Picked up a harcover copy at an estate sale over the weekend. Space plus Florida in a time capsule ca. 1970. Page 35 refers to "the new university near Orlando," where I matriculated 11 years later after it became known as UCF.

A worthy addition to Hiaasen's Florida-verse.

Paused when my reserve of "Fever Beach" by Carl Hiaasen came in at the library.

Not very far in after a couple of days, but nice to start something where I don't already know some of the characters from a TV show.

Sought out the book after watching the TV series. It took 100 or so pages to grab me, but I raced through it from there. No, it doesn't exactly sync up with the show, but it's a very good read.

A week and about a third of the way in and hasn't really grabbed me. I've watched the TV show and that got me to seek out the book.

A good backstory to several of the Slow Horses characters. You might get the most enjoyment of this if you've read up to Spook Street [bookwyrm.social/book/201447/s/spook-street] first, but it does stand alone. I've noted before that Berlin is important to the Jackson Lamb backstory and that "Atomic Blonde" is a good companion for that reason. Herron fleshes that out a lot more in this.
