Story4.5 out of 5 stars 126
A weekly newspaper dedicated to the weird and the wonderful (but mostly the weird), The Stranger Times is the go-to publication for the unexplained and inexplicable. At least that's their pitch. The reality is rather less auspicious. Their editor is a drunken, foul-tempered and foul-mouthed husk of a man who thinks little of the publication he edits. His staff are a ragtag group of misfits. And as for the assistant editor...well, that job is a revolving door - and it has just revolved to reveal Hannah Willis, who's got problems of her own.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 914
All Systems Red is the tense first science fiction adventure novella in Martha Wells' series The Murderbot Diaries. For fans of Westworld, Ex Machina, Ann Leckie's Imperial Raadch series, or Iain M. Banks' Culture novels. The main character is a deadly security droid that has bucked its restrictive programming and is balanced between contemplative self-discovery and an idle instinct to kill all humans.

Publisher's Summary
Things are about to get serious for Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, in the next entry in the number one New York Times and number one Sunday Times best-selling Dresden Files.
Harry has faced terrible odds before. He has a long history of fighting enemies above his weight class. The Red Court of vampires. The fallen angels of the Order of the Blackened Denarius. The Outsiders.
But this time it's different. A being more powerful and dangerous on an order of magnitude beyond what the world has seen in a millennium is coming. And she's bringing an army. The Last Titan has declared war on the city of Chicago and has come to subjugate humanity, obliterating any who stand in her way.
Harry's mission is simple but impossible: save the city by killing a Titan. And the attempt will change Harry's life, Chicago and the mortal world forever.

A much better performance... All around.
My goodness, where to begin?
Firstly, this is a much better story than Peace Talks. that story had no meat, whatsoever. So much so that Peace Talks isn't even acknowledged. I mean the fight between Harry and the Blackstaff isn't even mentioned! Anyway, the story has bones and good action. Empty Night, it even made me upset over a character death, one that I actively despised, so well done there. James Masters is back with a good performance. Remember the accents of the characters and bringing some life to them. I loved the short story at the end as well.
There is, in this book, the culmination of many little breadcrumbs, which is extraordinarily satisfying. Skip Peace Talks, just go straight to this.

The Butcher’s bill will be high.
Jim Butcher is back!
I was worried after the slow going “Peace Talks”, but all is forgiven after reading this action packed follow up.
It’s classics Dresden with some truly epic moment...and it’s also pretty funny too.

On your left!
Holy crap!
While this book is almost entirely focused on the gigantic battle set up at the end of “Peace Talks”, and it is gigantic — it makes Chichen Itza look like a bar brawl — many major plot events are still rolled in.
The landscape of the Dresden Files world will chdd as the dramatically.
This is no MCU.
Bring on book 18!
James Marsters kills it again. Mab and Ramirez sounding much more like their former selves.

Part 2
This is definitely the second part of one story.
Except for the beginning and end it was one big action scene.
Still meaningful things happened setting up more books and hooking me in.

Stars and Stones
Never before has a book made me laugh, cry, shout with joy and be given goosebumps all in one sitting like this book. If you’ve made it this far in Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files then you don’t need me to tell you how good these books are. What I can do is tell you this is one of the absolute best in the series so far. What picks up right after the end of Peace Talks is an absolute emotional and adrenal roller coaster of a book that will forever change the world that Harry inhabits. This book. Brilliant. Buy it. Or spend a credit. I’m rambling....
