Books 2009: brain AWOL, call again later
Books 2009: 98-101
98-99. Laura E. Reeve, Peacekeeper and Vigilante.
Space opera influenced more by nuclear disarmament than the traditional clash of superpowers. Ariane Kedros is a Reserve Intelligence officer for the Consortium of Autonomous Worlds, something that occasionally interferes with her job as a pilot for Aether Explorations. In both these books, Kedros's past with Temporal Distortion Weapons (the nukes of the future) comes back to haunt her. Entertaining, if a little ragged around the edges.
100-101. C. S. Forester, A Ship of the Line, Admiral Hornblower.
Admiral Hornblower is an omnibus comprising the last four Hornblower novels. A Ship of the Line is their immediate predecessor. Less exciting naval action, but still plenty to go around.
