There are little moments that do feel like Chandler, despite being third person, but those just make how weird the rest of it feels that much more glaring. But sometimes, I do tip my hat begrudgingly at a good turn of phrase.

The second thing that struck me is just how much of a fucking boy scout this Marlowe is. This prologue (which also, a prologue???) is ten years before the rest of the book and establishes how he hates criminals and wants to be a cop. Two traits that are basically the opposite of Chandler's Marlowe.

As far back as Marlowe could remember, he'd wanted to be a detective like his dad. He listebed intently to the old man's stories abkut examining the scene, searching for evidencd, following leads, questioning witnesses and extracting confessions.

Did I discover that Raymond Chandler's estate authorized a reimagining of Philip Marlowe in 2022? And its 86% off on the kindle store right now? And its excruitiatingly bad??

Yes, yes and fuck yes! Buckle up losers, I'm gonna read it till I get too angry to see straight.

#SFFChat Q4

As it would happen, the first book of Synchronicity begins from jump with a recounting of the passage of time.

One moment I am nothing, the next I am me again.
I was not prepared during training for the experience of longsleep. The scientists and engineers and quickjump pilots who travel in-system told us that it would be like waking up a second after falling asleep, years having passed. They were wrong. There’s an awareness in the void of nothing. The rest of the universe passes by at lightspeed, but I experience the sensation of it moving through me. A constant, slow, beat. As the centuries pass, it does not get less unsettling.
And then I awaken, a little over four years after our seven-hundred and ninety-second jump, and I exist again.

Book cover for Keeping The Peace by Tris Husband.

The first time I laid eyes on Akakios, child of Diodotos, xe was drunkenly trying to start a high-end turbobike outside the Draped Vine. Xe had a young-looking face, but xer hair was bone white and xer slight yet toned arms were covered in fading scars. I could tell by xer eyes that xe was wasted, but otherwise xe looked like every hard-working sailor I drank with in those days; it was a strange sight for a high-end establishment like the Vine.
Behind the sailor was a girl. Her hair and dress were a deep red—like blood oozing from a wound—and her disinterested smirk marked her as the kind of woman I would have let walk all over me. Her skin was nearly as pale as Akakios' hair. The elegance of that woman almost outmatched the elegance of the bike. Not quite.
A rather annoyed parking attendant stood next to the bike, one hand holding it steady as xe struggled with the controls. The man was the usual half-tough character in ostentatious white garb, with the name of the bar displayed on his crisp suit in dark purple. He was at the end of his rope.
"Look," he said, his voice as sharp as a knife, "you've got to move the bike. I can even turn it on for you if it gets you out of here faster." He reached for the controls but

I shrugged and closed the door behind her. “Come on in, Nympha,” I said as she sat on my ottoman and placed her purse in her lap. She was very prim and she looked at nothing in the room but me. I opened the shades and picked the dirty ashtray off the coffee table. “Would you care for a cup of coffee?”
“Yes, please, thank you. Black, please. No sugars.”
I went into the other room and dug around for a presentable mug. I wasn’t satisfied with what I found, but I arranged two of my best on a small silver tray I’d never used before, filled them both and carried the tray into the other room.
I watched as she politely took a sip. “You make good coffee, Isadora. This is quite nice.”

The first dialogue in the entire book and its just an old timey version of the "nice eyes" "thanks, I grew them myself" joke lol

One more piece in the pile of "Transfem egg Phillip Marlowe" evidence, constant humor deflection
