May 2021

I finished C.S. Friedman's This Alien Shore. It was great. I mean what's not to like, humans that are alien with implanted brainware, hackers, soul sucking aliens, multiple personalities in one person on the run from who know who across the galaxy, corporate pirates, smugglers, political Byzantine plots all trying to get a head some with deep seated hatred. Anyway it was loads of fun. I will be listening to Ms Friedman's sequel This Virtual Night when I finish with Iona Whishaw's A Killer in King's Cove.

Someone I know just recommended Ben Aaronovitch's "Rivers of London" series. Described as police procedurals and crime thrillers revolving around a police unit that deals with magic and the supernatural with historical aspects as well.
