I've tried this three times now and I always fall behind on my reviews. My husband has heard me bemoan this for three years now and has decided to try it himself and the JERK is already AHEAD of me on reviews. Game on.

Exit Strategy- Moooore Murderbot!

Exit Strategy by Martha Wells

Plot: Murderbot wasn’t programmed to care. So, its decision to help the only human who ever showed it respect must be a system glitch, right? Having traveled the width of the galaxy to unearth details of its own murderous transgressions, as well as those of the GrayCris Corporation, Murderbot is heading home to help Dr. Mensah—its former owner (protector? friend?)—submit evidence that could prevent GrayCris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit. But who’s going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue? And […]

Rogue Protocol- Murderbot!!

Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells

by 7 Comments

Summary: SciFi’s favorite antisocial A.I. is again on a mission. The case against the too-big-to-fail GrayCris Corporation is floundering, and more importantly, authorities are beginning to ask more questions about where Dr. Mensah’s SecUnit is. And Murderbot would rather those questions went away. For good. Review: I’m rereading my way through the Murderbot series so I can finally get caught up and read the last two- which have been sadly languishing on my to-read shelf. Rogue Protocol is book #3 in this novella series. Short summary […]

Rogue Ghosts and Other Miscreants- One of my favorite cotton candy series

Rogue Ghosts and Other Miscreants by Annette Marie and Rob Jacobsen

by Leave a Comment

Plot: As a former con-artist, I love a convoluted, mind-bending scheme as much as the next guy. But as a recently promoted MagiPol agent, I love it significantly less than that guy. Especially when the life of a kidnapped teen hangs in the balance. Between confusing orders and conflicting evidence, this whole investigation has me and my partner, Lienna, spinning in circles. Why is our boss keeping this case off the books? Why is our top suspect, the most notorious rogue in Vancouver, mired in […]
