Since i could not get Off Armaggedons Reef last year, i settled for another book from David Weber, random one there was being sold translated to local language, so i thought why not.

However, it turned out to be a mistake, as the book is part of the Honorverse series, as i later found out, however its one of the books from its spin-off sub-series, and not even the first one in there. Its called Storm from Shadow or something along the line, dont remeber the exact english name.

I tried my best to read it, but seems i miss lot of background not reading the previous books. And unfortunately, while i thought a book about interstellar politics and space combat would be right down my alley, it turns out its really not i guess. Maybe its the style of the author, but it seems to focus way too much on details of everything, minutae of said combat, extremely sophisticated dialogues, etc.. i dont know. Expanse i found way easier to read.

Anyway, just today my brother asked me what book i want for Christmas this year, so i checked the store and decided for Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds. This time around, the first book in said series. Hopefully i am going to like it. 

I am not a fiction fan.  But for this demographic, I like "Quantum Computing for Everyone", by Chris Bernhardt, for a little light reading.   Or "Bioinformatics for Dummies", if you want to be the next layperson to invent the cure for cancer.   I mean, those postdoc Molecular Biologists...what do they know....

I read the entire series and enjoyed it thoroughly!
