I just finished 'The Majestic 311' by Keith Blackmore.

It's a wild ride, the ending is a bit poo poo but overall I enjoyed it.

I gave up on book 2 as well.

The 1st book had interesting bits but was a bit boring overall, book 2 was just boring.

I think I'm going to temporarily shift off sci-fi with a listen of Mort (first Discworld book, for me) and a read of Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead.

I've only read 3 Terry Pratchet books, The Colour of Magic, Pyramids & Mort.

I thought all 3 were excellent.

I just finished The woman in me by Britney Spears (read by Michelle Williams)

God drat… I’ve never hated a man as much as I hate Jamie Spears.

The whole Britney Spears thing with her dad having legal control over her life is something I've found mildly interesting from what I've heard about it.

As a bloke & not a fan of her music, am I likely to find it interesting?

I've just finished Freedom by Daniel Suarez, it's the sequel to Daemon.

It needs a bit of suspension of belief but I really enjoyed it, it's one of the rare occasions where the sequel lives up to the original.
I really like the way it uses augmented reality, some of the tech is a bit wishful thinking but as said, a bit of suspension of belief works wonders.

If you liked the 1st one you'll enjoy the 2nd.

There. Are. SIX Dune books!
Just finished Between Two Fires. It was enjoyable, interesting take on horror in the late medieval period.

After finishing Between Two Fires I was after more of the same.

After a look around I found 'Son of The Morning' by Mark Alder, I've only just started it but it's definately got the same vibe.
