The most enjoyable aspect of this book is that it takes place in a world where all aspects of corporate culture have been taken to absurd extremes. Apart from that, it is Richard Morgan's usual bleak and violent vision of the future that I have come to love.

Abstract Reader reviewed Bone Silence by Alastair Reynolds (Revenger series)
Sequel to Shadow Captain.
Fun conclusion to the series
4 stars
Compared to the previous book, the pace picks up a bit. By the end, most of the hanging threads get tied up somewhere.

Weirdly British
4 stars
The book is quite fun. Sailing in space is a shockingly sound concept. The most surprising aspect of this book is that it is very British, both in the language the characters use but especially the made up future slang. Very fun!
