#25 When Gods Die by C.S. Harris

This time Sebastian isn’t the suspect but with the Prince Regent in the cross hairs of a frame-up, Sebastian is pulled into the mystery of why the woman was found dead in the Prince’s rooms. This mystery does bring up some of Sebastian’s family history surrounding his mother. The mystery is solved and justice is served even if it is never brought public. Another good read that the pages flew by and came to an end all too quickly.

#26 Artificial Condition by Martha Wells

With the bribe of shared entertainment, Murderbot hops a ride with a AI research ship to the mining planet where they once worked and the site of a massacre. The ship and Murderbot slowly get to know one another over shared viewing of the entertainment and ARC helps Murderbot figure out a plan when they get down to the surface. They pick up a short-term security contract from some humans trying to get data from a former employer to cover their reasons for being on the surface. They do find out what really happened at the mining pit and what caused it.

Can’t wait for the next part of this story since I did leave out some really good parts for this review.
