A lost colony planet, a perplexing murder, and a dogged homicide cop in this Audible Original story from best-selling author Larry Correia.

When the biggest colony ship in human history was sent to settle a paradise world, an accident hurtled it deep into uncharted space. A thousand light years from Earth, with no way home and no way to call for help, the colonists’ only hope for survival was the one barely habitable planet in range, a nightmare world they named Croatoan. Landing on the only five mountain peaks tall enough to rise above the lethal acid clouds, the settlers carved a civilization from the rock.

A hundred years later, Five Points has grown into a city of corruption and violence. With powerful corporations ruling the surface domes and criminal syndicates running the caverns below, murder is just the cost of doing business.

So when a Special Magistrate is found dissolving in a protein vat, it barely registers - until DCI Lutero Cade, the last honest cop in Five Points, catches the case. What he finds could threaten the colony’s very existence.

Or, at the very least, Cade himself.

A different kind of whodunnit that bleeds scifi with some good old detective work. Good short read

I didn’t even know sci-fi noir was a thing until this pulled me in. Correia fits a whole world into a short page count. Hard-boiled detective vibes dropped into a rough sci-fi setting, with a central mystery that keeps things tight.

What really works is how efficient everything is. The colony, the danger, the underlying tension, it all feels real without any heavy exposition. He doesn’t over-explain, and it makes the world land better.

Short, focused, and easy to get through. It does exactly what it needs to and gets out.

Definitely curious about Gun Runner and the rest of the series. If you like noir with a sci-fi edge, this is an easy pick.
