Finished Apocalypse Dance by C. J. Carella. This one wasn't as satisfying as the previous two books in the series, because it seems like there should have been three books built from this.
Seriously, three different world-ending fights in this one... I will read the fourth one, though. I enjoy the characters, and the writing overall is not bad.
Meanwhile, I've also finished reading Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time by Dava Sobel. This was a very good book. It outlines the Longitude problem that plagued seafarers for centuries, the differing means which were tried to solve that problem and the ultimate solutions obtained.
I have always been a fan of mechanical watches (though I can't wear them... my personal magnetic field tends to break them after a few months), and while this book is a layman's guide which barely brushes across the more technical features which set Harrison's chronographs apart from their predecessors, it kind of makes me want to learn much more about horography.
So, next up is The Ragnarok Alternative, the fourth New Olympians book. After that, perhaps another non-fic, or perhaps a thriller.
