I think the book is mistitled, but otherwise it's an interesting look at the birth of American forensic science. I found the cases, including the infamous Fatty Arbuckle trial, and the methodology far more interesting than the so-called American Sherlock, Oscar Heinrich. 3 💥💥💥 1/2

Book 3 for #EasterExtravangza @Andrew65

Death Warmed Over | Kevin J. Anderson

I really enjoyed this, more than any Anderson book in a long, long time. It reminded me a lot of Green's Nightside series, which is always a plus with me. Dan Chambeaux is a zombie PI dealing with ghouls, werewolves, vampires, ghosts and witches. It's all told in a fun, light hearted way.

Book 2 for the #EasterExtravangza readathon.

The High Crusade | Poul Anderson

This was not what I was expecting. In 1345, a spaceship lands on Earth, meets a group of English warriors. It could have been a grim, bloody story, instead it's almost a comedy as the Englishmen use the ship to create a kingdom of man among the stars. It's short, 160 pages, but a fun read. 4 💥💥💥💥

Book 1 for the #EasterExtravangza readathon

Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 This sounds different 😊 5y
swynn This is my favorite Anderson novel, and I'm happy to see you liked it too! Such a fun story, and it also seems to me a sly commentary about technological "progress." I feel a reread coming on ... 5y
RamsFan1963 @swynn Almost a satire, as the "primitive" earthmen outwitted and out maneuvered the "advanced" alien races who had forgotten things like hand-to-hand combat, sieges and subterfuge. I laughed at how easily Sir Roger tricked the Wersgorix into believe the Earth men were more powerful than their whole empire. 5y

Sometimes I feel like I'm in a perpetual readathon, I just finished #27Hours7Days readathon, but I'm definitely up for the #easterextravangza readathon. I'm off Sunday and Monday so I'll get off to a good start

@Andrew65

Andrew65 Great to have you with us! 😊👍 Readathons keep me motivated for my reading. 5y
