Story
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.

Editorial reviews
In the second installment of Peter Temple's Jack Irish series, the Australian attorney and private investigator goes in search of the son of Des Connors, an old friend of Jack's dead father. What seems like a straightforward missing-person case soon becomes complicated, however, as Irish begins to discover the large-scale and nefarious truth behind Gary Connors' disappearance. Marco Chiappi performs with a brisk, no-nonsense style that gives a jolting clarity to the multiple storylines in Black Tide, and he embodies Temple's colorful characters with a snappy edge that roots the story in Melbourne's culture and vernacular.
Publisher's Summary
Jack Irish has no shortage of friends: jockeys and journos, lawyers and standover men, people in nameless occupations who aren't in the phone book. These days, though, the only family he sees are Irish men in faded football team photographs on the pub wall. So when Des Connors, the last link to his father, calls to ask for help in the matter of a missing son, Jack is happy to lend a hand. But sometimes prodigal sons go missing for a reason.
As Jack begins to dig, he discovers that Gary Connors was a man with something to hide. And his friends are people with darker and more deadly secrets.

Great character development
Jack Irish is an imperfect protagonist, unashamedly corrupt, yet endearing to the reader. His colleagues operate in the shady worlds of Melbourne, with a loveable disregard of the law, often protecting Jack from himself. The characters make the story.

Melbourne noir - dark, funny, sexy,
great reading of classic Melbourne crime novel where helping redress elder abuse leads to uncovering international crime syndicate, many trips to the races, morticing, plenty of beer & red wine, and the footy. Go the Saints.
