Judgment Prey: Very Good
In the morning I finished Judgment Prey by John Sandford. A very good read; recommended.
Back (sort of)
After a hiatus of more than a year I have decided to blog again. However, no more daily link dumps. Those ate too much of my time. So expect less posts.
What to expect
- update on when I start to read a book
- short review of a book when I have finished reading it
- short review of a movie I watched
- photos of our new family member: Lina
- photos of my "pets": scorpions and tarantulas
Books I read earlier this year
A short overview of books I read earlier this year:
Licanius Trilogy
The Licanius Trilogy by James Islington consists of the following books:
I had some problems following the story in the second book. The first book is good and the third book is better. Give it a try if you're into fantasy.
The Ghost Orchid
Between the second and third book of the Licanius Trilogy by James Islington I read The Ghost Orchid by Jonathan Kellerman. It was a good read, recommended.
The Lost Coast
After the Licanius Trilogy by James Islington I read The Lost Coast by Jonathan and Jesse Kellerman. This is the fifth book in the Clay Edison series and in my opinion the best so far. Excellent read, highly recommended.
Abigail (2024)
In the evening Jaiden, Alice and her boyfriend Arda, Esme, and I watched Abigail. I recommend not to read up on this movie but just watch it. I liked it a lot—especially the explosions—and give it an 8 out of 10.
Toxic Prey
Gaia is dying.
That, at least, is what Dr. Lionel Scott believes. A renowned expert in tropical and infectious diseases, Scott has witnessed the devastating impact of illness and turmoil at critical scale. Society as it exists is untenable, and the direct link to Earth’s death spiral; population levels are out of control and people have allowed disarray and disorder to run rampant. While most are concerned about deadly disease, Scott knows that it is truly humanity itself that will destroy Gaia. It’s only by removing the threat that the planet can continue to prosper, and luckily, Scott is just the right man for the job…
When Scott then disappears without a trace, Letty Davenport is tasked with tracking down any and all leads. Scott’s connections to sensitive research into virus and pathogen spread has multiple national and international organizations on high alert, and his shockingly high clearance levels at various institutions, including the Los Alamos National Laboratory, make him the last person they’d like to go missing. As the web around Scott becomes more tangled, Letty calls in her father, Lucas, help her lead a group of specialists to find Scott as soon as possible. But as Letty and Lucas begin to uncover startling and disturbing connections between Scott and Gaia conspiracists, their worst fears are confirmed, and it quickly becomes a race to find him before the virus he created becomes the perfect weapon.
In the evening I started in Toxic Prey, book 34 in the Prey series by John Sandford.
