Dan's March Reads

[Dan in AZ]

1. The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye, David L. 4
2. Sea of Rust, C. Robert Cargill. After robots take over from humans, super intelligences battle for total control. Some independent robots scavenge in the "sea of rust" where all old robots and other destroyed machines are picked over. Above the story line, a second layer tries to resolve existential questions: What makes a being "alive?" What is a soul? Who's good? Who's bad? Are marshmallows really food? 4Plus
3. Dead Stop, Barbara Nickless. Sydney Parnell, railroad cop, investigates when a woman is tied to the tracks and smushed by a train. 4
4,5,6,7,8. Extionction Point, Paul Jones. Five book story about aliens who kill almost everyone on earth, the survivors, and how very disparate ideas of the purpose of planet Earth are resolved. Fortunately, the good guys win. Bad Alien!

Personality-wise, pretty close. I can always count on you to dive to the heart of the matter, Mel.

Whew Dan! Thank goodness the good guys win in your five book series! The Sea of Rust looks good! I'm glad you enjoyed the latest Lisbeth Salander book too.
