Sri Lanka - The Salvage Crew - Yudhanjaya Wijeratne

 

Sri Lanka was just a random country I picked after I heard that a mate had been there on holiday. The Salvage Crew popped up straight away, and got ordered within minutes. The story and characters had nothing to do with Sri Lanka but I don't mind. I've found a really cool book with loads of stuff I love about sci fi. A grumpy, weather worn AI ship, who leads the rest of the crew on a tough thankless mission. 

The book had some really really cool ideas, and I was really drawn to ideas of language and poetry leading the way in civilisation and advancement.
