Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

This Honest Man by Robert J. Sullivan




This is the second of the Sam Dane interplanetary private detective books.   Sam is an ex-cop turned private who enjoys an intergalactic reputation.  This mystery puts him up against a world leader, a band of revolutionaries and some very mean capitalists. 

Bob has done a good job crafting a detective in a classic mold of a tough guy with a heart.   His small acts of kindness provide him with help in surprising ways.   He is a likeable character. 
I found this book more polished than the first book, In the Blood posted here a week or so back.    I enjoyed it too but this one put some synthetic oil in the cylinders and they seem to run more smoothly.   

The plot is intricate without being confusing.   The aliens are alien enough to add color but share emotional attributes that are identifiable.  

The story is fast paced and quite entertaining.  Sam shows surprising restraint and exhibits laudable traits.   There may be the root to a parable in his surprise to find an honest man. 
I recommend this book!

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
