Santuario by author G.B. Gordon is the first in the Santuario series. I love this start to a very original scifi story. I liked this one a lot usually scifi is not a genre I read a ton of, but I would if they were like this one. Loved it. I tend to not like overly complicated stories. When I read I want something I can sink into but not have to I guess think too hard? I just wanna relax and enjoy myself. This book does that for me.
Alex is a police Teniente. He has spent his life on Santuario. It is an island his people live on. They are mostly poor being rule by the elite rich of their kind.
Skanians have also colonized this planet but they have the majority of the land because they were there first and shoved Alex’s people kinda out of the way.
Bengt is an investigator from Skanian side. He is there to investigate a murder.
As these two works together they learn a whole lot about each other and their places in the world. Really well-written story and well thought out. I was not lost, and I did not need to keep notes to read this one. I loved it. I am looking forward to many more from this series in the future.
