Task 20.1 - January and Janus

Option 2: Imperfect Sword
Genre is science fiction. The book does not have a specific year or century, but it is set in a time when humanity has colonized many planets beyond our Solar System and the first book in this setting (Dauntless) features a character who has been in hibernation for a century, so I think it is safe to say this is later than 2100.
