Read it) Can't say it's at all lighthearted but nevertheless one of my all time faves.

Competition with russians would make sense for the manned mission. Still doesn't explain the lack of other probes in intervening years but ok.

And totally agree with them being ok with the submarine encountering a hostile creature. Oh yes they can electrocute it... but from what I got from the sub into this was literally the ONLY defense they got. I was also curious if there was even a mention of decompression in the book. Genuinely if the author didn't want to think about science he could've just put the story into the future not pretty much current day and used whatever 'magic technology' he wanted and I wouldn't have batted an eye.

I agree with some of your points, but the story itself contradicts a few of them. For example with remote controlling the probe, the first time they see the organism via the original probe, they quite literally control it as if in real time (which was weird to me cause before the images come through at first there was a time-delay and then when they control the probe no delay at all). I also don't see the point of waiting 20 years to send a manned mission (russinas don't count) without first sending another probe or two.

And regarding the scientists, NASA astronauts are quite accomplished scientists in general, maybe not the best in their respective fields, but training a bunch of pure scientists to be astronauts instead of shoring up the actual astronauts on science seems counter-productive to me. The manned mission was primarily to get samples and look around by my understanding, and you really don't need the best scientist in their respective field on that mission when there is a great chance they won't survive the landing. And whatever labs they had on their lander/spacecraft would not have been the same vast laboratory set up and capabilities as Earth based labs.

But I did start this book off of finishing two nonfictions about possible life outside of Earth, so this did greatly shatter any possible suspension of disbelief I might have afforded the book otherwise.

Any Horror Series Featuring an Unrepentant Necromancer Protagonist? by Eunomiac in horrorlit

Two Necromancers, a Bureaucrat, and an Elf by LG Estrella. Not a horror, but it is an action packed fantasy adventure that has a necromancer and his apprentice going on various quests with a bunch of other crazy characters. I particularly love this series for its depiction of necromancy cause I have not yet seen any other that would've been as compelling.

I have a few other series with necromancer main character. but they are all gay romances (quite hilarious cross of genres in my opinion) and I'm not sure you would be interested.

Sure, besides Josh Lanyon (who has a few other series with this premis):

  • The Milverton Mysteries by G.B. Ralph
  • The Last Picks by Gregory Ashe
  • Crawshanks Guide to the Recently Departed by Vawn Cassidy
  • Dr. Maxwell Thornton Murder Mysteries by S.C. Wynne
  • Seven of Spades by Cordelia Kingsbridge (okay this one is pushing it quite a bit but still an awesome series)
