Simon Haynes

As a fan of Simon Haynes' "Hal Spacejock" novels, I'll admit I went into this new novel fully expecting to like it. My expectations were met and exceeded. I ended up liking Harriet Walsh even more than Hal. It's a fast-moving and fun space adventure with down-on-her-luck Harriet turning peace officer as an emergency solution to her problems. Despite the obstacles thrown at her by a well-meaning but overbearing robot superior, Harriet rises to the challenge of her new job. The characters are fun and well-drawn, and the plot moves quickly through twists and turns, leaving some unanswered mysteries for the continuation of the series. Also, this is clean reading for any age, so I can recommend it unreservedly for anyone who likes space and police adventure. Definitely will be reading more in the series!… (plus d'informations)
