Publisher's Summary

Set in the glittering technological future of the year 2526. Where sentient robots live and work alongside their human counterparts, and in a Solar System burgeoning with trade, commerce and activity, Plutonian Sun is an intriguing detective story exploring life and death on the furthest frontier of mankind’s expansion.

Pluto Police detective Erwin Flecknoe is weary, living in the domed Sagan City, the most distant outpost from Earth, his life has become mundane. Pondering whether he should return to his home five billion kilometers away and feeling restless and bored, when he and his robot partner Pye are tasked to investigate a young woman’s death on one of the space stations, he was not particularly enthusiastic. But as the investigation uncovers an obsolete explosive, the wreck of a terrorist’s ship and a surprising perpetrator, Flecknoe and Pye are embroiled in a race against time as they try to untangle this puzzle.

A great read

I really enjoyed this, it was a future I could believe is possible. There was enough detail to feel immersed in this alternate reality in an organic way. No fantasy here. It's also interesting from a robotics and AI perspective. The characters were realistic, although their thoughts and feelings were set out in a bit too much detail sometimes. This does not at all take away from a really interesting story about an age old question of who killed this person and why. The narration was flat and toneless, which fit with the main character who is world-weary, but not the other characters. It was a shame, but I am definitely looking forward to a second book. I want to know more about this world.
