I promised myself I'd read the series and so I shall, although I'm finding them a real slog as it goes on... and on ... and on. Endless numbers and acronyms, if you enjoy huge made up space battles then go for it, its all yours

An enjoyable novel from a time when novels weren't written by the kilogram

Re-read it after finding a $1 copy in a market, first read it twenty years ago when borrowed from a friend. Not quite as gripping second time around, very much of its time and place, the drugs, the music, the landscape and the politics of the UK in the early '90s. I think I had an inkling of whodunnit far earlier during my first reading than on my second, memory failed in the intervening years!
@sohkamyung plenty of authors write under multiple names, (eg Edith Pargetter, Ellis Peters). I'd think that the name they published a book under should be the one shown in the Bookwyrm for that book. I hit "import" to get this one via its ISBN and it pulled in the book title & author, in my opinion it is not correct, I don't think I'd noticed until now, perhaps if his two publishing names weren't so similar I might have!

Surprise find in a roadside tiny library, a brand new Rebus
I haven't read the previous two and I suspect that some of the events in there are necessary back story, but enjoyable as always
Holiday couch page turner, enjoyable enough if you like military aviation thrillers. Interesting point was that it was written in 1998 but describes a Russia-Ukraine conflict
Enjoyable time filler, finding them interesting to read almost a hundred years after they were written
Interesting enough, I'm not the target audience for it though. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to make their adventuring their income

Easy reading pulp, some interesting teases and ideas from the 1920s-30s around "artificial minds" and computers
