My rating: 4 of 5 stars

SciFi and politics, what could be better? If you add in the realism of NASA backed information it is much better. Darren Bayer has taken around five years to produce this first instalment but for me the wait was worth it. He has combined his extensive knowledge of space related things to a very good storyline to produce an entertaining and exciting novel. Mandi is a journalist who uncovers some evidence of a dark plot to take over the interests of one of the world largest corporations AIC and their revolutionary technology. This technology has allowed interstellar travel and the discovery of new worlds including Eridani where AIC are now head-quartered. The book gathers pace all the time and has very exciting final chapters but most of all it is a very believable view of the future

The Boys of the Dixie Pig by Stacy Childs

The Boys of the Dixie Pig by Stacy Childs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Just another day in the life of a gun runner, well not quite. This is a very good action thriller involving drugs, gambling, fraud, murder, friendship as well as gun running, so plenty of scope. Mack Barton has a reunion with his old school pals whilst trying to escape the clutches of a gang boss who wants Mack's gambling debt repaid. Mack is brought up to date with what his friends have done in their lives, in particular Ace Strain who has developed a new type of cryogenic process. Is it only just cryogenics? This is the question that author uses to develop the book into a fantastic story, which is very exciting and entertaining. The writing is easy to read with no unnecessary padding only a lot of action is crammed in.
