Why read it?
1 author picked Far from the Light of Heaven as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
As a reader, I am drawn to both noir and science fiction because they are both puzzles. They present a mystery seeking an answer, whether it is a question about the rules of a strange new world, or the question of who killed who and how.

The seemingly impossible crime is enough to keep one reading to the end, but then the book provides other, more enticing mysteries that grow in scale and scope the deeper the story goes.
From Victor's list on blending speculative fiction and noir fiction.
