Hello all, I’m new to this community!

I just finished Murray Leinster’s Pariah Planet. I love how it started out, but some of his writing ticks bothered me too much (he uses “presently” nearly every other page) otherwise I would probably continue with his Med Series. Idk maybe I will anyway…

Does anyone have any recommendations for me? Not looking for just pandemic stories, (and please no zombies) – I enjoy the detective undertones of public health scientists figuring shit out, and some of the political conflicts that arise.

One thing about Pariah Planet that I’ve been really drawn to are stories of scientists in solitude. I really liked the movie io and the podcast series Girl in Space.

I’m also in the middle of Apollyon but waiting for more of the next season to come out so I can binge!

Books available as audiobooks, podcast audiodramas, and movies would all be ideal but lmk whatever you think fits in my very specific subgenre interest

Thank you !!
