Dead Endless by Dave Galanter

4.0

I was looking forward to this book so much and it did not disappoint. It's been a while since I read a book in less than a day.

I felt at home right away with Paul and Hugh, their characterization familiar and well done. The emotions coming from the pages were deep and moving.

It read in most parts like a fanfic and mean that as the HIGHEST compliment.

I would have liked some more quiet time between them, unsupervised and intimate. I even felt like the overall story of the rescue mission, the new aliens and Captain Burnham took a bit too much time away from the main focus of Hugh and Paul near the end where Paul was suddenly missing from the story for at least two chapters.

This would have been a book where I'd liked some more chapters after the climax of the side story, but the call of other!Stamets to other!Culber was still well done. I wonder what that Culber's reaction would be once Paul comes out with the reason for the call at some point.

Definitely one of my favourites among the Discovery novels.
