Which was fun, but not enough to make me want to re-read the rest of the books.

I've been on holiday, and got through quite a few books.

On Ordeal by Diane Duane - another three short stories in her Young Wizards universe. Vey good.

The Angry Tide by Winston Graham - more excellent late 18th century Cornish adventures of the Poldark family.

Man-Kzin Wars V by Larry Nivel et al. - more tales from the wars. Interesting.

Shanji by James C Glass - a Baen freebie I got ages OK. OK, but the plot was poor.

The Fourth Crow by Pat McIntosh - an excellent mediaeval Scottish mystery.
The King's Corrodian by Pat McIntosh - another in the series, but with a little bit too much logical experimentation IMO.

Artemis by Andy Weir. Good sf fun on the Moon, with quite a few plot holes, and with a female protagonist who didn't ring true to me. But whether that's Andy Weir's fault or mine, is hard for me to say.

Miss Phryne Fisher Investigates Splendid detective mystery novel set in early 20th Century Australia. The rest of the series are on my wish list.


Now starting on Seeing a Large Cat, the 9th in the Amelia Peabody series.
