Harry Dresden is a highly respected (if impoverished) wizard among the supernatural scene, and when a Vatican priest calls on him to help find the stolen Shroud of Turin, he is thrilled to take the job and the fee that goes with it. He is less thrilled to learn that horribly mutilated bodies and hit men are turning up in the investigation, and that Chicago crime-boss Marcone seems to be in the thick of it. At the same time, a top noble of the Red […]

The Jupiter War – hard to care
The Jupiter War is the Third part and the conclusion of “The Owner Trilogy” Series by Neal Asher. I normally adore Neal Asher’s writing – his Ian Cormac Series, the Skinner series, anything with Sniper the War Drone – let me throw my money at him. But I had a hard time with this series.
