Summary
The colony ship Ragtime docks in the Lagos system， having traveled light-years from home to bring thousands of sleeping souls to safety among the stars。
Some of the sleepers， however， will never wake - and a profound and sinister mystery unfolds aboard the gigantic vessel as its skeleton crew make decisions that will have repercussions for the entire system - from the scheming politicians of Lagos station to the colony of Nightshade and the poisoned planet of Bloodroot， poised for a civil war。

Enjoyable！ I like the character-driven aspect and the effect of a murder mystery in space。

It’s disappointing when the book starts with so much promise， but by the end you are just slogging through， constantly checking to see when it will finally be over。Tade Thompson captured my attention with his Rosewater series， and I welcomed this more overt science fiction venture of his， set in space on a giant starship。 （I love giant starships — I mean， who doesn’t？？？） “Nobody trained her for

through， constantly checking to see when it will finally be over。Tade Thompson captured my attention with his Rosewater series， and I welcomed this more overt science fiction venture of his， set in space on a giant starship。 （I love giant starships — I mean， who doesn’t？？？） “Nobody trained her for this。 Astronaut training anticipates everything one can reasonably expect to come across。 A killing spree is not reasonable。 A murderer on board is not reasonable。And the murderer is still on the ship。” The set-up is great — a “locked room” murder mystery set on a spaceship。 Michelle “Shell” Campion is the first mate to the Captain AI on the starship Ragtime that ferries a thousand passengers in suspended animation to the colony planet Bloodroot。 （No， I’m not sure why the names are so odd， but there’s also a mention of the failed colony Nightshade）。 But when Shell wakes up in the orbit of Bloodroot， she rounds out that the AI is mostly out of commission and there’s trouble （and a wolf） on board: “The disposal unit is thirty minutes away。 As soon as Shell enters， she sees the problem。The entire space is filled with the chopped-up bodies of passengers。” Joined by Fin， a Bloodroot “repatriator” （basically he send aliens back to their spacetime dimension or something）， and his “Artificial” Salvo， and later by a couple of people from the nearby space station Lagos， Shell is trying to figure out what the hell happened here — and as the things on the ship go terribly awry， they switch their priorities to mere survival。 And yes， there just may be a rogue AI， but less obviously telegraphed than this set-up suggests。 “If personhood can be contemplated， why not malfunctioning personhood？” There was quite a bit of fun to be had here， with this set-up。 And indeed for the first third I pretty much loved it all。 Rather than a locked room mystery in space it became more of a haunted house in space， and I got a kick out of the creepy vibe and the breakneck speed with pretty relentless pacing that feels deliberately urgent， and clipped short scenes that matched the clipped “staccato” narration （to borrow my buddy reader Dylan’s phrasing here）。 “So many ways to die on the Ragtime， so little time。” ——————But the strong start slowly started to fizzle out as the book progressed。I love complex stories and ideas， and Thompson definitely does not shy away from introducing more and more plot threads even well into the second half of the story — but in order to be truly successful with that you need to be able to still remain focused。 What this story suffers from， however， is unfocused execution， with plot threads sometimes making a messy tangle rather than a well-constructed pattern。 It often seemed to be a bit of a literary casserole concocted of bits of everything， even oversalted too-lumpy potatoes。 “Salvo says， “Who are we fighting？”“Space pirates，” says Shell。 “Lagos space pirates。 Mutants hiding in the service ducts。 Diseased Earthmen hiding in service ducts。 Rogue AIs。 Fucking Ragtime’s robots。 I don’t know， take your pick。 We were just knocked out of the sky by a demon AI that possessed our ship。”“Um， are we worried that we’ve seeded experimental organisms into this biosphere？” says Joké。“I can’t worry about that right now，” says Shell。“That’s how it happens， you know。 Nobody worries until it’s too late，” says Joké。” —————— Some more annoyances， in no particular order:- The aliens — I found the reveal quite disappointing， and Joké annoyed the daylights out of me with her endless magical whimsy and “Um” utterances。- The wolf — for all the buildup， what did it matter？ But it does look good on the cover。- Fin and Joké — at the breakneck speed of the plot I just fail to see any grounds for any meaningful connection， except that apparently flirting with Shell got her nowhere， so she turned to the next human not related to her。- The ultimate goal of the rogue AI？ Yeah， I’m underwhelmed as well。- The random half a page of dream demon sex among lava — yes， that’s straight out of Rosewater playbook。- The characters are not quite fleshed out， and besides Shell I could not care much if they lived or died — even Salvo who got the short stick in the whole story。- Oh， and Shell — it really wasn’t （view spoiler）[Ragtime’s （hide spoiler）] fault any more than yours， so get off your high horse。—————And so by the time we reached the last third of the book I realized that I don’t really care much about how it ends， and “why’s” and “how’s” of the initial plot ended up mostly irrelevant。 I liked the ambiguity of the interpretation of the supposed antagonist’s actions （（view spoiler）[Shell cannot view him in the positive light regardless of the motives or justification of his initial plan because the ultimate carrying out of that plot led to the carnage of the innocents （hide spoiler）]） but it did not outweigh the overall feeling of tired indifference about the outcome as my interest slowly waned by the end。 And when it all ended up a bit unfinished， I did not care all that much。So instead for rogue AI try Murderbot books; for truly weird aliens try Embassytown; for weird stuff on a starship try Non-Stop; for a better Tade Thompson book with more demon sex try Rosewater。2。5 stars， rounding up。——————Buddy read with Carol， Dylan and

OK well as a closed room murder mystery it never quite coheres but as a science fiction shipboard murder problem it is suitable complex， elaborate and getting every more elaborate with a fine collection of disparate characters。

The first half of this book is one WTF？ after another。 Tade Thompson pulls it all together and gives answers。 He had his story figured out and he wrote it well enough 。。。 still 。。。 for me the book was just okay。 I never felt blown away by any of those answers， the characters never came alive at all。 I finished it though I admit to some page-skimming。

Wonderful locked-room （well， spaceship） murder novel that is breezy to read， with hardly any infodumping and just lots of fun。 I love how the author mixes in some of his medical knowledge here and there， especially when it comes to things of the mind。

DNFI've not read Thompson previously and this may not have been a good place to start。I thought it began as a pastiche of golden age SF: cars have engines， people watch TV documentaries， use feet and inches and are seemingly forced to watch George C Scott movies as there is no choice。 The characters are paper thin， rookie astronaut giving up 20 years of her life in a deep space colonisation trip， and the cop suspended for being a renegade。。。 but given one final chance。The story is a closed room DNFI've not read Thompson previously and this may not have been a good place to start。I thought it began as a pastiche of golden age SF: cars have engines， people watch TV documentaries， use feet and inches and are seemingly forced to watch George C Scott movies as there is no choice。 The characters are paper thin， rookie astronaut giving up 20 years of her life in a deep space colonisation trip， and the cop suspended for being a renegade。。。 but given one final chance。The story is a closed room mystery but Thompson either hasn't read many of doesn't read much crime fiction。 He starts about page 40。。。 Various robots and other characters turn up when the author needs to wake up the story and by page 100 I was skim reading。I might tackle his award-winning stories as I can't believe they are so weak。 。。。more

The first unfinished book in years - a murder mystery that may as well have been crafted in a completely different setting。 Too many additions to save or create the narrative - instantaneous travel by human alien hybrids， escaped organisms， evil computers。 It started seeming a bit silly and so the narrative illusion was broken。 Not enough sci-fi or development。

Murder mystery in space。 Characters don’t develop and make there’s poor explanations for the way they act。 Dialogue is clunky and the antagonist is introduced at the very end of the book and given a handwave of why the main murder victim has to die （basically capitalism/wealth is evil）。 Interesting premise but the author should pulp this book and redo it。
