a non-cringe space-fi adventure with a lot of vengeance, as well as detailed world building, with no stupid as fuck names
currently NOT reading protector by niven because it has some stupid as fuck names and idiotic ideas when it could just be a comfy drama around a really interesting group of belters
fucking "“Phssthpok the Pak" i'm not reading anything with pakis in it, or weird non-human shit that doesn't exist. fucking sci-realism and lots of fucking glorious violent vengeance.
or just some earth bound vengeance where the guy is mechanically minded, sort of like Law Abiding Citizen
lot's of intrigue.
ok book dall-e
