Dragons in the Stars

Dragons in the Stars (Star Rigger Universe)Dragons in the Stars by Jeffrey A. Carver
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Terrific!

Came up.. hm, not sure which list or social media, but I'd read Carver before, and - this was just the right moment for a story that blended fantasy and hard SF themes. I literally burned through this and wound up picking up the next book right away (along with an omnibus of the Chaos Chronicles, which I had in early free e-book versions, but that I wanted in the collection).

The blend of cyberpunk-like interface and fantastical (real? imaginary?) realm of star-rigging was ... enchanting (to use a magical term) and the idea of an interstellar economy and travel based on such a system intriguing. I look forward to reading more of the Star Rigger's universe!
