close to this deft, complicated, fast-moving book. Station Eternity kept me up way too late turning pages.” (T. Kingfisher, Hugo and Nebula Award-Winning author of Paladin's Grace and Nettle & Bone)

Don't regret listening to it, should have read it.

The story is interesting, I enjoyed the many different points of view and flashbacks which gave the book a lot of textures and plot points all running to the finish line together. I wish there was a little more in way of the mystery trope but I didn't see the ending coming which is fun for me since I read a lot and tend to guess (often not correctly) the ending in a book. I think there's a lot for the series to grow into. Unfortunately the narration for this main character was distracting and breathy. I don't think I could be friends with the main character if she indeed sounded like that all the time, a bit too damsel in distress for me. Fun and worth listening to if you are busy doing chores or walking dogs though!

Annoying intonation

I like the story but have stopped listening because the narration is not my cup of tea. The narrator’s voice is whiny and their intonation of at least half of the sentences is identical, which makes it sound robotic. I couldn’t focus on the plot because the voice was too distracting.

So Good!

This was my first time reading Mur Lafferty and I'm now a big fan. Interesting and complex characters, nice pace, sweet plot revelations, and my favorite theme - interspeceies relations! Also love that while love was a theme, it was not a "love story".

Murder in space among aliens

Mur Lafferty's Station Eternity is a murder mystery set mainly on an alien space station. The main character, Mallory has a skill for solving murders which is convenient because they seem to always occur around her. She has managed to wrangle her way onto an alien space station to get away from Earth. There are only two other humans on the station, an Earth ambassador and another human receiving sanctuary. The whole background is related through a series of disjointed flashbacks that change the interpretation of subsequent actions. Humans seems unique among intelligent life as the only species without an accompanying symbiont. All hell breaks loose when a shuttle from Earth with many humans suffers an attack at the same time the station's AI symbiont is murdered.

While the premise is interesting, the frequent flashbacks hop around extensively with each vignette twisting the interpretation of previous flashbacks. There's some worn out cliches with the US military developing a weapon against all aliens. At the same time, the aliens are just bizarre with familial issues like any dysfunctional Earth family. The long setup to arrange the passenger manifest on the shuttle has the feel of a Hollywood murder mystery where the station is like a castle on a dark and stormy night.

The narration is well done, although the aliens don't seem alien relative to the humans. Pacing is uneven due to the frequent and sudden flashbacks.

Sherlock in Space

A murder mysteries in space - aliens included. This book was fun, interesting and satisfying. There are lots of flashbacks. All of the characters are broken in some way. I look forward to book two.

Very inventive and enjoyable sci-fi series!

I really enjoyed this book. So much science fiction is humans with headpieces on so they are filmable. Many of the characters in this book just could not be done that way and it made it that much better. The aliens were truly alien. The entire concept was great. I had six wakes in my queue for a while and stumbled across someone raving about this book so I jumped it ahead, now I have also read the sequel and they were some of the best credits I have ever spent on here!

Love the action! Love the drama!

I absolutely loved this story. I’m devastated that the series isn’t longer already. I love all the alien personalities and I’m obsessed with Tina. All the small and large mysteries are great fun and I just want more time to hang out on the space station.

Great mystery!

I loved the complexity of this book! The beginning was a bit slow but I am so glad that I waited for the action!! This was a different way of looking at a mystery and I was hooked! I am definitely reading the next book in this series! Excellent writing!! I highly recommend!

An interesting take on the entire genre

Have you ever wondered, when reading a typical "cozy mystery" series (or watching "Murder, She Wrote") - how many murders is this person going to be in the middle of, or encounter, before people just start staying away from them completely? When it seems that every few months someone around you is getting killed, or you're discovering a body, I would think that people would stop hanging around you - and imagine the toll on your own mental health.

THAT is essentially the premise for Mur Lafferty's Station Eternity series. Mallory Viridian is a woman who solves murders - and is always around them, connected with them somehow. Unlike the rest of the genre, where nobody seems to think anything is odd about this at all, people start to wonder about Mallory - and start to stay away from her. Mallory wonders about herself as well, and eventually manages to head off into space - where there are no people (no humans, anyway) to get killed around her. Until there are ....

If you are a fan of Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently series, you'll enjoy this book and it's rather trippy take on murder mystery tropes. And as in a good Dirk Gently book, you will have to pay REALLY close attention if you want to solve the mystery before Mallory does. That said, this isn't a cozy mystery read - it took me a while, and I put it down several times and read something else to take a break. But Station Eternity pulls you back in every time, and it is worth the effort to really read it and enjoy it.
