“The Wolf Road” by Beth Lewis – Elka is one of most original and compelling characters I’ve met in a long time.
“Old Man’s War” by John Scalzi – entertaining, old school science fiction that is charming rather than challenging
“Strictly Analog” by Richard Levesque – original SF Noir detective story in a future California after the breakup of the USA
“The Silvered” by Tanya Huff – sent the audiobook back rather than listen to the narrator murder the text
