In Finder, did you enjoy ...

... a goal-driven protagonist caught up in a wild interplanetary quest?

The Automatic Detective by A. Lee Martinez

If you loved Fergus Ferguson’s relentless pursuit of his stolen ship in Finder, you’ll love Mack Megaton’s mission in The Automatic Detective. Mack is a robot cab driver who just wants to mind his own business, but when his neighbors go missing, he’s compelled to solve the mystery—leading to action-packed chases, clever schemes, and a surprising amount of heart. The plot is driven by a clear objective and a protagonist who never gives up.

... a colorful ensemble of quirky, memorable characters?

The Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

If Fergus’s interactions with a wide array of oddball friends and foes delighted you in Finder, you’ll enjoy the Wayfarer crew in The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. This story features a lively group of humans and aliens, each with their own quirks and secrets, journeying together through space and finding family in unexpected places. The dynamic between characters is as much the heart of the adventure as the plot itself.

... irreverent, laugh-out-loud humor in a sci-fi adventure?

Terminal Alliance by Jim C. Hines

Did you enjoy the witty banter and comic situations in Finder? Terminal Alliance ramps up the humor with a ragtag crew of space janitors who must save the galaxy from disaster. Like Fergus’s dry humor and knack for getting into trouble, protagonist Marion ‘Mops’ Adamopoulos uses her brains—and plenty of snark—to navigate bizarre alien societies and outsmart her enemies. This book will keep you laughing while delivering a zany, action-packed ride.

... a hopeful, optimistic tone and uplifting journey?

A Psalm For The Wild Built by Becky Chambers

If the optimism and warmth in Finder left you smiling, A Psalm for the Wild-Built offers that same sense of hope. This novella follows a tea monk and a robot on a tranquil quest through a post-industrial world, exploring what it means to be alive and content. Like Fergus’s perseverance, the characters here embody kindness and resilience, making for a comforting and uplifting read.

... fast-paced, high-stakes sci-fi plotting?

The Collapsing Empire by John Scalzi

If you enjoyed the brisk pacing and constant action in Finder, The Collapsing Empire delivers a similarly energetic ride. The story throws you headlong into power struggles, betrayals, and plot twists, following multiple characters as they scramble to survive the collapse of an interstellar empire. Like Fergus’s adventures, every chapter brings new surprises and keeps you turning the pages late into the night.
