Published: Sept. 15, 2023, 4 p.m.

Our Book Club concludes its reading of the Hugo and Nebula shortlist novels with \u201cThe Daughter of Doctor Moreau\u201d by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and \u201cThe Spare Man\u201d by Mary Robinette Kowal. One\u2019s an homage to H.G. Wells (sort of?) and the other plays like \u201cThe Thin Man\u201d in space. Plus: We debate the meaning of star-rating systems, and what else are we reading?
