@joel@bookrastinating.com I found the 2 first ones a bit too similar, but after the second the books branch out a bit more :)

I've wanted some more recent procedurals, kind of like police TV series, just in book form, this was my first try.

It was a decent book, I kind of liked it, but I didn't like any other characters than the detective really, and it all feld rather old fashioned, the 2001 release must have been a rerelase I think of an older book? At least it felt that way. All in all it was decent, but it was kind of a bit of a drag to get through.

I really enjoyed this book, it was fun to read, the characters were good, and I really enjoy the way moon writes, it's just so easy to read, even when the situations are dire, there is at least some hope there. Really enjoyable in general, could be a bit less rapey though.

I picked this up as a short interlude between some a bit more serious books, it's a fun little action type book, and I kind of enjoyed the first one, so why not, well, I kind of enjoyed this one as well, and I will probably read the next one and kind of enjoy that one as well.

The biggest issue for me was that the foreword claims "it's a clean book with no foul language, or graphic scenes" When I read through the book and it has multiple graphic murders, a male protagonist with constant male gaze continuously leering at any woman around him, multiple mentions of previous rapes, threats of rape, and something very close to torture.. But to say fuck, or a consensual sex scene would be over the line?

I really enjoyed this one, it felt more like 3 stories about the same person, that kind of wouldn't work in isolation.

Then again I'm a sucker for these stories about a hyper competent young person joining the military for some reason, I don't really know why, but I always find them really enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this one, I have enjoyed a lot of Cherryh's books, this one is a bit lighter on politics than most of them are, and it's a quite fun story with alien aliens and a fun universe and some fun characters, I at least really enjoyed this one.
