23. I finished Syndrome E by Franck Thilliez

It's an excellent police procedural with a little horror and international intrigue plus a developing romance between two damaged cops. And a surprise ending. Very nice.

Now i'm reading Shards of Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold. It's about love and war on alien worlds. Good stuff. I've never read Bujold before but she tells entertaining stories. this is the first in a series and I plan to follow it for a bit.

Next is The Collapsing Empire, a new one by John Scalzi. I was six weeks on the hold list and I have high hopes for it. Scalzi is one of my favorites.

I had to swear off Rebus when I went on the wagon.
