Tuf Voyaging by George R. R. Martin is a sci-fi space opera with elements of dark comedy and horror. If you're familiar with GRRM's other works, this book is no different in terms of GRRM's incredible world building and character writing skills. I would hesitate to call this novel "hard" sci-fi as it doesn't get too much into the technical Features: Playable George R. R. Martin, who is granted the province of Rosby in 8293. New George exclusive mechanic of inspiration, allowing George to write novels granting him unique powers. Prolong the legacy of George by slaying the most prominent dynasties, extending the life of the macabre author. Forgeable (Georgeable lmao) Bloodline!

What is with this sub and trashing George rr Martin? Any character sounds 2d when described like that e.g. Walter white is just a suburban dad plagued by an unfulfilled desire for greatness.
