6. Starting the 3 volume in John Scalzi's "Old Man's War" series- "The Last Colony"

I really enjoyed Tim Krabbé's The Rider. I'm not sure anyone who is not a cyclist would get this book. There are vignettes of past races and towards the end some get quite fanciful as the extreme exertion begins to affect the mind of the rider. It is a novel but told in the 1st person by a racer named Tim Krabbé.

About Scalzi's The Ghost Brigades I liked it much better than the 1st Old Man's War. The main character is someone who starts out without a real personality and has another persons brain pattern also in his brain. The characterization is much more developed in this novel. That's what I like in a novel; good character development that tells a good story.

I was a big fan of Elizabeth George's Inspector Lindley series. I liked the interplay of the inspector and his often unconventional sergeant. When Lindley's wife is murdered it seemed like Ms. George jumped the shark. How was A Traitor to Memory?
