The characters are alright. The main character, Petrova, is my least favorite. Dr. Zhang and Rapscallion (The ships AI Robot) are probably my favorite. They have a sense of straightforwardness that in life I appreciate. He also has a nice comedic element that is pretty typical these days for robots

While this book does use scientific terms such as the scientific name of different yeast and fungus, the stories used to wrap those hard to understand words are written so well that you don't feel like you are missing anything.

This is the book that I was so excited to read when it first came out, that I read ahead of where my mom and I stopped. Tre story, the magic, and the characters are just huge in my mind from this point forward.

The short of this is that this book isn't for everyone. Much like his comedy, these stories can be crass and graphic, but if you keep yourself open-minded, and you don't mind a more language than Captain America has ever heard, then you can find some hysterical stories.

However, I have since learned that really it is a trilogy with 2 additional books that add more but aren't considered part of the main series. Second, there is a couple year gap between the first book and this which puts them out of being teenagers and somehow that feels better.

This is a decent book that tells a good story. However, it is nothing crazy. A memoir that doesn't explain anything beyond some almost repetitive statements about how military members deal with combat actions.

This story is complete with great detail in the story telling without becoming boring. However, the repetition of described actions, "If I have to I will use my mailed fists" gets very old very quick during important scenes.

I am not 100% sure I remember anything from this book even though I finished it yesterday. It was a lot like SPQR A History of Ancient Rome where it was very academic. I do not think I was really interested until "Chapter" 8.

This is a crazy story of the attack on Pearl Harbor and those that lived on the island that you have never heard of. The closest you would ever hear about this is probably from the TV show NCIS for 2 reasons... 2) Douglas Wada worked for NIS which is the predecessor to NCIS.

This book doesn't do a good job of explaining the connection in the series, but is an entertaining story about Kovatch on another adventure. The actions scenes are well described, but the story doesn't matter. It feels inconsequential at best. Other than being off planet in a different sleeve ...

This was an interesting book that presents what could be the truth about how the CIA saw their role when dealing with "Guests." Its ability to talk about the judicial search for what was legal and required of the CIA when conducting interrogations.
