This is the first book in a series. All worth reading. |
Hmmm. Unfortunately, it appears that later books in the series are no longer available. Not sure if Baen lost the rights, but if so, no one else appears to have picked them up and the author hasn't re-published them. I'm not sure I'm willing to even start on the series if I can't get the later volumes.
Meanwhile, I finished the Bruno, Chief of Police book I started yesterday.
The Crowded Grave. An excellent book, this series just keeps getting better. Though there is one very tough moment near the end. But even with that, I really enjoyed it.
