This is is for mysteries (with a dash of thriller or horror) set on spaceships, space cruise ships, space hotels, generation ships, and sometimes even a colony...a niche sub-genre that I love and want more people to discover. Will update as I find more!

So often scientist characters in fiction are hard to find, portrayed in a way that’s scientifically inaccurate, or prone to stereotypes.

Think evil mad scientists, characters with zero social awareness, or people who don’t have interests or hobbies outside of being obsessed with their work.

This list is for books with characters who feel like real people, and just happen to be scientists. Huge nerds with equally huge personalities.

(Will accept fantasy characters who are scientist coded)
