No Signal by Jem Tugwell. A thoroughly entertaining thriller, yet thought provoking at the same time.
Wall of Silence was my Amazon First Prime read for March. It didn't quite work for me though. The community plays a big part in the story and every few chapters was would be a chapter that was just chat room conversation between the neighbors. It would be pretty much what you might expect with social media conversations- some comments toxic, some gossipy, and others from decent folks trying to take a stand or correct incorrect comments. I think others would like it just fine, but I struggled with the negative conversations and change of style.
I really miss watching baseball so this book has come at just the right time. It has scrimmage and tournament games, base stealing, signs, bunts, and pop flies.
Ten Tales of a Dark Tomorrow by Kevin Kuhn. A short story collection for fans of the Twilight Zone.
Cute, fun story where dinosaurs such as T-Rex's are an integral part of the Houston Police Department. In Terrible Lizard we get to see what it's like to work as a police officer paired with a velociraptor - at both work and home.
Proximity by Jem Tugwell.
