The Luminous Dead
Date: 2020-07-25 08:16 pm (UTC)Media: A stand-alone sci-fi book with a f/f ending
Length: ~400 pages, or 14 hours in audiobook
Access: Your local library or wherever (e)books near you are sold. The audiobook version was also good.
What is it, in summary?
Gyre knows caving - or, well, she knows pseudo-caves. But what's a little resume lying when this job pays so well? If she's ever going to escape this planet, track down her mother, and find somewhere green, Gyre needs this money. The funding is absolutely there: The self-contained environmental suit she's given is top of the line. Even if it is unsettling to think about going weeks without touching her own skin, and eating through a tube in her abdomen.
Sure, it's not the best sign that her support team consists of one person, Em. And it's definitely not a … good sign that Em is resistant to speaking to her, is hiding information (and bodies), and is willing to use that top of the line suit to drug Gyre without warning because "it was in the contract." It's quickly apparent that this isn't a mining company looking for minerals. Em has her own obsession, and cavers' contracts have death clauses.
Can Gyre trust Em? Absolutely not. Is she going to turn back for the surface? It's complicated. And… is someone following Gyre? No. That has to be impossible. The only other things down here are hallucinogenic fungi and giant Tunneler worm monsters. Not ghosts. Not people. Right?
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?
Caves!! Caving peril would be a lot of fun. I love caving adventures, and complicated, messy ships. It feels like this book was laser targeted to me specifically. This canon is also great for hurt/comfort, and loyalty and competence kink. And I'll be leaving prompts for both good and dark endings. I'll be requesting both art and fic.
Warnings
Gyre lives, but has a rough time of it. We also learn about previous and much less successful expeditions. General warnings for: Non-consensual drugging, hallucinations, injury, abdomen injury (Gyre's suit features a feeding tube which at one point becomes partially and painfully dislodged), limb loss, death, and dead bodies.
