2043...A Merman I Should Turn to Be by Nisi ShawlMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Book 3 of the Amazon Black Stars series of short speculative
fiction stories. Not my favourite of the 4 that I have read so far. I
liked the way it created an underwater city to which escaping landers
were fleeing, paying for time limited, transit corridor opening licenses
through hostile surrounding territory - a bit like a cross between the "40 acres and a mule" reparations promise to freed slaves and the Underground Railroad. On the
other hand I felt it rushed in some parts, the premis requiring a longer
piece to do it justice.
