Excellent information, if packed in a long-winded account. Definitely worth a read.
Jeff McNeill reviewed Fugitive Telemetry by Martha Wells (The Murderbot Diaries, #6)
No, I didn't kill the dead human. If I had, I wouldn't dump the body …
Review of 'Fugitive Telemetry' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Way too short, and the story is realtime rather than an extended timeframe. Unfortunately because it was so short it was quickly obvious who the hidden murderer was (otherwise, why spend time with that individual?) Yeah, I like Murderbot a lot, but there was a lot less of the Murderbot media consumption and other aspects of the personality. If it wasn't Murderbot it would be 3 stars at best. Martha Wells is riding her success and not giving a good effort. I heard she had a new contract for more Murderbot novels. Hopefully she won't run this into the ground.

Jeff McNeill reviewed Star Wars by Delilah S. Dawson (Journey to Star Wars: The last Jedi)
One of the most cunning and merciless officers of the First Order, Captain Phasma commands …
Review of 'Star Wars' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Mediocre, and I still don't get the point. Is it that the First Order has honor and should not do anything it takes to survive, or that training children to do anything to survive sows the seeds of discontent? Some decent battle scenes and an exotic locale save the book, but the main motivation is hard to discern. So much musing and not much conclusion. I would have to agree with Phasma that the others are weak.
