Nobody’s Baby by Olivia Waite

 

As I said when I reviewed the first book in this series, I am a big fan of generation ship stories, so I was intrigued when I saw Murder by Memory by Olivia Waite on NetGalley and I was very happy to be granted an advanced reader copy by the publisher. At the time I said that I thoroughly enjoyed that book and hope that this author writes more in this setting. My hopes were answered with this new volume, Nobody’s Baby, (which I also got an eARC of from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review) in which the protagonist Dorothy Gentlemen’s nephew Rutherford find an abandoned baby, which is a real mystery on a ship in which everyone is living in replicated bodies that are designed to be sterile until they reach their destination.  Even more so than in first book, the mystery itself seemed almost besides the point, since I was more focused on the characters and the world building. Now, I didn’t mind that, since the characters and the world building are what I am here for. I also enjoyed this book a lot and look forward to many more in this series.
