Foe – Iain Reid

   This is a fascinating book, set in an unknown place in a somewhat future time. Junior and Hen(rietta) are married and living a quiet life on a farm. A stranger arrives with surprising news: Junior has been “selected” in a lottery to travel to a space station. What does this mean to their married relationship? Can a biomechanical replica replace Junior? The story creates unease, a really creepy feeling. At its core, this story is about relationships, with shifts in the balance of power creating compelling reading. Highly recommended.
