MORE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH FALSIFICATION:  There’s a old joke about looking for your lost keys in the dark near the lamppost because that’s where the light is. In this case it seems that BioNtech deliberately sabotaged one lamp so regulators would look under the other one and, amazingly, find nothing. Now if you shine a spotlight near the sabotaged lamppost all kinds of interesting things appear:  Layman’s description of RNA:DNA hybrids. An intentional game of “Hide the Ball”.

TLDR: ECONOMIC MODELS ARE TRASH AND PEOPLE THAT THINK THEY CAN USE THEM TO CONTROL AN ECONOMY ARE DELUSIONAL:  Rolling the Economic Dice.

When Lilly Gilden discovers a cyborg in her airlock, she should turn him in for immediate destruction—harboring any cyborg means death, no exceptions. These abominations are born from violent, illegal brain extraction, forbidden across all human colonies. But this tortured soul believes he’s Nick Rhodes, a legendary detective from the 20th century, and his fractured mind may hold the key to finding her missing husband.

The penalty for harboring him is execution, but Lilly is desperate. Her husband vanished while investigating a case that leads straight into the galaxy’s most dangerous criminal networks. With time running out and nowhere else to turn, she makes a fateful choice: trust the half-mad detective trapped in synthetic flesh.

Joined by a mysterious journalist with secrets of his own, Lilly plunges into the shadow world of interstellar crime syndicates, corrupt officials, and deadly conspiracies. As the cyborg’s detective instincts clash with his deteriorating programming, Lilly must navigate a web of lies and violence where one wrong move could cost her everything.

In a universe where love is the ultimate liability, how far will she go to bring him home?

A pulse-pounding sci-fi thriller that blends classic detective with high-stakes space adventure—perfect for fans of cyberpunk mysteries, noir whodunits and interstellar romance.

THE VERY DELAYED CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE SHORT STORY:  A Light in Time.

HEY, DID YOU MANAGE TO MISS? From Sarah A. Hoyt:  No Man’s Land: Volume 1 (Chronicles of Lost Elly).

Sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic.

On a lost colony world, mad geneticists thought they could eliminate inequality by making everyone hermaphrodite. They were wrong. Catastrophically wrong.
Now technology indistinguishable from magic courses through the veins of the inhabitants, making their barbaric civilization survivable—and Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Kayel Hayden, Viscount Webson, Envoy of the Star Empire—Skip to his friends— has just crash-landed through a time-space rift into the middle of it all.
Dodging assassins and plummeting from high windows was just the beginning. With a desperate king and an archmagician as his only allies, Scipio must outrun death itself while battling beasts, traitors, and infiltrators bent on finishing what the founders started: total destruction.
Two worlds. One chance. No time to lose.

In case you’re worried it’s that kind of book, it’s not that kind of book.   Meaning that yes, “that seventies cover” is intentional, because when I was discussing it with the “sanity check” (well, as much as any) fans they said the problem was nothing much like this had been published since the early nineties, and most wild space opera was published in the seventies. So… it got that seventies (early eighties, maybe) cover, with bling and all.

Still worried?  Have some K-Pop!
