Finished up the S.A. Corey 9th book of the Expanse series (the ending) plus the postscript novella "Sins of our fathers". I thought the main book was a very good wrapup of the series, up to the standards of the rest of the series. It was not a forced wrapup, but a proper ending, a natural end point for the larger story arc. Characters were consistent and there were some interesting ideas. Sins of Our Fathers has spoilers of the end, so don't read it before #9. It was a good tie-up of a big loose end, and interesting scenario of the consequences of the ending.
Almost done with Larry Correia's "Target Rich Environment", a collection of several short Monster Hunter International stories, and some other short stories in his other series, or as written for other anthologies. As I've followed his writing for a while, part of this was repeats, but still fun. Earlier this summer I also read his latest main MHI series book "Nemesis", which was good. Up next is a re-read of Wool, as the prep for the full Silo series which I finally got on audiobook. I had read Wool years ago and liked it, so I'm interested to see how the whole series goes. |

Finished reading No Better Friend and Last of the King's Soldiers. The latter is Conti's sequel to Few Returned and covers his return to Italy and the turmoil in Italy following Italy's capitulation. He served in the Corps of Liberation that fought alongside the Allies in expelling the Germans from Italy (at least pushing them north).

I listen to books on Audible at work and finished 2 in the past couple of weeks that I saw recommended on ARFCOM.
Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties Highly recommend if you're into the Manson stuff and the 60's drug culture, Hollywood and the stuff .gov was up to. Suffer the Children I dunno if I got this title in the zombie section or in this section, but damn.. it's gory. I downloaded Brackens trilogy and Castigo Cay to start on Monday. |

Shogun.
I read for fun and decided to take a break from the sci-fi I had been reading and try some historical fiction. Read a great six-book series by Lynda S. Robinson set in ancient Egypt. It features a Lord Meren, who’s King Tut’s advisor and solves mysteries. Totally different than anything I had read before. This got me motivated to try and read some of Clavell’s books. I’m amazed how I’ve been moving through the beast of a book that is Shogun. It does takes some effort because the chapters are really long, so I can only do so much before bed. Once that’s done, there are three more of his books I’ll read. I’ll skip the one about the prison camp (IIRC, King Rat). |

Today I read Charles Bukowski’s Women beginning to end. I enjoyed it, having not read his works before but having wanted to. He’s certainly a miserable and nihilistic bastard, but god damn if I haven’t always enjoyed some well written nihilism and exploration of the depravity of mankind.

In the process with "Summer's End, by John Van Stry.
Dave Walker is a young man who has to run from a murderous politician step-father who needs Dave dead. He signs on to an interplanetary freighter, but pursuit continues. Unfortunately for some people, young Dave has a horrifying ruthlessness when pressed. https://www.baen.com/summer-s-end-earc.html Also just finished Colin Alexander's "Starman Saga: the long, strange journey of Leif the Lucky". Leif is a Ranger combat vet of "The Troubles" who wins a lottery for a place on the first mission to the stars. He's stuck in a ship with arrogant battling scientist, and an enemy Chinese woman pilot....All of whom hate his guts. All is not what it seems. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081G9ZBKG?tag=arfcom00-20 Book two, Leif is dropping off colonists to a colony many light years away. The scummy leader is murdered and the new leader is going full tyrant. Leif is no homicide investigator but he has to try to solve the situation. The old colonists are a pack of criminals, the new colonists are idiot Red guard wanna-be's, and Leif is not a patient man. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B8L8Z6MQ?tag=arfcom00-20 |

I have a few books going right now. Finished Blood Meridian (McCarthy) yesterday and Thrawn (Zahn) the day before. About to wrap up Monster Hunter Guardian (Correia), just started The Road (McCarthy), and am in the middle of Automaton (Hudson) but it isn't really holding my interest for some reason.
Blood Meridian was superb, but rough. Thrawn was also very good, but I think the same of everything I've read by Zahn. All of the Monster Hunter books are entertaining

Run Between the Rain Drops by Dale Dye, the retired Marine who acts and is also known for doing movie boot camp for Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers. It’s a fiction book written in first person about the experience of the Battle of Hue during Tet, in which Dye himself took part. I like it so far.
