So, Tuesday afternoon, I finished reading (or rather re-reading) Balance of Trade, a standalone book in the Liaden Universe by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller. An excellent book in my all time favourite SF universe, and an excellent entry point to the series if you're new to Liad. (Oh, and if you are, I'm completely and totally envious of the wonderful discovery in front of you!) I did a re-read of this book primarily because I'm hoping to see an eARC of Trade Secrets, the sequel to Balance of Trade any day now.

Anyway, so here I am in a hotel with my current book finished, and trying to decide what to read now. I'm tired, and clearly not thinking straight, since I noticed Runner, the 6th of the Jane Whitefield books by Thomas Perry sitting in my TBR collection on the Kindle and thought that would be a good read. BAD. REALLY BAD IDEA. I finally fell asleep around 4AM, to turn around and be up for an 8AM meeting. These books are SERIOUSLY good reads and absolute page-turners. Do NOT start one just before bed. Sigh.

So, in this book,

Spoiler:

All in all, a great read. If you haven't discovered these books, the first is Vanishing Act and I highly recommend it.

What follows shows the changes in how things have to be done in a post-911 world and how much more difficult it is to disappear. And Jane must play a more warrior role in this one. All in all, a great read. If you haven't discovered these books, the first is Vanishing Act and I highly recommend it. Last edited by CRussel; 06-13-2013 at 06:53 PM.
