4/5
4/5
I really enjoyed it but the timescale is so long and so much happens that it feels a bit rushed until the last section of the book. I wish this had been teased out into a trilogy.
4/5
Perfectly well oiled comedy of errors.
3/5
Solid but somewhat routine Culture installment.
3/5
Solid Reacher installment.
4/5
Excellent collection of articles and a couple of short stories. Worth reading just for the Wired article on the technology and politics of submarine cables.
5/5
Intelligent and humorous if highly contrived thriller set loosely around an MMORPG. Loved it.
4/5
Highly original tale of colonists cohabiting with some very unusual aliens with a very unusual language. It reads like J.G. Ballard and Nicholson Baker decided to collaborate on some SciFi.
3/5
Not bad, returns to when Reacher was in uniform and tells the story of how he left the Army (the answer may surprise you). As with the last few in the series it all comes a little too easily and you wish there was at least one worthy opponent. I'm hooked though so as long as Child keeps writing them I'll keep reading.
3/5
Solid foundation and covers the platform you need to target to reach the majority of Android devices.
