Also look out for the following series if you haven't read them already:

James Lee Burke - Robicheaux
Jussi Adler Olesen - Department Q
John Connolly - Charlie Parker
Michael Connelly - Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch
Angela Marsons - Kim Stone

Also reading the last 2 of the Expanse Series as a "break from Jack Reacher)

Currently reading The Naked Sun by Isaac Asimov, it's OK so far. How about this cover art by the great Chris Foss who seems to have been in a very silly frame of mind?

Year Zero by Rob Ried
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Year-Zero-Nove ... =year+zero

Sort of a Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy for the Napster generation. Aliens have become addicted to human music and we will bankrupt the universe with the royalty payments...

I'm listening to the audio book version, read by John Hodgman.

Reading my way through a bunch of graphic novels from the library...

The Deadpool ones are just pure win.

The Black Panther one is 'meh' but that's because it's out of context, likely.

The Cyborg book is awful, a dragged out story because they have fcuk all to say about an ill-defined lead character.

Just finished 'Read 'Em And Weep,' by Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill. A look at the world of comics production in the 70's as seen through the eyes of an editor who happens to be a fur-obsessed killer. It's an odd book because it is a very thinly disguised account of Pat Mills' time as creator/editor of Battle, Action and then 2000AD, when O'Neill was an art assistant there too. But it is funny...the spoof on 70's comics is spot on and I would like to see 'The Caning Commando' done for real.

It was well worth a look. Only £3.99 on Kindle and I would definitely get the next one when it's available.

Abadons Gate, third book in 'The Expanse' series.
The first three books have been universally excellent IMHO.
