Use of Force (Scot Harvath #17) by Brad Thor
3/5
I've been trying to put my finger on why Scot Harvath is only OK and I think it's because he's so awesome that he never really suffers from any setbacks. Everything kind of clicks into place for him and he always remembered to bring the right tactical dodad for the job. Nearly there...
Bone Silence (Revenger, #3) by Alastair Reynolds
4/5
The Revenger series comes to a close and my only regret is reading the books when published - with a sizable gap in between it can be a challenge to come back up to speed.

Anywhere else I might not have enjoyed it quite a much after the first few chapters, but in the setting it was transcendental.
