Alastair Reynolds, The Prefect
Ace (2007) ISBN: 978-0-441-01591-7
Score: 0
Science fiction sharing a setting with a trilogy and another novel; I was told it could be read first, but I was confused trying to figure out the relationships between the political entities (Ultras/Conjoiners and Panoply/Glittering Band and Chasm City). I was also told this was a police procedural where the cops actually followed the procedures, and that may be so, but it seems like an awfully tyrannical system (cutting off all trade and communication to a habitat for a century just because someone there is suspected of exploiting a subtle computer glitch). After a couple chapters I decided I didn't like any of the characters, so I quit reading.
Next Book: Lawrence Watt-Evans, The Summer Palace
