Elysium Fire

Fantastic!  5/5 stars.  I missed Alastair Reynolds' space operas.

Last Stand by William Weber


The story lines started out ok but the science was quite terrible and the political premises were bizarre.  The squad and battalion tactics were interesting.  I learned a little about primitive tech, self-sufficiency, and modern military tactics 3/5 stars. ​

Urlaubsverbrechen

This story, though well-acted and well-presented  was extremely contrived, even for an Agatha Christie murder mystery. There were too many motivations and silly, unmotivated melodrama.  2/5 stars.  Don't waste your time.
