#10 Paradise-1 by David Wellington

The action never stops for Alexandra Petrova wakes from cryosleep during an emergency on a mission she takes after her last case fell apart.  She and Dr Zhang along with the captain need to figure out who is attacking them as they arrive near Paradise 1.  The Ship AI has crashed but they have a robot AI that can help them.  The action never stops, and the mystery builds as they figure out who is attacking them. The constant high pace of the book ends with a huge cliffhanger so it may not be for everyone.

#11 The Sinister Booksellers of Bath by Garth Nix

Even with this being the second book in the series I don’t think a reader will be that lost if they jump in here.   There are two types of booksellers the right and the left. The left use magic and the right doesn’t but both work together to contain magic in England.  Susan is a friend of some booksellers and gets called in during an emergency to use her magic to save her friend Merlin, who has been sucked into a magical map.  Once he is rescued then a plot is discovered about who made the map and what is being kept there.  A fun read and I hope there will be more in this series.
