How is it already Wednesday? How is it only Wednesday?

Read: Dead Star (Simon Kewin): Our heroes try to uncover the mystery behind the galactic theocracy that has carefully destroyed all previous history and is probably destroying everything. Many ancient alien artifacts are involved, as well as severe trauma, subterfuge and paranoia, and a poor understanding of gravity assist maneuvers.

Read: The Witness for the Dead (Katherine Addison): Semi-sequel to The Goblin Emperor, following the Witness for the Dead (priest/undertaker/detective) as he goes about his business far away from the imperial court and yet still gets mixed up in multiple murder mysteries.

Words: check.
