When Suzy Spitfire discovers her father was murdered after creating a super-duper artificial intelligence, she races across the solar system in search of the brain he built - but it's a rough ride, and she's soon forced to tangle with pirates, predators and her father's killer - as well as a man she thinks she can love
  
Review
 
I often find that a lot of science fiction books spend far too much time on the tech and not enough on developing the characters or the storyline.

In this case the balance was much better, there was enough tekkie stuff to keep the hard core sci-fi geek happy but an equal amount of time was spent getting to know Suzi Spitfire and the other main characters.

The narrative is non stop with Suzi lurching from one sticky situation to another and it kept my attention for its entire duration.

All-in-all this was a fun story which although is perfectly self-contained leaves enough scope to continue Suzi's adventures

Favourite Books of 2023

With 2024 now nearly a week old, I thought I'd compile a list of my top ten books of 2023. Unfortunately I've not been able to whittle it down to just ten so I tried to make it my favourite ten authors. Once again I failed as there are so many great books I didn't want to leave out. Even so I've had to be harsh and leave out many that would've made last years list (what do you mean I didn't publish a list last year? Yeah, I know, I was too busy reading and writing reviews and I completely forgot) My list is composed of 15 authors and contains 42 books from a variety of genres (it could easily have been 60 books from the 400 I read last year (ok, some of those were quite short and I've not got much else to do) Lets get on with it I hear you yell, so without further ado and in no particular order, these were my favourite reads of 2023 Scratch that. I'm going to list them in alphabetical order by author surname so no further favouritism can be gleaned from ...

At first Balcombe thinks it's straightforward but as he digs, other cases reveal an evil in Hong Kong. One that could consume them all. Set in 1954, this is book 2 of the series. It can be read as a stand-alone but the author recommends boo...
