Lock In by John Scalzi
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I admire the writer for showing restraint in his depiction of the vehicles used by the locked in.

Robots.

I would have had them super powered, stronger, faster, superior in every way!
That would have been a mistake.

The premise of the locked in, was well explained and developed appropriately, giving the book and the mystery that unfolds a plausibility, which allows you to seamlessly enjoy the story, that turns into a detective yarn, of a very high standard.

Only three stars, because I prefer my sci fi, just a little bit more out there!

Never the less, its a strong three, with a heck of a lot of positives to enjoy!

Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Could not finish it Made me think, about my own cerebral qualifications.

No way my brains like a super computer!!

Yeah well hmmmm, I just could not connect. Its a good book, from what I read.

It just wouldn't let me in, or maybe I couldn't figure out the pass word!!!

Anyway, this is the one that got away. I am disappointed in myself but hey that's life!!!!!!

The Abyss Beyond Dreams by Peter F. Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was in familiar territory at the beginning, the commonwealth a place I have traveled to before with Hamilton.

The middle of the book, slightly stilted for me. It was OK, something I wouldn't have expected from this author, whose previous work I have devoured.

The latter, final act redeemed the book for me, raising the bar of the whole piece.


This book is a solid, set up for the next.

I would liked a little bit more umpth from the get go, for the next installment, but all that said, it is solid 4 for me, I will definitely be picking up the next one.
