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!

The Accidental War by Walter Jon Williams

I haven’t read any Walter Jon Williams in quite awhile.   This book is a novel of the Praxis and I’m guessing part of a series.   The story ends without a conclusion so I expect to see a sequel.  The two main characters are Sula and Gareth.   Former lovers and now no more than associates or so it seems.  I just opened the book again and see this isn’t a first book of the series but at least the third.  I guess I have some back reading.

An association of species brought together as an empire by a now deceased race is struggling to maintain the status quo.  A society wrapped in layers of bureaucratic rigmarole and entrenched hereditary leadership is starting to crumble.   Sula and Gareth are both symptomatic and causative. 

The story had enough nuances and action to keep me entertained.



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