6 books this week, although one was a very short fanfiction prequel and its successor, called Rise of the Wizards was rather venal.

Outstanding read this week has to go to Dan Frey's Dreambound, which I've already mentioned.
I also reread the Heinlein classic Have Spacesuit, Will Travel, and an interesting twist on the murder mystery front with Memory Blank by John Stith.

Book cover for "Memory Blank" by John E. Stith. The title is in bold red letters, and the author's name is in white above it. In the background, there's a view of space with a bright sun rising over a planet. A futuristic space station with a tall, vertical structure is on the right side. At the bottom, it says, "By the author of REDSHIFT RENDEZVOUS and MANHATTAN TRANSFER" in white letters.

This week's reading highlight was probably the second of the Brian Pinkerton novels: The Gemini Experiment follows attempts to transfer Human brains into cyborg bodies. Part of me thinks it's meant to be read entirely seriously, but then you get the whole Russian subplot and an utterly stupid action in chapter 15 which makes one think the author's partly playing it for laughs.
Either way, a quick thriller which I enjoyed.

The rest of the week's reading is listed at buttondown.com/SeansShelf/arch…

Book cover for "The Gemini Experiment" by Brian Pinkerton. The background features a silhouette of a bald head from behind, with circuit-like patterns and glowing lines suggesting technology or a neural network. The title "The Gemini Experiment" is centered, with "The Gemini" in bold red letters and "Experiment" in black. The author's name, "Brian Pinkerton," is displayed at the top in large, greenish-blue letters. At the bottom, there's a tagline: "A global crisis with a showdown that could change the course of history." A small publisher logo is in the bottom left corner.
