Starting with former C.I.A. Agent (that's Colonial Intelligence Agency) Cindy-Mei Winter's arrival on the backwater Terran colony of Deanna, the planet's reputation for being the center of the universe as far as weirdness is concerned held true; strato-penguins that flew too high exploded, ha-ha birds crashed into everything, Ding, the small shiny moon really did fall down occasionally, and the Ruminarii - Humanity's long-lost adversaries - chose that exact same day to crash the party by invading the colony. Together with a string of interesting personalities on Deanna, including Fred the Arborian (the astonishing sentient and very mobile plant alien), Beck the Badfeller (Deanna's most famous bounty hunter), Peg (the Sheriff of Atro City), Timaset Skooch (a ramshackle P.I.) and the Skeggs Valley Dynamite Fishing Club (don't ask) - Mei must overcome a flurry of threats to life, liberty and peace and quiet,

A bestseller in France and winner of the Prix Renaudot, By a Slow River is a mesmerizing and atmospheric tale of three mysterious deaths in an oddly isolated French village during World War I.The placid daily life of a small town near the front seems impervious to the nearby pounding of artillery fire and the parade of wounded strangers passing through its streets. But the illusion of calm is soon shattered by the deaths of three innocents–the charming new schoolmistress who captures every male heart only to kill herself; an angelic ten-year-old girl who is found strangled; and a local policeman’s cherished wife, who dies alone in labor while her husband is hunting the murderer. Twenty years later, the policeman still struggles to make sense of these tragedies, a struggle that both torments and sustains him. But excavating the town's secret history will bring neither peace to him nor justice to the wicked. From the Trade Paperback edition.
