Just finished the Icarus Needle. A sci fi adventure story. the 5th book in the series. Sixth if you count the Icarus Hunt which is the introduction to the saga.
Its by Timothy Zahn who is most famous for his Star War novels that I have not read. but I like his Quadrail series, sci fi mysyteries , And his Cobra books which are military stuff. Sci fi mysteries are sort of rare. And the Quadrail series if a homage to Noir detectives, Hitchcock, and any murder mystery on a train.
Anyway, the end of the Icarus Needle leaves it open for at least another book in the series. or maybe more. I'm kind of hoping that he wraps this up. I'm getting tired of them.

I just finished "Paradise 1" by David Wellington. This is the first book in a new sci-fi trilogy. This was a big book at nearly 700 pages and is hardcore sci-fi horror (think Alien). It is pretty gruesome and i almost stopped reading it but carried on and got into it. There is a lot of technical computer stuff like AI's that run the ships. This is nothing new but this book takes it to a whole other level. It's got some out there ideas and it was really good. Unfortunately the library does not have book two which was released in November of this year. Hopefully they will order it. This is sometimes an issue with series.

This afternoon I read "My Time to Stand" by Gypsy-Rose Blanchard with Melissa Moore and Michele Matrisciani. This is a memoir of the woman who killed her mother (her boyfriend did the actual murder) who had abused her for her whole life. Her mother had the mental disorder called Munchausen by proxy. I am sure most of you have heard about this story as it was all over the media back in 2015. Gypsy-Rose was released on parole last December. This book was very interesting as she describes the horrible things her mother did to her and how it affected her. She also provides information about her mother's background. It is just mind boggling what Gypsy went through and how she has somehow survived to be able to tell the story.

I asked at the library if the second book was on order and another library has it so she put in a request for me.
