Sinopsis

A THRILLING SCI-FI NOIR!
Earth has been used up, spent, depleted; the degenerate and immoral miscreants known as the human race have spread to the twenty-four space stations surrounding its lifeless corpse.
Space Station Delta, a melting pot of iniquity and depravity, was the worst of the lot.
At least, that's what Jack Gemini, private eye and self-proclaimed alcoholic, has decided.
It was the perfect punishment for his sordid and sleazy past, a past he struggled to let go, a past that wouldn't let him go.
SHOCKING TWISTS!
Eight years ago Jack fell into a time vortex and lost five years of his life.
He'd lost his home, his job, his wife...
And now she was back, asking for his help.
GRIPPING MYSTERY!
Stalked by a mysterious masked man and multiple murders, Jack Gemini must search for the husband of the woman he still loves, a professor with links to...


Reseñas Varias sobre este libro



Really enjoyable book. Cool protagonist, good story. Enjoyed it.1 Upstart English Tuition13 2

This simply didn't work for me, sadly.

It lacked what you might call 'body', in the same way that a poor craft beer can be watery and disappointing. The book was too short in that it lacked character development, but conversely too long, with scenes which dragged. I couldn't muster any enthusiasm for or connection with any of the main characters, and without that, the world-building wasn't strong enough to carry me through.

Very unusually, I guessed the ending. I usually prefer just to suspend my disbelief and go along for the ride. In fact, I mostly finished it to double-check if I was correct after all.

It's too sweary for a YA novel, so not sure if I would recommend it to emerging teenage readers either. Sorry!1 2 comments UK38
