Choose Your Enemies (Ciaphas Cain Book 10) Tekijä: Sandy Mitchell
The plot and bolter-porn are actually quite samey to previous books but little things like Cain navigating tea service during a tense intel briefing remain delightful.
Mostly bolter porn but still a cut above thanks to Cain, Jurgen and Vail.
A typical spelunker turns into Frasier and then AvP.
Stewart, Alex. Shooting the Rift. Baen, 2016.
Alex Stewart’s usual gig is writing novel tie-ins for Warhammer and other games. In Shooting the Rift he shows that he can write a first-person space opera with an engaging voice and a story that does not remind one too often of gaming. Our hero-narrator is Simon Forrester, a good-looking kid from a matriarchal culture, who is exiled when he cheats on the entrance exam to the space academy. He finds himself co-opted into an espionage plot on a merchant ship. The world-building is impressive. There are two rival military cultures, two rival merchant subcultures, and some “transgeners,” with various genetic changes—increased strength, multiple limbs, and photosynthetic skin mandating a lot of nudity. I am surprised that Stewart has not written more in this milieu. 3.5 stars.… (lisätietoja)
