another good read

Finished reading "The Prefect" by Alastair Reynolds. Again I'm not disappointed. Though the story is based in a region of the galaxy as many of his other stories this one is a detective story wrapped in science fiction. I'll tell you one thing, today's criminals should consider themselves lucky they don't have to face an officer of the law in possession of a "whiphound." I have two more Reynolds books on my shelves to be read - "Terminal World" and "Absolution Gap". I'll probably read two or three other books before starting one of those, give the last one a chance to linger in my mind for awhile.
