I have a two-fer for you this week–two books set in the same universe but written by different authors. They are Anchored by Rachel Haimowitz and Counterpunch by Aleksandr Voinov. The world-building is terrific. The books are set in a world pretty much identical to ours–except that slavery wasn’t abolished in the US in the …
