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!

Syndicate's Pawns by Davila LeBlanc

This book picks up where Syndicates Pawn left off.   Jinxed Thirteenth, the Covenant starship, is repairing damages from the rogue AI in the previous book.   They can not get to slipdrive which is their faster than light travel until they make repairs.   They are lacking a part and send out a distress call.   The distress call is intercepted and put out as an invitation on their version of the dark web.   An offer of help soon proves to be no help at all. 

The book shows discrimination due to differing races and intelligences.  The author shows how prejudices can be overcome by unexpected actions and behaviors.   I like the way it was done.   The diverse crew of the Jinxed brings new meaning to diversity and the villains add too that mix.

The plot was good and they characters were interesting.  I found the second volume better than the first and I hope to see more from this author.

I recommend.

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