Murder, sentient space stations and humor. Everything I needed was here.” – Mary Robinette Kowal “A sci-fi mystery must combine both fantasy and mystery. This book passed both tests with flying colors. It's as entertaining and enjoyable as your favorite murder mystery series." —Sarah Pinsker, Nebula Award winner “Lafferty’s characters burst off the pages, smacking you and forcing you to remember their names. If Jessica Fletcher had been on Babylon 5, it still wouldn't have been anywhere near this deft, complex, and fast-paced book. “Station Eternity” didn’t let me sleep.” – T. Kingfisher, Hugo and Nebula Award winner “A very enjoyable read with great character development, interesting aliens, and a gripping plot.” – Buzzfeed “Mer Lafferty has transformed herself into the Agatha Christie of science fiction, masterfully commanding the ensemble cast and deftly writing the characters.
