Fantasy & SciFi
From the author of Planetside, a Best Book of 2018 (Library Journal)
A military legend is caught in the web between alien intrigue and human subterfuge…
Following his mission on Cappa, Colonel Carl Butler returns to a mixed reception. To some he is a do-or-die war hero. To the other half of the galaxy he’s a pariah. Forced into retirement, he has resettled on Talca Four where he’s now Deputy VP of Corporate Security, protecting a high-tech military company on the corporate battlefield—at least, that’s what the job description says. Really, he’s just there to impress clients and investors. It’s all relatively low risk—until he’s entrusted with new orders. A breach of a competitor’s computer network has Butler’s superiors feeling every bit as vulnerable. They need Butler to find who did it, how, and why no one’s taken credit for the ingenious attack.
As accustomed as Butler is to the reality of wargames—virtual and otherwise—this one screams something louder than a simple hack. Because no sooner does he start digging when his first contact is murdered, the death somehow kept secret from the media. As a prime suspect, he can’t shake the sensation he’s being watched…or finally succumbing to the stress of his past. Paranoid delusion or dangerous reality, Butler might be onto something much deeper than anyone imagined. But that’s where Butler thrives.
If he hasn’t signed his own death warrant.

Carl Butler är definitivt inte någon ledargestalt, förstår inte hur han kunde nå så långt som till överste i det militära? Boken presenterar honom mer som en privatdetektiv, typ Mike Hammer: frånskild, psykiska problem och problem med spriten. Dessutom är språket mer av det "hårdkokta", som återfinns i gamla amerikanska deckare. Historien bör mer ses som en detektivhistoria i en något annan miljö än traditionella amerikanska deckare

If you like the prospect of a noir detektiven in a military setting, boy is Planetside and Spaceside for you! Mostly well-written (some instances of repetition and awkward phrasing like "we got moving, I moved to the removal site" which sounds clunky at least in an audio format) and fun pace with a protagonist that is a compelling character as a calculating asshole with a heart buried deep. He's fucked up and self aware and I found myself invested, not necessarily for his well-being but those around him who really shine. I like the dialogue and the scope. Not perfect, but a good time

Better than part one, left me with a taste to read more from this gruff old soldier's universe. :-)

Bra Sci-Fi action, följer utmärkt upp första boken. Uppläsaren är nog en av de bättre jag lyssnat på i den här genren.
