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!

Rosetta (Jim Meade: Martian P.I) [Kindle Edition] by R.J. Johnson


A hard boiled detective story set in space.   Jim Meade is a man who lives by the rules, his rules, not societies.   Jim finds himself trying to save the world when he thought he was just trying to solve a murder.

The characterizations are good.  You like Jim and his Leroy Jethro Gibbs type of rules.  He struggles to be a hard nosed, no nonsense tough guy but can't hide his innate goodness.

Emeline was a bit of a contradiction.   She was introduced as a major butt kicker but the author seems conflicted with that role.  Several times in the book, she squeals or cowers when her character seems more likely to knee someone in the groin.  

The concept and ensuing rendition were well done.   The plot moved quickly and there was plenty of action.   I am fond of this style and look forward to reading more by Johanson. 

I recommend the book.
Web Site:  I couldn't find one.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
