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!

Breach of Containment by Elizabeth Bonesteel


This is the third book in an excellent series.  Bonesteel has crafted a future that is exciting and dismaying as it clearly shows the foibles of today are also the foibles of tomorrow.  She also provides hope with her characterizations.

Elena, former Chief Engineer of Galileo is back as well as Captain Greg Foster.   There is still romantic tension between the two but the main focus of the story is the collusion between political and corporate entities.  The colony of Yakutsk is the primary setting where two domed cities are embroiled in petty competitiveness.  

Scavengers are depicted as hardy pioneer types while corporate is shown to be sleazy and corrupt.   Considering the amount of space junk currently in orbit around Earth it isn’t a stretch to think a couple of hundred years in the future a living could be made off of all the electronic waste we generate.  Look at the tons of plastic floating in our oceans.  

Artificial intelligence is depicted in various degrees of sophistication.   It adds to the flavor of the book.

This book stands alone okay but I would recommend reading Remnants of Trust and The Cold Between for background and for sheer enjoyment.

I highly recommend the book and the series.

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