To Every Seed His Own Body
When humanity left Olearth, it left like a murderer leaving a corpse: with haste and without looking back. They escaped on seedships—plant DNA infused with nanotech; trees dreaming themselves into spaceships.
Read if you like: locked room mysteries in space; protagonists whose names are as mysterious as their past; the Japanese golden age of detective stories.
Available as part of The Reinvented Detective anthology. (Amazon, Bookshop, Apple, Audible.)
(Edited by Cat Rambo and Jennifer Brozek.)
